After two major failures, I finally found a way to make the turning part of the smoke pipe for the heating system. So here it goes:
Here is the first try:

But the result didn't turn out to the way I want it. The reason is that the part that i want to work on involves two different materials, epoxy putty and plastic, which makes it really difficult to work on. So back to the drawing board:

This time, I start with a metal rod, and cover up the rod with putty this time.

However, with the lack of measurement while working on it, another epic fail. So for the next time, I decided to use .5mm thick styrene sheet and cut them in to circles, connect them with the metal rod and fill up with putty between them.

Then use hobby knife to work around with it, and here we are:

Together with the power supply:

.... 8 seats... needs some sanding/sculpting work

And look what I got?!
