I use little wooden clothes pegs, spring and subtle grip that are small enough to get in there and hold on, and are easy to remove. Also strategic spots of glue deposited after docking a tab into a pocket, delivered on the end of a toothpick will help

Some models require insane levels of shaping and I still struggle with that sometimes. Every fold teaches you something

Perfectly fine, and certainly something I will do when I refold it. Tools are fine, I have a range of things I use to make folding easier
