TIP for the heat gun. 1. Use a heat gun, not a blow dryer
LOL
2. How do you thnk I got the balrog wings to curve in my WIP Deamon Prince(the one not painted).
3. Although you will heat up your finger half the time, keep the heat gun about 3" away from the mini at all times, and and use it in a left to right motion, until the tail starts to bend from gravity(it doesnt have to bend alot). Ive never had an issue so far. Also it depends on the size of your heat gun. I have a large one that you dont want any closer than4-5" and a small one with a directional nozzle that works great for 3". Always keep it moving, never stop and focus on one spot, thats when accidents happen.
