1/25 scratchbuilt spark plug -- anybody make them?

[chepp]

I have some 0.040 hex-shaped polystyrene rod -- it scales up to 1". Did you make your own?

Here's what I want to replicate.

Yes, they’re pretty easy. Hex rod, round stock and paint.

I remember someone suggesting that you could create spark plugs in this fashion using round stock. They would glue a section of the round stock in the head much like you would do just using spark plug wires and boots to represent the spark plugs. Then attach the plug wires using the boots. I have tried it a few times and it seems to work well.

Erik, those plugs look really good. I've replaced my original photo with one showing a spark plug and different boots.

Yes, it’s the old AMT 1965 wagon kit with the straight six from the Trumpeter Nova.
