Working with photoetch can be fraught with all kinds of difficulties but there's no doubt, it's a great way to enhance your scale models.
As a result, sooner or later, you're going to be tempted to have a go. The problem is, once you remove these often tiny parts from their fret, handling them can be a minefield.
You'll have to bend quite complex shapes & profiles. Doing this cleanly & neatly without your parts pinging off into the ether is hard.
The Small Shop from America makes the Hold & Fold range of specialist tools precisely for this very task.
You'll find that they make using & bending photoetched brass detail sets much simpler. In this short video we show two, the small "Bug" & the 5.5inch Hold & Fold.
It's a quick review & "How To" guide - so watch it first & see if this is a tool you'll find useful.
The Hold & Fold range is available from The Small Shop & from Historex Agents.
Enjoy.
