parade

[lievenwynants]

hello this one is my new vignet
the inspiration is from a picture

started with buying a kit on scale 1/12 from matchbox a vincent black shadow
than sculpting half a figure

and than made a vacum from for the airplane

this is the start

 

[lievenwynants]

the rest

What an excellent project. I look forward to watching you progress with this and hats off to you for doing your own vac-forming.

 

[lievenwynants]

thx

the vacuum forming is easy and quick to make, and doesn't cost much
just a strong vacuumcleaner and some wood

What a fascinating project , skilled modelling

Wonder what the story is behind the picture and the machine ?

Look forward to more on this

Happy benchtime

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Looks to be some kind of fund-raising effort, the banner on the back appears to say "Hospitals needs pennies from heaven". The registration plate shows the letters ED, which were issued in Liverpool.

That's truly amazing. could you please explain a little bit more about the vacuum ? I'm from Belgium and not "fluemnt" in english, so what do you mean by strong vaccum cleaner ? I guess you have to make the plastic sheet hot and that the thickness of plastic is also important , right ?

great you saw that and you share it with us
i saw also that the bike a BSA is and i would like to use it but those kits costs lot and very hard to find.

It's a great idea and I just love odd stuff from the time around WW1-WW2
I think you have made a great job on it so far and really looking forward to follow the progress.
Thank you for showing the vac-form device, have had it in mind but never got around trying it.
