It’s The “Bug!”
By
Since we’re talking about Photo Etched and the bending and shaping of PE I should mention the “Bug.” As I have stated previously on this blog you don’t have to go out and purchase every tool there is for modeling to build great models. However, you might want to consider this one if you’re going to get serious about using PE regularly.
The “Bug” from The Small Shop is a tool I recommended to most modelers for this purpose. The folks at The Small Shop produced the original Hold and Fold which at the time was a revolutionary concept for modelers working with Photo Etched parts. The quality and precision of their tools is fantastic. Designed not only to be functional but versatile as well. Their products also have a Life Time Guarantee to be free of manufacturers defects.
Given the prices of Photo Etched parts and the sometimes limited access and availability to them, you don’t want to risk damaging them during shaping and assembly. The “Bug” as well as the other PE Work Stations from The Small Shop help eleviate that risk.
If your preferred retailer isn’t stocking these tools, ask them to. Be sure to check out The Small Shops special offer to IPMS members!
Stay tuned, shortly I will be reviewing The Small Shops PE Cut-Out Kit.
