Dealing with photo etched parts.

I'm working on a plastic boat kit of a missile patrol boat and there are several photo etched parts that I have no experience in dealing with. Looking for advice on how to remove the parts from the brass sheet without squishing it and what in the world would you use to make all those tiny little bends in the parts? I think I need a large magnifying glass to start with. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Norgale
