i received a Spartan Assault Tank today. Though being an awesome and solid (and heavy Oo) model, the lascannons are bend somewhere....i want to fix them. The manual says laying them in hot water for some time. I did, but it did not bend. Well it did but it did not last. So what should i do? Hotter water? How hot can it get before damaging the material?

I've never had it revert back to it's original shape before.

Just used this method on a model just an hour ago to realign 2 arms on 3 Hive Guards.

Hope this helps...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741555.page GMT Re:Bending Resin Parts...how?
I will try that, but cautiously ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741569.page GMT Bending Resin Parts...how?
But, basically, use very hot water (if you can touch it, its not too hot to damage it) and soak it.

Then bend it straight, and put it in cold water immediately to set it.

Some very bad bends might take a repeating of the process.

If you can't get it after that, contact fw - they are pretty good about replacements.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741629.page GMT Bending Resin Parts...how? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741685.page GMT Re:Bending Resin Parts...how? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533852/5741692.page GMT Re:Bending Resin Parts...how?
