How do you bend these with out breaking/snapping them? As you can guess from the question I couldn't.... Well one survived, mostly because I left it alone after snapping the first. I'm either stronger than I thought or they are very brittle, as with hardly any force (I thought) or bend it snapped. Looks like they're going to have to stay off the build, unless I can find some others somewhere...

they have an elongated hand rest which is used to swivel them on their posts, some of the ones supplied with the model have to be bent, and as pr said, it is usual to heat them first. k. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Doh!!! do I feel stupid, heating them first never occurred to me, obviously never had my brain switched on. Thanks for the advice will try on the one I have left, any way life is a learning process and I've learned - relearned something today... Thanks
