The top part was made out of styrene though. The bottom and side were made from one of those lids from a kids chocolate milk. You can see one next to it in the pics. I don't think either piece was made from vinyl. I did put a primer coat and a coat of flat black under the chrome. I just want to put ...

basically what i had in mind was doing a set of 1/350 sized stargazers in a few different configurations. so the styrene part that i would be copying would be the top of the saucer section on a 1/350 enterprise. i didn't know if the styrene would be thick enough to be able to take the heat and vac f...
