Those pin vice drills are nice
Got this the other day 
That moment when you open evilbay just for a quick glance before the F1 starts and you find a model kit you've been after for years going for a price well under the 'normal' asking prices. Well it's just happened. I had clicked the buy-it-now icon before i even knew what i was doing. Slightly chuffed here.
Hi Mark,
That`s a cracking kit isn`t it?
.... I bought one myself a short while ago,to replace a truck that i`d dropped,in my ongoing "Tonight,Long Stick Goes Boom" Dio....https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/tonight-long-stick-goes-boom.36328/
I haven`t started it yet,but after looking at the sprues,i`m expecting good things:thumb2:,
Are you going to blog your build..... I,for one,will follow along if so!
Andy

Found this in wilco, tow cables maybe.
£1.50 and can hold a bend.

Good value, but you might have a bit of a job cutting through it!
Got an abundance of tools at work :thumb2: a hacksaw will do if you got a little vice to hold it.

I was thinking of all those occasions I’ve tried to use wire cutters and ended up with a Frankenstein frayed end!
Sidecutters - good quality ones will do the job, no problems, used to make all my own motorcycle cables when riding my custom bikes
Dremel mini-disc cutter - never fails, never frays - patience is a virtue though!

You beat me to it. This is the best way I found to cut steel wire cable, everything else frayed the ends. (I gave up on using steel cable for tow cables on models, though.)
Mail Man dropped off these Revell Classics of last week. Last year I finished out my collection of these now I’m buying doubles to build. These will be built.
Wing Nut!!..........now yer getting them half a dozen at a time??......Yer almost as bad as me, just bought three more trucks and two trailers off Evilbay yesterday and waiting for the close of an auction on a bus and two more trucks on Tuesday. Better stock up on glue and paint while we're at it Lee......think we're gonna need it. :tongue-out3::tongue-out2::tongue-out:

I'm with you on this Jakko, I think it's almost impossible to get the correct 'lay' of the cable even if you turn them yourself; in general I don't think metal cables sit naturally on the model unless CA is used at strategic points.
G
Twisted copper wire works well, but even then you generally have to glue them down in some places (or have more patience to bend them just right, I suppose).
Rick. Yes I was a slave to Sleezbay last week on the “ Wingys” but like you there’s more on the way then I’m done. Well you know the story done for a while.
