How to bend PE parts

Guys thanks for the responses.

About the bender, I am watching this video here, this chap is bending all PEs by hand, and these are a 1/700 ship. It's possible ! And crazy !
I have received my small bender today, the quality of the constructions looks quite good I think.

I do the same for my 1/700 ships. All you need is a sharp or flat nosed tweezer. Works faster then the bending tool. I think its only useful for large pieces but for that I use my steel ruler and plastic rods. I've seen this guys work uo close first hand when he came down to KL.

Cheers,
Richard

No idea and never got the chance to ask him. One thing though, he only concentrates on ships and has no distraction like some of us playing around with different genres. :smiling6:
