Finally!!! :)

I've got a few minutes, so here's what I've been up to in the second half of July:

After the last episode of "Rainstorm Aerodynamics - Meet Mr. Soggyback and the Soggyskirts", I finally hunted down a 2x3m piece of coroplast (polypropylene). I cut out the top of the Kammback and both sides and hit a wall with how to smoothly join them. So I had to make another Kammy, this time one piece.



In order to bend it I needed to warm the inside of the bend. The Wife's hairdrier wasn't good enough, so I used a small camping stove. To make sure that the bend is straight I clamped the line between two pairs of wooden boards.



This setup also helped keep the heat close to the bend line and off the rest of the sheet.
Safety Note: Make sure to keep an eye on the wood when warming!!
After a few hours of fooling around I finally got it right
