I used clay to support the canopy when it was time to cut it out.

John, that is a great idea! I have been toying with the thought of filling it with mold-making silicone. Clay is probably easier. I’ve also read/seen/heard that aN easy-does-it Sanding on a flat surface will ease the removal.


Mostrich, already did “crack” on the kit part...

Hey Lyle, I never use knives to cut vac forms. Try using nail scissors! I keep a pair for cutting thin plastic forms with slot cars.

That makes sense. I have a pair of suture scissors.....about the same size.

Say, by the way, how is the car coming? :lashed:

Canopy arrived a couple of days ago from Italeri. They sent both clear sprues, not just the canopy. Insurance i guess.

It matches the masks, which is what I was hoping for.

Now, to burnish the canopy and seal it with some Future. Sheesh. ... this only took a couple of hours.

Glad to see you back on this one.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
