Time to build my self a Cloud Car.
After countless iterations of the basic shape I got to a point where I think it's pretty close. Still working on the armature and engine at this point.
Next step turned out to be more involved than I thought. I had to offset the model the exact amount that would be taken up by the styrene during vac forming also taking into account the stretching. Got there in the end.
The parts laid out ready for tool path.
Next step cut to size and laminate two pieces of 32mm MDF.
I'll leave them over night to make sure there bonded well.
The left over MDF I'll do the same but for this.
Everything should be ready for milling on the weekend and if I have time may do a couple of test pulls.
