have a look at knitting needles you need to cut them in two then rejoin that way you will get the nose and the tapered back end
Good idea, Nigel!!!!!

When going around car boot sales always keep an eye open for these smaller knitting needles,snap them up as they only cost a few pence,and as Nigel says they really have some uses in modelling.
The older soft alloy ones can be filed and fashioned into useful model parts,dont forget as a modeller you should be akin to a magpie,stash away anything that has a useful shape to it,one day you will use it.Comment

If you cut them in two and then rejoin them won't you end up with a knitting needle again?have a look at knitting needles you need to cut them in two then rejoin that way you will get the nose and the tapered back end

:smile11: Good point Richard i should of explained it a bit more lol " That is cut each needle in two then join the two tapered ends together" You just cut so far along the taper to match the nozzle you wantIf you cut them in two and then rejoin them won't you end up with a knitting needle again?
