Vacuum forming a CFO ESB MKII helmet

[sskunky]

Hi guys and gals.

 

I've had this posted on my Facebook page for a couple of weeks and forgot to post it here. I've had thousands of views on there so I guess this is enjoyable to watch.

This is the first ESB MKII faceplate pull. I got a bit of webbing on the bottom of the tube on this one but have sorted that now.

 

Enjoy!

LOVE THIS!

I was asked too post this one too. Whilst not strictly ESB it could be an ESB MKII

Thanks for sharing this! Wish I could just produce a new set of armor like that whenever I want.

Ah, the beauty of this! I could just watch this all day long. Haha, I really need to build another TK..

Awesome sight to see a freshly-pulled stormie face

Very nice, Mark

 

I keep seeing these machines coming up for sale and I would snap one up if I had the space for one

Thanks Paul,<br><br>

This thing pulls beautifully. <br>

I've had it in storage for a few years as I had nowhere to use it. It was sold to me as a 3phase and I bought a new pump to convert it. When i put it in my workshop I opened it up and it was single phase. All I had to do was put in a new circuit and plug it in. Result. <br><br>

I get better cleaner pulls that the pro formers I was using. <br>

I guess it helps that I can alter moulds and experiment far more doing this at home.
