For those of us who have problems bending the wire on models. Lee Valley makes a wire bending tool {jig} that makes all of the bends we make. It is 8.50. Check it out at leevalley.com

While you are at it, order these sanders from Lee Valley, they work great.

Amazingly, I have them as attachments on the now discontinued Dremel detail sander. If you can find one, they are still around, I find it invaluable for certain sanding jobs. I am always wary, that the difference between sanding by hand and by tool is they both do the same thing, only you can get in trouble a lot faster with the machine. This hobby is definitely not foe the impatient.
