I am surely looking forward to the INFINITY release ! these images should come with a parental advisory i remember when coming back into the hobby - and knowing literally nothing - i bought what i thought was a Wellington kit only to find sheets of "white abhorrence" like the above when i opened the box i felt abused lol Rick Griewski, Lee White, jgrease and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npb748r Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 completely off topic but in 50 odd years of sticking plastic together with glue I've never built a vac form kit. Maybe I should give one a try at least before the eyes and fingers give up completely !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just start with an easy(ish) kit, like a Dynavector Wyvern, and not something that says 'Combat' or 'Airmodel' on it.

Tony T Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Looking good. I would really like a T.11 but the pharter-bomber will go nicely with the Meteors in the stash. I will build them one day. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should give one a try at least before the eyes and fingers give up completely !!! It always amazes me that folks haven't tried a vacform; back in the day they were the only way to get models of esoteric types. In many cases they built up into great representations of the real thing and gave us a great opportunity to hone our scratchbuilding skills. Most recently I built one last year and loved it.

seiran01 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I own a few vacs, but admittedly they're only here so that I can copy the shapes into CAD as the basis for models I want to build. I simply have no patience whatsoever for scratchbuilding even the simplest items, so building vacs is out of the question for me, but I seem to have near-infinite patience for computer designs.

One person's PITA is another's enjoyment: I enjoy them and I'm sure others do too. Funnily enough this thread had me looking at popular auction sites for vacs. I haven't found anything inspiring yet but will report back if I do. KiwiZac, Lee White, npb748r and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I have over the years built a fair number of vacs. I am a dentist who has access to a lot of instruments, resins and impression materials with my career which aided immensely. Problem solving is a big part of what I did , and vacs are problems in approach and timing of build sequences. Therefore, to me vacs have been both fun and frustrating. Dynavector were truly the Tamiya of vacuforms. Vacs definitely for everyone- but you should challenge yourself. MikeC and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Well it didn't take long: I pulled the trigger on a Rareplanes Ryan ST/PT. I'd wanted one back in the '80s and had forgotten about it for years. It's not LSP scale (a shame indeed) but will certainly do!

I surely are looking forward to this Vampire master piece and buy a few of these.... as related to vacuform building... in the old days these were the only way to go to get a specific type. I made an original 1/32 F-100 Super Sabre from ID Models over 35 years ago.... The canopy and windshield over these 35 years have "yellowed".... may be I should pull these parts from a Trumpeter kit released in 2008. More info on my website, see profile info... Happy modelling and stay safe!
