Here is a link about moulding canopies out of soft drink plastic bottles. Have not tried it but it looks neat. http://dkd.net/clmodels/acln/acln90.pdf

Jim,

That is a great site. Ear-marked it for future reading.

The canopy info is great. I learned about that method from a Bob Hunt video, Randy Randolph's "Texas Tips".

Can affirm that this method really produces excellent results ........... follow the directions in the articles and above all have patience with the heatgun. The better the template you construct will affect the finished product ....... I found that clear Coca-Cola bottles return good results ............ worked for me.


jonuck,

Works well indeed. You might need a few attempts to figure out the right size of the extra piece of wood that is needed to keep the tension in the plastic.
