I agree with Peter, very nice job with the engine.

Hi all as I said opened a whole bag of worms, of course with no tank or seat on the wiring loom would be visible, advice please does this look convincing ( obviously there would be loads more wires really but I don't have any thinner wire to hand and I don't want the loom to get too thick)


I realise I need to add the copper connectors to the end of the wires, and I realise the wires should be wrapped in black insulating tape, also the loom would not be tied with string, this I purely to check if its worth using this method.[ATTACH]117393.IPB[/ATTACH]

Are these wires part of the kit Ken, or added by yourself? If so, are you going to have working lights on the model. You haven't mentioned anything about what the loom is for. If they are just cosmetic, it would look better if you use some much thinner telephone wires.

[Guest]

Not part of the kit just supposed to look like the wiring loom exposed as the tank and seat are off, your comment pretty much answers my question, unfortunately I don't have any thinner wires (they are telephone wires ) back to the drawing board, perhaps I will try cotton dipped in pva glue then painted, we will see.

I agree, they do look a bit too thick, maybe cotton would be better.

Ken....... The wires from a computer network cable are much thinner than telephone wire....... seven colours..... I have some at work we use. If you want some to try PM me your address and I can send you some...... We have some small black heatsink as well that will be ideal, and will look like "Loomwrap".

Will do that, thanks peter

This is looking fantastic, the engine is brilliant. I forgot to add this to my watch list when I first postedops: which I have done now

[Guest]

Nice workshop scene, love the chopper advertisement. In fact I have a 1/12 scale Revel Chopper Kit in my stash, which I will be doing over the winter months.

[Guest]

Got to say your doing a cracking job
