Hi Stuart,
For the fairing stand, I used Tamiya transparent plactic rods which you may simply bend it straight away. But the nature for the plastic rod tend to bend backward so I have to implant some little copper rods in between so the position can be fixed. Super glue also helped quite a lot here.
For the verticle rods, I used the normal tamiya plastic rod instead so it can stand still and straight. copper rods are also implanted in between to fix the position. afterall, I used little putty work to recreate the weldings.
But i after all this are done, i think the stand can actaully be better done with other materials. This stand is just strong enough to hold the fairing so I guess i will have to think of another design or use other material the next time similar stand is built.
Thanks and I am glad to do this little sharing!
