Jimmy Flintstone would be one possible resin caster?

Dealing with a broken hand right now... can't get a vacuum form built til it heals.

Good news, guys... my hand is working again and I found a commercially available vacuum forming rig that works nicely. After five tries, I finally got number 6 to come out. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures for you in the next few days, and be able to get back to work on this one.

Spent all last night forming the beginnings of the interior tub and fitting and trimming the bubble to fit... so far, so good. Didn't want to finish forming the bodywork til I had the actual bubble... now I can do that, and start working on the interior.
