    Vacuum forming: helmet

    Remove this ad: become a supporter
    Hey all...
    My father had a great idea on how to best build a helmet.
    with the program papakura TeamViewer 3 gets you a form, such as the helmet guy.
    1. one tinkers from the paper form (paperkura viewer 3)
    2. the completely bonded helmet, sealed it with silicon.
    3. Stroking the inside of the helmet with gibs, gibs is waiting until the dried and then pours the helmet with gibs.
    4. What to do now is called "vacuum forming".
    Instructions can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVVE5EHzRnk
    5. if this is done you have the finished Form.
    6. paint
