Default Basic Vacuum Forming

That is a basic introduction although, admittedly, it barely scratches the surface. As time permits I will post additional information if the interest is here. Namely, there is much to be said about making your molds to allow for the best forming. Also, for those who asked, I will post some pics and a few words on making the exhaust stacks for my Hawker Typhoon. Below is a pic of the finished static prop. The blades are cast from resin or polyurethane which is another topic to be covered if you guys are interested. I welcome any and all comments you guys may have on stuff I may have forgotten or on tips you may have to make things easier/better. Also, if you have any particular questions regarding the process please put 'em here so everyone can benefit from the replies. Regards, Chad.
