2qwik4u Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah, and the larger guitar strings that have a wound outer layer like a spring look good as the lower springy section of military whip antennas. I recently used some of the .008 stuff on my Imperial Probe Droid build. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I plucked a bristle out of a 2" paint brush before I used it to paint parts of the house; I colored it with a silver paint pen, but it could have been left black if that was appropriate for the model. Best part is that it can take some punishment without bending out of shape or snapping off. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
