If you mean a vaccum former, its a big machine with a heater. You stick a wooden mould in the bottom, heat up a big sheet of plastic, pull a lever then the plastic covers the mould and finally you turn on the vaccum which sucks all of the air out.

Tamiya color spraycans are the best for plastics

Awesome! That is so leet. I agree, you should gets some medals. Especially if everyone else can do this. Just imagine, thousands(or hundreds) playing dreamcast whereever they want. You better hope someone doesnt turn this into a business and takes away your baby.

Good Job. I cant wait for the finished product. riva16 is gonna freak!

Yeah, my mom is an OT.. One of that patients there got sucked into an industrial sized vacuum former. They should have let her die. She was brain dead. Oh well.

BTW, that is one of the best made portable game cases I have seen. Awesome stuff!

Where did you vacuum form anyway? I would love to do the same for a portable PSOne... But no... I'm stuck trying to find a plastic case big enough to install everything as needed...
