Struts, etc.

Trouble with some crappy struts, [not the first time either]

other than carving, sanding etc. Has anyone got a good method of creating new struts and landing gear legs etc?

- I've had limited success bending pop can metal around a pre-carved former
- evergreen is ok in some applications but too flimsy on longer runs


I thought about using a draw plate of some kind, found several jeweler's plates that would do the correct size profile, but am not sure it would work well with either evergreen or bamboo.

Any thoughts? has anyone got any input on the draw-plate?

-thanks
