Bendy Hair Shapers

Very useful for modellers

This is not some sort of weird hairdressing tips section I have just posted but a little example of how products intended for one use can be used by modellers.

I picked up myself some Bendy Hair Shapers from eBay for few £’s ( I did get them for this purpose and not for any hair related issues just to set the record straight )

Taking the curler apart you will be left with the foam rubber tubing, flexible wire and two plastic stoppers. You can then cut the foam rubber tubing to size to fit over paintbrushes, sculpting tools and files.

I have found using the sculpting tools for an extended period of time became uncomfortable, the foam tubing helps to stop this and also does give a lot more grip

The other flip side to these is you are left with the flexible wire, this can be used for so many modelling projects. Given they are next to noting to pick up well worth a try, yes I know I did get mine in pink ( purely down to the fact they were he first set I came across on eBay) may not be to everyone’s taste but they can be got in other colours too think I have seen them in blue .

The other flip side to using the foam is makes finding the tools a little easier , if your work bench is much like mine ( little messy and un organised ) will save you a few minuets looking for your tools
