So, now that I finished the Stapleton Kit of the TR-590 Tricorder, I wanted to make a holster. I figured out, that 1mm polystyrene cardboard would be a easy to use choice. It reacts very good to heat and is easily cut. So first I started to make a paper pattern, to figure out the right size. After a few tries I decided to make a technical drawing to get all the dimensions right. After I finishing and printing it, I cut out the polystyrene cardboard to the dimensions of the drawing. Now I made two different approaches to get the material into form: for one version I only used a heatgun to form all the foldings. It was a little bit difficult to fold the very soft polystyrene in a proper way and get straight and even folds. Though the result looks a bit more organic and soft shaped. For the other approach I cut the surface of the polystyrene and folded it along these cuts. To get a smooth surface on the outside I chose to do the cuts on the inside of the folds. Unfortunately the polystyrene broke on some points of the folds, so I had to use some putty to clean everything up. After sanding the edges, I did the first spray paint with primer. After everything is cured I will paint the whole holster in matte black. The inside gets lined in a soft black polyester felt, which I simply cut out using the drawing as a pattern.
