So this id the first project I have really taken a shine to. It is a bottle design for a tango brief. It called for an awesomely designed bottle and a good label. Still to work on the label but almost finished making the model of the bottle.
It started off as a solid works 3D model but not i have had the mold CNCed and had the two halves vacuum formed. This was the best way to get a really authentic model.
 |
| This is the two halves of the mold smoothed down and stuck together. I had to stick them together to make sure that the two sides were flush. |
 |
| I had to add 9mm MDF to the base so i could get the right shape when vacuum forming. |
 |
| The mold on the vacuum former. |
 |
| The mold and the formed plastic over the top. |
 |
| Removing all of the excess plastic where the 9mm MDF was with a tool called a 'Razor saw'. not as cool as it sounds. |
 |
| The two formed parts next to each other. not glued together yet, that is tomorrows job. |
That is a whole days worth of work. It took a lot more time than i thought it would but i managed to get this far. I'll get some more pictures up when it's all completed.
