Description Workshop shot from today's tinkering.  This is a plaster mold plug, which I'm going to be using to vacuform a kydex posture collar in my ongoing project to duplicate Knotbot's strappy straitjacket.  This is based off measurements taken from its intended wearer.  Tiny provided a study cast of her neck, from which I worked.  The odd dome at the top of the neck and the angular bits at the bottom are so that the kydex sheet forms without buckling or undercutting.  I sort of think the top looks like a medieval jousting helm.  More pics soon.

Somewhat stalled on this at the moment, due to dealing with some RL issues.  Back on track soon.

Multistage process:  I spent the early morning until around noon casting and carving plaster.  I've spent the rest of the day building a larger vacuum table as this won't fit on the one I normally use for small parts.
