The mini vac-former! Just waiting on a t-piece and some hose-barbs to hook it up to the pump.

The vac table is only 100mm diameter, but it’s more than enough for forming textured silicone over the raw models of noses and paw-pads. Should finally give the quality of results I’ve been looking for.

Knocked out with the laser-cutter at the London Hackspace and some mesh I had in stock.

EDIT: Aw yeah, it works!
