Back again with more Gun Skiff gun stuff – a curved barrel shroud for the upper mini-gun.
Xbox grill looked perfect for what I had in mind, except there’s no way to bend it into the shape I needed – so did some prep work on it prior to vacuforming:
Used the home-made vacuformer to make a thinner and therefore flexible copy:
Sanded it until the bumps became holes, cleaned the holes up with a sharp blade:
Cut it in half through the middle and glued up this structure:
Undercoated the inside with Krylon black, then used boiling water to bend it into shape…
And glue and some clamps did the rest:
Hopefully I’m done with the gun detailing, so next time it will be back to the engines!
Thanks for looking!
Very clever. What home vac former do you have. Any info will be cool.
