09-11-2009 :: 3 different circles

So i started by doing the circles that will end up around the Ball Turret. I had done some in photoetch but those were way too thin.

09-11-2009 :: Vacuforming the sides

That's the most stupid way i found yet to vacuform something: I put one of my balls on my Iron holder and pressed the heated plastic against it this way! Well, it worked tremensously well

09-12-2009 :: The side axis

As you could see on the photoetch fret (if you got good eyes) I had foreseen to do the side axis as some photoetch part -that's a piece less to cut in plastic for me. There is also the fact that Photoetch is strong enough to allow me to apply a thin plastic strip on the outside to make the main "support" metal part.

09-12-2009 :: Side axis plastic bending

Hçow to get this shape? simple, i first cut a sheet of very thin platsic, shaped it around a sort of small pen or needle, and then with a nail shaped the "change of shape", after I just had to glue it on the fret :)

Here i actually glue the plastc bit  -the trick to get the shape still right despite the torsion applied to the plastic was to keep a "tail" long enough so that the plastic keeps it shape, so i just had to put the plastic on the axis and it was okay

honestly, I amm not sure my english vocabulary is enough to explain this bit
