You can see that these two spent a lot of time together and that they are true professionals. Although they have two different ways to get the paneling done, they know that they can rely on each other to get it done on time. The builds are super valuable. Watching them I am almost transported back in time. And watching them both at ILM working on a movie prop!

The Vac-U-Form machine was made by Ron Charles & Associates (RC Vac-U-Form) in Wilmette, Illinois (Chicago area), circa 1988 to 1991. I recently inherited the 8 x 11 size machine from my old employer, a St. Louis area professional model shop that just closed. That machine was $450 new in January 1990.

I absolutely and totally agree on all aspects of this. In Sweden, children are actively encouraged to take up the arts at school, especially music. When I was in secondary school (year 7), here in Australia, most schools had music classes, but only a few, like mine, had musical instruments for us to learn. I have always thought that it is a shame that art has always had to take a back seat to Math, Science and English. They should be treated equally from the time a kid enters school until the day they leave.

I’ve 3D printed a negative vaccume forming mold in ABS complete with vent lines, bolt off undercuts, and a tube cooling passage for compressed air to get the extra detail and surface greebles. The porous qualities of FDM make it a fantastic vaccume forming mold process. FYI, don’t use PLA for this, the hot plastic sheet will destroy the mold details almost instantly. Use ABS or PETG to get repeated parts

Fructose medium hair spray in a spritz bottle sprayed over an area then sprinkle the crushed rock salt on that. The hair spray makes it easier to work with. using water with salt can leach the salt into the paint or form a crust, which can be useful for certain finishes. The hair spray gives a cleaner finish.

He told me in a video call about all the different kinds of creative art skills I wanted to do and to make props is to be innovative and a production company! Not just a studio. An listen to what the project is saying to you. Thank you, Fon! You can do the same paint trick with a spray bottle, water drops, sand, and sugar! I found a net trick with fine window screens. Lay a piece over the top of your foam or model paint over it then pull the screen off and it will give a cool 3d effect to your work!

Adam discovering salt chipping that wargamers have used for ages is so serendipitous full circle considering how many techniques and tools I take away from these videos. Ive always seen it done by spraying hairspray on the model for the salt to adhere to and then a damp toothbrush to knock away the salt and peel up some hairspray. Then a clear coat to lock down your work. But that was always done with kosher salt. The crushed rock salt for more variety is a great idea Im gonna take

Getting to paint it nice then add the weathering reminded me of how fine-scale models in 80s and 90s gave me that sense of excitement and dread of screwing it up. And yes shiny can be too shiny, but also the model paints back then would look too uniform and matte/dull for actual rust. My secret was to use actual rust mixed with matte clear enamel or lacquer been so long I forgot which. Anyways in the basement was a glass jar with vinegar, salt and some scrap metal or even crushed tin cans. Once in awhile I'd remove any metal left then slowly drain the jar, refill it with water and let sit overnight to "rinse" the fine rust particles and next day slowly drain most of the water then let it sit to dry. The what was left was a rust cake that easily crumbled into super fine powder. Cost was a few pennies and some time, results on models... priceless. ;)
