PE

Its a ladder/steps.

Aidan. If you can could you post up the instruction sheet with the pictures on. If there is one.

I know how confusing some of that companies instructions can be, I have had a few from them and am getting used to the way he writes them...

Sorry all - it's ladders from a ww2 dispersal set by Flightpath. It's my first time with PE, hence the daft questions. Ian I'm fine so far with the instructions, thank you. I'm more keen to get to know how to work with PE. Yes the instructions are odd but reading 73 times makes them easier.

I'm not folding any PE yet - don't want to make a mess of it. I'm waiting for a bending system to come back in stock with John. I see there are Tamiya ones that look like pliers. Does anyone have any experience with them please?

Yes Aidan I have a short nose & long nose pair. They work well for simple pieces bending. I have had good results but this is on small pieces etc Anything large then I would think the machine is better than the pliers

Laurie - do I assume that you clamp the work into the pliers and then simply use your fingers to move the piece that sticks out? That's what would worry me - that is, making sure that the bend would be uniform. The machine seems to have a platic bit, with which you raise up the remaining bit.
