Hello all!
I just found out about this board so, please excuse my delay in posting. I've been vacuforming almost as long as Jim has, since we both started building our machines at the same time, and even helped each other a bit along the way. But that all seems like ancient history at this point.
At any rate, I look forward to sharing any knowledge or past experience I've had with this whole prop making madness with all of you and hope to learn a thing or two, as well!
I'm sure you've all seen these projects before, but for those who might have missed them, here's a recap:
I hope to have some new stuff very soon, as time permits. Until then, happy vacuforming!

Hey John!
Glad you made it over to my humble little corner of the web. Yes, I remember the good old days, when we were trying to get our vac-rigs going, and were posting back and forth on the super long RPF thread. Remember that? I wish they had archived that thread.  Oh, well.
Yea, one reason I started this board, was to share ideas on vacuum forming. I know I've learned a lot, and I know you will be a valuable contribution to the content of this board. Glad to see you are still at it, and your stuff looks great!
Jim |

Yup, I remember the plethora of great information contained in that RPF thread. But, now that we have this forum, I'm positive it will rival any other source for vacuforming knowledge so, I sincerely thank you for making it possible, Jim!

Well unfortunately, Iron Man will most likely be my only full armor project for quite some time. I do have plans for making a War Machine helmet, but not sure when that will happen.

Those are some great pics.
It is a shame that so much plastic gets wasted during vac pulling. What's worse is that our local recycling center will not accept it. Still haven't figured that one out yet. |

Yeah well, that's just the nature of the beast. The up side of it all is, it's the easiest and cheapest way to replicate multiple copies.
