After discussing with friends about making bulk scenery ie walls , bunkers etc for games we play we have decided after looking online to make our own plastic mould vacuuming machine...doesnt look too hard

So hopefully in a couple of months we shall either have some scenery or we have burnt the house down.


Should be interesting though

 

Which machine you gonna use Steve?

Don't go and electrocute yourself Steve !
Hope it works though.

Cheers - Phil

Its going to be a homemade machine

Nothing fancy just a box with a vacuum cleaner attached underneath master on top which the heated plastic goes onto . Probably put the plastic in some dort of hinged frame so it always fits over the master without too much handling of hot plastic

You MUST post phortos of that!!!

Again I am amazed at the inventiveness if not the sanity of forum members.

What sort of thing are you going to try and make?

Just bunkers and sandbag emplacements etc...maybe a house

Maybe some terrain features...like hills etc but we shall start small

Count me as an interested external party. One can never have enough bunkers, sandbag emplacements or ruins...

We shall see what happens

Please video it: could be worth £250

Are you sure you want a video of me burning myself and the house down?...Silly question really..why 250?

Assuming you and your nearest and dearest were safe

Never watched the programme

You haven't missed much

Must be a big vacuum cleaner if it can suck up moulds 

Yup, that's my coat over there, the white one with the long sleeves.

Yes....The more it appears you've hurt yourself....The more likely they are to show it !
And as Gareth says.....You haven't missed much at all.

And before anybody says anything.....A lot of the time......It's one of those shows when you're flicking thro' the channels when you see some complete Muppet doing something completely blanking stupid.....And you simply HAVE to watch for a minute or two, to see which part of the idiot's going to get crunched.

Then you continue flicking thro' the channels.......That's my excuse anyway.

Just make sure you get the buckles nice and tight at the back

Yes...when they're about to destroy the house with a home-made vacuum mold for example

 
Sounds about right to me !!

For reason I am reminded of the boy at school who took a bet that he would not put a certain appendage in the hose of a Henry. It ended with him screaming 'turn it off. turn it off'...
