Suppose the big question(s) are , how much? and from where ?

 

[Guest]

The bending at the moment is on CNC machines, the price will not be high, I will know as soon as it is ready.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Could be interesting, depending on price.

Looks a good tool bug price will depend on the amount of sales

Gentlemen, I am interested in your opinion on; Design and color, is it good?

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Difficult to say about the design without using it. It looks ok, but if you want one tested let me know.

 

[jameshoughton1997!!!!]

Deffo intrested if its a resonable price

 

[col68]

If the price is reasonable I'd be intrested

Hi there I think the design is a sound one and yes neutral colours would be advantage to see the photo etch piece etc, but the price will determine its success in production and cost IMHO

The benters went to anodize, the colors would be darker.

You have quite a bit of competition that is already established in the market like small Shop, rp toolz, trumpeter that start at less than £20, how will your stand out?

I'm modeller, this is my second bender.
Since the first I have built several models, everything that did not fit me, what bothered me was trying to improve so it was easy and quick to bend. It builds in three scales of 1:35, 1:48 and 1:72. Everything is based on experience and works. I do not know whether this is the best bender. I know for sure that built by modelers for modelers. After that, he holds the papers on his desk.

my work first bending tool "fanaberia"

 

[Mr Bowcat]

What does fanberia mean?

 

[PaulTRose]

What does fanberia mean?

It means latest fad or trend..........in polish

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Ahh, gotcha. ;:

Rafhart, I'd really like to see some of your builds. Care to post some pics?

 

[jameshoughton1997!!!!]

My opinion is that if this bending tool is around the same price as others and dose the same job and better us modelers should support a product like this from a fellow modeler because being in this kind of community helps us all with modling questions and tips so i think il deffo buy one because isnt that the point of fourums like this help and suport fellow modlers

 

[Guest]

thank you, as I said, first of all I'm modeller, built a bender because I missed some opportunities in other products. Below the dimensions and models I have built. the whole process of creating this bending lasted about six months. I built the models and bent the photo etched. That was a lot.
I find it hard to judge my own work, so I thank you very much for your feedback. Much to me they mean.

Fantasyic work

Anodizing went so well, unless it was dark enough to allow long work.
