Brothers, I call upon your collected wisdom!

 

I recently aquired a Caestus Assault Ram - one of my favorite Marine vehicles.

There is a lot of work to be done as there are a lot of parts that are bend.

 

Now I had my fair share of resin kits big and small and I know how to get parts back into shape but there are parts that I really have no clue how to do it.

The problem that I have is that there is a big resin block behind that won't be easily bend back into shape.

How do I approach this? How do I get this big block back into shape? Any suggestions?

Deadly hot boiling water bath. Worked for me.

Side-tracked myself from painting up my SoH by building a Mk2 and shoving a old style Mk2 head from Archie's Forge on him.

Must say that I prefer it and will be needing a fair few more....

Oh, I like that head - I might need them to replace the pointy MKIIIs

Red Warden does the old Mk3s as well, which you can also get from Archie's Forge (though that all depends on your location), and they look a hell of a lot better on the new Mk3 than the new kit's helmet.
