So I went to form the photoetched brass rudder hinges and promptly snapped them while bending. AL etched little bend points on the pieces only to have them snap off right at their scribed marks. Very disappointed! So...off I went to the hobby shop and bought some small sheets of brass so I could replicate the parts. Bending by hand isn't a precise as I'd like it. I have a modelling bending brake coming from Micro-Mark via Amazon due some time today so that should help. A learning experience. Posting some pictures for your perusal. If you have suggestions or ideas, please send them along!
