More Product Details

For making small, highly-detailed vacuum formed components, this desktop machine can't be beat. The all-in-one design includes an overhead heater for softening the plastic sheet, a clever lever-operated transport frame that lowers the plastic sheet over the pattern, and a base unit containing an extra-strong-vacuum chamber to draw the plastic tightly over the pattern. Use it to make airplane canopies, tire molds, rock and retaining wall molds, dollhouse decorations, model junkyard debris, railroad flat car loads, hopper car loads, coal piles, wall and roof panels, and so much more. Industrial-quality machine is capable of making thousands of moldings. Works with clear, white, black, tinted or opaque plastic sheets up to .040 inch thick. Note: Not for use with polycarbonate. Sheet size: 5 inch square. Maximum pattern length: 5 inches when placed diagonally in the 4 inch square chamber. Includes steel beads that support patterns with irregular bottom surfaces. Overall dimensions: 8 inches wide x 10 inches deep x 12 inches high. Weight: 10-1/4 pounds. 110vAC line cord; 4 feet long.

Great Machine That Fills Need In Hobby Vacuum Forming

A neat machine that fills a void for the hobbyist who needs a plastic vacu-former. I had been using a vacu-form box that required being put in my kitchen oven with my household vacuum as the suction. It was very unwieldy and didn't produce great results. This machine does it all! Very solid construction, and the internal vacuum is quite powerful. I haven't tried the ball bearings included for irregular shapes yet. I wish this machine had a timer for when the plastic is ready to "form" over the master, but I guess that's not feasible, with different thicknesses of plastic being used for different projects. So I have to do the trial and error thing, but I do walk away with a quality usable form. This is a great machine at a decent price. Definitely recommended!

Great tool!

Good quality foam clay

Unlike any air dry clay I've used .
Very easy to manipulate , doesn't stick to your fingers .
Can be made into paper thin sheets that hold their shape .

Thick sections will take well over 24 hours to dry out ; high water weight when fresh .
Evaporation slows down considerably once the outer " crust " dries on thick pieces .

After 24 hours @ 78 degrees and about 60% humidity , the 3.1 gram sample I experimented with weighs 1.2 grams .
.. and after 48 hrs weighs just 1/2 gram ,, and I don't think it's fully dry yet .

Definitely worth the price .
Very versatile .

My only complaint is the bag it comes in .
It is a zipper lock bag but you need to remove a fair amount of the product before you'll be able to engage the zipper .
It's stuffed full when new .
I fit the bag into a plastic container ( Folgers coffee 43.5oz can ) with an inch of water at the bottom to ensure it doesn't dry out until I use enough to be able to close the bag .
Most likely keep it in that can regardless , just to be safe .

Quality miniature model paint

This stuff is comparable to Vallejo paints which everyone in the hobby already knows are tried and true. I honestly would not be able to tell the difference between the 2 brands looking at a finished model or trying to paint with it. The price is about the same but this includes slightly bigger bottles with a better design on the lid and seem to come with a plastic mixer ball already inside but its hard to tell for sure. This paint set also includes a paint thinner and cleaner for airbrushing. Its really hard to beat the price and value of this paint set for anyone wanting to have a quality paint job on something. I would say its near impossible.
