So I'v tried Grendels trick and it has made a difference, I'v been using a hair dryer on medium heat and it has regained some of its shape! Thanks Grendels & Ken!

Because of the warp issue sort of solved I started to glue the parts together with 30 min epoxy glue. While I was waiting for it to dry I started fiddling and thought my 36 LED engine was just plain stupid. So I had some flat top LED's laying around that I thought I'd experiment with.

I made a small box, covered it inside with kitchen foil and put five LED's into it. Heres the pic:

 

With the cover on:

I then thought about how I'm going to light inside the laser turrets (stilll dont know? ???). I didnt have any white flat top LED's so I sanded down some normal ones as shown how by Grendels earlier in this thread I believe.

Here it is just placed by hand a couple of mil behind the chair:

And finaly a BFG is done! This took me ages  :mad: for the life of me I cant get a nice sharp edge to the pipes/poles/rods whatever. If I use a cutter a get a chamfer that's no good because I cant slide a smaller piece in. If I use my mini drill with a saw bit in it rips at it rather than cuts.... ??? Anyway I'm pleased with the result just would like a cleaner and easier finish.
