- Second video with some tips & tricks. In this video I am showing how you can bend photo etch stairs. Just using a bending plier, tweezers and a bending tool. I am showing this on a 1/200 scale stair, but the same applies for 1/350 scale.
I hope that it will give you at least an insight into how I bend these stairs.
Thank you so much for posting this. When I first seen photo etch in my USS Indianapolis 1945 kit I was terrified of messing up on the photo etch but this really helps me out with that kit or any others.
Glad to hear that it was of help 😊
@@NorwegianModellingBench it really is especially for when I work on my Titanic in 1/200 scale with all the stairs and photo etch I have from the KA set.
@@Derek24fan Good luck, that is a great kit 👌
Thank you Kenneth, every little bit of information helps.
I am glad if it can help someone 😊
Thanks for sharing Kenneth always had a problem with stairs hopefully this will help .
My pleasure. Hope it can help you Paul :-)
Thank you Kenneth, I will admit at trying to do the steps first then the rails. A good example of making things difficult for myself. Excellent video
Thanks John :-) I guess that is a way to go as well, but I would be afraid of those steps falling off. As long as it works for you I guess ;-)
@@NorwegianModellingBench it was a total disaster!
@@johnbrewer6330 😞
Thak you so much for making this so much clearer
Glad I could help 😊
Nice little tutorial there, Something I do when painting before bending is also put a clear coat as an extra layer to protect the paint from scratching. Cheers 😄👍
That is a great tip! It has not been required so far, but I use my time adding metal primer and primer before paint, and that seems to be sufficient. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
Great how to video on bending PE. I do it exactly like you do it. I love all your videos. God has blessed you with a gift for modelling. Thank you Kenneth!
Thanks Jeremy, you are too kind 😊
good tutorial Kenneth, thanks for sharing, will come in handy very soon, also like Peters comment about clear coating
Thanks Ralph 😊 Yes a clear coat or some good priming does the trick if you paint the stairs before bending 👍
Very nice and helpful video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you, glad that you found it helpful :-)
Just wanted to say again how much I enjoy your videos ...I love the way you present you videos ..
I would like to ask if you have built or will be building the Prince Eugen ?
Where did you buy the ship the adjustable clamp ...the hull sits in please ?
Thank you very much Anthony 😊 No I haven’t built Prince Eugene, no plans, but who knows what will pop up in the future. Regarding the stand; you should look at my Stands video, they come from Andrew3D.net.
Thank you for this tutorial. Can you advise where you got the tweezers from?
No worries :-) They are Manwah Super Precise tweezers.
Thank you
Doesn’t the paint crack when you bend the P-E?
I bet it is the primer that he uses.
Check out the previous video on the 'Tools' he uses when managing photo etch. That Mr. (whatever - going to watch again) that seems to come in a bottle with a brush like the Tamiya Extra Thin cement looks awesome for what I am going to try. This will be my first use of photo etch. GLHF
@@rogerbogh3884 thanks!
As already pointed out, the trick is always in the prep. A good metal primer, then primer, then paint. I seldom experience any chipping.
