Brief Description:  Misc parts + turtle deck formers

Worked on miscellaneous items tonight:

- Bent some of the fuselage pieces (photo #1). Unfortunately I bent one of them (F07-07 R) in the wrong direction (the one on the left), so I had to remake the piece (the one to its right). I got the bend in the LEFT piece correct.

- I had previously made all the turtle deck formers, but has not bent the flanges. I received a set of former blocks (for bending the flanges) from someone early in my building process, but as it turns out NONE of them were made correctly, so I have none to use. Therefore I simply used the edge of my work table with a plastic hammer to bend the straight flanges, and used seaming pliers and regular pliers, along with my fluting pliers, to manually bend the curved turtle deck formers #4 (photo #2).
