Gern I know exactly what you meen so what I did was cut the long pieces of rail to a more manegable leant hand I used a gel glue so you adjust the piece should you kneed too\ said:Now you know how to do the PE, how about a 'how to' for the rest of us? There are some videos around on bending and making stuff like cranes and masts, but how do you bend and fit those long handrail sections? I tried with a section just a couple of inches long on a U-boat and couldn't even get close to fitting it.Gern
Now the cranes were the worse part of this build for me but that is partly the fault of the instructions , they tell you to bend the crane body into shape then tell you to make the inside of the crane body and attach it I found it much easier to build the Inside first and attach it to the unbent crane body then fold the sides
The crane arm was pretty easy to bend into shape I struggled with the underneath
This doesn't cum as a box you just bend into shape ! It has a piece you fix underneath and try as I did I couldn't get it to fit properly so I left it off
Hope this has been of help
