SERENITY - Sept 2 2005 |
Back to the engine and the flap things that open every so often. Well I cut up part of one of the castings and ground it down to thin it but I would never get it thin enough. Since there was some cut out details also I felt I had to do a vac form of the part |
Here is the part on the Mattel vac-form table. It is a toy but it does work for little things |
Another view of the clear sheet being heated |
Puled over and the suction applied |
Another view |
It took 4 tried to get 2 good ones |
One of the 2 good ones |
The first one lost vacuum and was not heated up enough |
The second one was heated up too much and is wrinkled |
the 2 good ones |
