When we see all what's needed to make decent models, any tip or trick is good to know. I already ordered the steel rules, i've got the rest lying here and there. Thank you David, keep going. P.S. : I just made one saving arround 50€ to buy beers.

    Hi David, that is awesome, you are so creative and clever, thanks for sharing this idea and showing us. I enjoy your practical approach to modelling, and no one can argue with your results !! When you guys inspired me to get back into modeling a few years back, to me the most expensive materials is paint. Basic tools are pretty cheap these days. I was amazed that good small .2mm airbrushes were so cheap (I am using a $25 one!). I reuse a lot of household items, contact lens foil for straps, belts, etc. contact lens containers as paint or glue cups. and so on. Have a great day !!

I had looked into buying one of these parts benders but they are not cheap, and as my funds are severely restricted, I had put it on a list of "Things to get when I win the lottery !" Please make more video's like this, maybe 1 every month or every six weeks, where you can help those of us without limitless funds make the equipment we can't afford to buy. Maybe you could make an angled guillotine cutter next ? Anything that helps build the models, or organise the work station, or holds tools would be of great benefit. Thanks.
