Psiborg Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi all hope every one is enjoying the very fine weather we have at the moment . today i have got through the post some detailing bits for the station from ten commandments IMG_0836.JPG there is some litter bins , vending machines and station seats . can anyone help with tips or suggestion for forming the seats as i'm clueless at the moment any advice will be much appreciated thanks andi I thought the seats looked like they would be trouble so I took the easy (but expensive) way out and got the ready assembled, ready painted versions. I think you need to bend the brass around a pen or similar to get the curves. Hard to get right, but, easy to mess up! Good luck, Simon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
