Well I think I went in to the Freeman at least once before this appointment but this on sticks in my mind massively. It was pretty scary really although I was absolutely fine with it, as it turned out. The process lasts 3 days and starts with an appointment to make a plaster cast model of the back of your head. It takes about 15 minutes and involves grease, rubber and warm plaster of Paris strips. The technician makes you sit in a chair and had obviously done lots of these. He made a possibly traumatic experience quite good fun, and I was grateful for that.

| Back shell setting |
After the cast is set the technician pulls it of fairly forcibly and that is it for the day, apart from a good clean down. They busy away for the rest of the day make a positive from this negative cast from which they produce a heat shrink style back shell for your head. That was the easy bit!
