Wow, impressive work. A question. What is the tool that you are using to bend the PE parts with and where can you find and buy it?

Lesley the Tool he's using is a version of an excellent tool called "ETCH-MATE" you can see it the top right hand corner of his last picture...
or look at this :-

They are a bit on the expensive side, about GBP £40 to GBP £50, depending on where you buy it, but in my opinion, well worth it!!!...
I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting, even when there's only a slightest chance.

Yes, I used some tool like this one. However, it may be much cheaper in other countries

A little progress. However, I found that the WHITE color on the decal is kinda slightly blue instead.

This is an EQ Training Lesson !
I could not believe what I have done. I have painted, washed, painted, washed and painted the body. So, I have painted it for 3 times. Although it is far from perfection, I really don't want to wash and paint it again ! It is kinda painful feeling to me.
By now, TURBO mode is on and hope to finish it within 1 more month.
