Vacuum Forming

This is no picture Saturday!
I worked on a little foam plane today, to see if I could get it flying, then give it away to someone.  I got it all done and then started working on the a tail turret for the B-36.  I thought I had found the ideal thing at the Dollar Store, but the ping pong ball was a little too large.  At the club drawing for Earl's stuff I had chosen a Vacuum Forming machine, so I decided to make a turret with it. I got it and the instructions out and discovered it was not all done.  We ended up making a run to Bredfield's for some parts and then I had to wait for some epoxy to cure.  I made two on my first attempt and one turned out OK!  I made up some mounts for it using magnets, so it is easy to remove if I need an air outlet when flying.
