Did Santa include some of the plastic sheet to use?

If not here are the dimensions the Vac-U-Form came with when new. 3" X 3 1/2".

I cut my pieces from plastic "For Sale" signs from the local hardware store. I use a sewing needle and a piece of cardboard to punch the holes around the edges 12 on the 3" side and 14 on the 31/2" side.

I hope this helps you get forming soon.

Cheers;

Well folks, I didn't get any booze, but I was happy to receive a very gracious multi-genre hobby bounty:

Nice to see the old Star Trek Adversary Set reissued!

Hope you all had a happy holiday, too! (And not just from getting goodies!)

You read my mind Bgrigg, I was going to say, why not stop all the arguing and have some good Canadian whiskey Durr, that is pretty good, seems like that might apply to more people than you think!

I'm not much of a beer kinda guy, but I do like a corona every once in awhile, now if we are going to bring some whiskey to the party! WOO HOO!

Gentlemen please, Corona, Coors Light? Five words ALEXANDER KEITH'S INDIA PALE ALE!   Keeps your hands steady for building after consumption because you don't want to spill.   Cheers; Gregory

Nothing, unfortunately.  My wife pointed out that I had more than enough models (of course, I think she has more shoes, but I still got her a GC to buy more).  Good thing I put in a large order to Tower Hobbies shortly before Christmas . . . as a result, I got to open more gifts, today!  :)

Santa brought me The Great Raid director's cut.  No modeling materials or hobby shop gift certificates, but such is life.

I will just have to do my hobby shopping myself
