Yes, styrene is so easy to use but not to file. I've been making the curved ends for the above wagon and it doesn't like to be filed or at least draw filed unless it's an old file that's being used.
I looked at the prices for the lime strips and thought them reasonable until I looked at the sheet! Think I'll stay with styrene.
Bending styrene strip, 4 x 3mm, isn't as easy as I imagined. Tried immersing in boiling water and even used the hair dryer while it was in the former but no doing. So, it's back to the drawing board and as Scarlett once said, Tomorrow's always another day. I think the strip is a bit on the heavy side but that's the size it needs to be. I was going to saw it from a 3mm sheet but the thought of trying to clean up the cut edges put me off that idea
