Part 2 how I make an Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato body for my Tamiya M-06 RC chassis. I'm using 0.8mm Polycarbonate sheets (tradeware names of Polycarbonate sheets are e.g. "Makrolon" or "Lexan"). Here it is Makrolon.
Polycarbonate must be pre-dried before vacuum forming. I'm doing this for 1h at 100°C. Then I take the sheet out of the oven, heat the oven to 200-210°C and put the sheet back in for approx 1 min until it sags for approx. 4-5 cm in the middle. Then I place it over the mold with the vacuum already running. I'm also warming the mold a little before with a heat gun.
