Bingo! I now expect you to try the wire/spring and heat shrink.... AND post a pic! Glad to have been of service! Anyway, years ago I tried wrapping the wire around... After the 100th attempt, with it unraveling, I tried this. I always look at anything for two purposes...project at hand and modeling stuff!

A typical BBC hose is around 2.5". I measured one of mine. Little bigger or smaller may not matter to the eye. You'd need a spring in the neighborhood of about 0.1". The smaller spring is under 0.1" and the larger one is slightly larger. The Internet can be your friend! Automotive assortments may have a 5/32” x 3 1/8”. This should work. Oh... if you use solder, do not use acid core. Use resin core!!!

Agree with solid copper wire.

Find a Spring the size you want, slip it into some heat shrink and watch the magic when you apply heat.

Lol! First car I ever drove was a Cortina!!!

Scale Production has been out for quite some time. My friend bought one almost 2 years ago. Tried getting one but no go. Bought Greg's. Not as complete, but I have what I need to make the model.

I still have most all my article cars. I donated my Yenko Camaro to Roy Sorensen for a benefit auction. The '68 and '69 GTOs were traded to a friend. Later, I got them back, with the '68 having white lettered tires vs. the redlines. It's a good thing they came home....the friend died and his brother put all his stuff on eBay. All the cars have held up well. A '69 Camaro resto that appeared in Scale Auto is 47 years old now, after the resto. When I look at them, I smile...then feel quite old!

Great job! Excellent subject!

Impressive score!

I recently did a column regarding my ‘55 Chevy interior. I was quite happy with it.

I bought his ‘73 Nova and I’m happy.

Diecast Zone, commonly known as the D4C. Good bunch of people.

I’ve had a few cans do this. Not just Testors, but Krylon.

Do I know you?

It would give me nightmares.... no way. Maybe with adult beverages. ... just maybe!

After years of therapy... you had to pick at that scab!

I did a little CSI work... actually found the button Tim was wearing! The year was 1995!!!! Well not “his” button but mine.

No date on the photo, but I surmise early ‘90’s. That Typhoon shirt was new!

Well... I guess I’m suspect! Mine is long gone!!! By the name tag, you know who I am. Rick Hanmore on my right and Tim Boyd on my left. ...good times... good friends!

I was looking for a pic of a couple of guys I worked with, when I came across this!

These are my only 2 Russian models...

Beautiful! My dad had the sport sedan. Green roof and interior. I’m looking to do this as a phantom SS, in my dad’s colors. Franklin Mint Chevelle bucket seats and console fit nicely!

Otlichno! Ljubliu eto! ....hope this is correct and I didn’t congratulate you on anyone’s pregnancy, instead! Lol!

Just a comment on your pics....outstanding!

I used Auto Air when I taught airbrush classes at Eastwood. I tried them on my own projects and really like them. They could be cleared with urethane easily. I was able to do effects I couldn't do previously. Looking at the transparent black for tinting. A rule of thumb I follow is to use the same brand thinners or reducers, where possible. Results have always been more than acceptable! Universal thinners and reducers are OK, but may not give you the best results. Here is a welding helmet I painted... it's paint and superglue.
