How to stretch Sprue's for Scale model Antennas

Hello and welcome to Scale Stuff, In this weeks quick tips video I am going to be showing you how to make scale model Ariel's / Antenna. Sprue stretching is a good little trick to have under your belt as this can be used to make loads of little fine details, it can also be used to make rigging for ships but I personally wouldn't have the patience for that.
To make Scale Ariel's and Antennas all you need is a few left over bits of sprue, A lighter and or a tea candle
hold the sprue over the flame until it starts to bend, then take it away from the flame and pull the two ends apart.
As with anything using fire be careful and never leave a source of ignition unattended.
