[WWI] Is a vac-form worth trying?

[Douglas Anderson]

Vac provide many benefits, and drawbacks too. If you have the patience, and a well stocked spares box ( I do not know the quality of this kit) then yes, by all means have a go. $6 is not too bad a price for some fun and developing a new skill.

Hi,

Saw a vac-form Martinsyde for sale on line for $6 and thought I'd like to give it a go.

I'm a decidedly average modeler.

I tried a resin kit once, and broke pretty much every strut whilst trying to get them off the blocks, and put the kit away till I got better/more patient.

Do you think it would be worth trying vac-form?


Is there a lot of scratchbuilding etc. involved?  I feel comfortable making struts now ;)


I won't be doing much to the interior, its for hanging from the ceiling.

TIA
