First of all, not sure if this is the right place to ask this. Please move if not.
Anyway, I am making a custom figure as a birthday gift for a friend and I wanted to make a blister for it. I want to at least make the plastic bubble inside to hold everything in place. Then I'll put it in a figure protector case.
Does anyone know how to do that or can anyone direct me to a good tutorial?

I saw a guy use half of a clear food container as a bubble for a custom. Worked rather nicely, too.

Did he just place it over a figure and shoot it with a heat gun? The clear ones with the hinged lid. Like this: img0129.psstatic.com/181471584_50-plastic-clear-5quot-food-take-out-clamshell-container.jpgHe had a bunch of Hasbro customs & made custom cards for them. I'm assuming he either used a heat gun or some other type of adhesive. They were very well done. |

Those guys are really good!!! I think I'm going to end up building a vacuform machine. I watched some tutorials and it looks easy enough.
