Love that stand …and the build! Any gouge on bending the plastic tubing? Great presentation of that model.

Thanks Paul.
8mm acrylic rod. angled with a heat gun. Hold it horizontally - heat where you want the bend, as soon as gravity starts to show; manually bend it (wear gloves) and hold it a few seconds. It will turn rock solid after cooling down. Trick is not too much heat 🙂 Have fun
