Don: Your local Hobby Lobby should have some K&S vinyl sheeting in thicknesses from 0.005" up to 0.030". It looks like you are the right track trying to form the clear over a form. The vinyl sheeting is much more forgiving than clear styrene or Vivak when wrapped around a form and heated with a heat gun or hair drier. Just take it easy on the heat: When the edge of the vinyl curls you are just past "there". BTW: I have used short pieces of PVC pipe to get the right curve. No easy answers I'm afraid. |

Thanks everyone. Our local hobby shop closed up after Christmas. Closest one now is 90 miles away. Looks like on line shopping. Onward and upward! |

I hate it when that happens. I have to drive to Sioux Falls or Sioux City [at least 100 miles to either city] or to Omaha to find a Hobby Town. |
