I used to use a hair dryer but i do not recommend it. Best way is a small bowl of kettle boiled water and submerge the model in for a minute and then take out and re-shape it, leave it to dry. |

Hot, NOT boiling water. Boiling water for 2 seconds made the Beast of Gorgoroth's neck bendier than a bendy straw. |

Aye, hot tap water is sufficient. |

I used a REALLY hot lamp. It was extremely concentrated in where the heat was going (its like a superlamp) and it got it able to bend in 15-20 minutes for my great beast of gorgoroth. |

At least you don't have to hold it till it cools. Sadly  If it deformed once it will likely do it again. The larger models will most likely be ok for awhile.

I left my Vault Warden spearman submerged in steaming water for three minutes before taking it out and bending it in place. I then put it in cold water for another three minutes after. I was able to straighten my spear to its proper angle. When I bought the model, its spear was at a 45 degree angle. However, it seems like the spear is starting to bend back down. I'm scared to straighten it up again because I already started painting it.
