first, sorry for my english...
I buyed the pred infernus from forgeworld and you can see on the pic my problem. The plastic model is curved. Do you have any tips to make it flat or just fill green stuff under to hide the hole... ?

It might bend with a hair dryer.

Powerful hand drier. Just be careful. Really hot water might also do the trick.
That's one problem with FW resin - if it's bent it's hard to make it right without it slowly banding back after a while. I learned it the hard way with my Death Korps.

hot tap water should do... hairdryer might over do it a little leaving you with a bigger problem then you started off with...

leave the tap running hot water and hold your model under it untill you feel you can slightly move/warp your bit... they put it on a flat surface and let it cool

How bad is the curve, really? Does it prevent the turret from resting snugly on the mount? Or does it allow a little wobble? If it's that bad, call ForgeWorld. If not some hot water and some gap-filling glue could be the fix.

The curve is not that bad. I can live with it when I play. I see the turret goes up only when it goes to the side of the curve. I will try the hot water and if that doesnt work, I will fill the hole with green stuff and live with it.

ps: is not the first time i got some problems with the forgeworld model (i think the mail order's guy at forgeworld send the scrap around the world or they dont have qualtity testing), 75% of what I order had some flaw but learn how to resolve the problems. But this time, I want some help before making some mistake, thank guy, i will try the hot water tonight.
