30 June 2010 | vacuform and soldering..

here is the shape as vacuform, that\'s the first try, it\'snot perfect and I have been burning my fingers (the plastic was too thick and Ibroke the wooden frame around, so i had to vac form it with my bare hands, howstupid can I be..

Anyway, most of the shape is there and I only need to use a small part

so here it is while being further deformed with my Dremel

Now something more exciting, the side way,a ll done insoldered PE and brass rod, it IS strong :)

You can also see some of the stanchions I use/ will beusing, actually I wonder whether the top cabin needs them.

 

that\'s what really cool with feeling \"free\" towards what i model in that i can sever this or that part for pure aesthetic reasons ;)
