Always wanting to make more work for myself and not let things be, I noticed while watching ALIEN the other night a sort of tapered edge going across the center of the creature's dome. This is easily seen when the beast is at rest on the Narcissus....just before it strikes out it's hand at Ripley. So, whatta ya gonna do.....Had to make some adjustments to my dome sculpt and vacuum form some samples. Will I be replacing the domes already painted?....Heck no! I love them...but, an alternate dome wouldn't hurt right? I know....I'm ridiculous. Anyway, enjoy my ghetto vacuum form station set up in the back of my truck bed...hey, when you don't have a huge work studio, you do what ya gotta do to create something. LOL! Images were taken with my smartphone so apologies about the quality on some of them... ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎vacuumforming‬ ‪#‎dome‬ ‪#‎sculpting‬ ‪#‎nostromo‬

This is the 4th pull on a new thermoformer. Knowing that that undercuts and voids would propose a problem, the test was used to gauge the heating elements and the vacuum in relation to a specific material cross-section, against a rather activated form.

Calvin is in the final stages of manufacture of component parts for his lamp model. He will be using polystyrene to create a hemispherical dome for the top of his lamp. This will emerge from a hole cut out of pine 'furniture board' and this in turn will enable the dome to attach to the central cylindrical form of the bottom part of the lamp. This central cylinder is made from aluminium sheet which has been pop rivited together. Seven holes have been drilled around the circumference of the aluminium and these will accomodate nylon spikes that have been turned on the metalwork lathe. These will be attached using epoxy resin adhesive. These spikes have been counter-bored with a step drill so that the light will be transmitted along the nylon to the end of the spike. An energy efficient bulb and holder will be mounted on a wooden base at the bottom of the aluminium section.
Calvin has worked extremely hard over the last few weeks and has easily risen to each and every challenge that his concept has generated along the way.
Even the creation of the mdf former created issues by Calvin persevered with steely determination and kep at it until he was satisfied with the results. Good work, looking forward to seeing the completed model.
