| Nice job! (I'm too scared to try stretching sprue! I just pretend wire is there.  )

| You have to try to do it.  Imagination you can use for something different.

| Njaco its very Easy to do and once you get some experience you can stretch sprue to the thicness you might need for some extra details instead of bying plastic rod. |

| well usually i find nice straight lengths of plastic sprue from what ever kit i might be building at the time usually grey plastic like tamiya or Hasegaws kits. i have used some clear from canopy prues too! have them long enough not to burn fingers on candle flame!  |

| I know the method.It is really good one.Especially for bigger scale models. I use strands I got from my wife's old tights.

| Yea its true,but these from tights are always thin and easy glued.Like for my old Spitfire Mk.IIa of 1:72 scale.

| It would be better if I wouldn't have painted the "wire" at all.Now I know about it and I use black or dark grey only.There are also in graphit colour available what gives them a metal tonality.
