Has anyone ever made their own plastic canopy for a 40k vehicle.....preferably without using a vacuum former.

I have a goal of someday replacing the panel in a Hammerhead that has the "visor" with a clear canopy and cockpit that has Longstrike.

Going to be rather difficult to copy that series of curves without a vacformer.

Yeah, you could do it with a clear resin cast - but you will still require damn good mould making skills AND both the knowledge of how to cast glass-clear parts AND the hardware to do so (bubble removal is key).

this seems to be a tall order, de-gassing is a must if you're gonna try to cast clear resin.

You could try to make panels with clear styrene sheet but not sure how it would look.
