I see and read a lot about photo-etch but not found much on watching someone cutting the stuff and gluing it in place. Anyone want to either do some basics on this or put some links to videos or tutorials you recommend please?
Cheers
Jim

I found an alternative to the large bender NZ uses at a site called The Small Shop http://thesmallshop.com/index.php?main_ ... ex&cPath=2
When you see NZ use the curving tool, cutting it in half comes to mind... half price, £25 a piece?
