Out2gtcha Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just as the topic suggests..............a very cool technique for simulating wiring bundles I had not thought of and might have to try. I would think it might be tough at first to get the thickness even, but the vid demo guy seemed to make it look easy, and I would think it would also have the advantage of not having to wrestle with stiff wire or super soft lead that still has to be bent.............and no glue needed as the wet Milliput acts as its own adhesive: Its a Squadron Tactics and Techniques vid: Nick32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Brian Thanks for the tip. I've seen the video a while back and always wanted to try it but never did. Going to give it a try Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to give it a try Peter Yeah me too Peter, but I totally forgot about it as Milliput doesn't usually click for me in this type of capacity, but I too am sure going to give it a try. Not fully sure how he made the wire bundle retainers, but I have to assume he made them the same way, just wrapping from the top as needed I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Really interesting technique. What material would we in the USA use instead of Milliput? Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawman56 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Really interesting technique. What material would we in the USA use instead of Milliput? Stephen Stephen, I have seen Milliput in many of my LHS. To include HobbyTown, so my guess is, (not knowing your geographical surroundings), that one or more o0f your LHS' would have it as well. If not, I just looked and both Sprue Brothers and Roll Models carry it. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian S. Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Milliput is usually available at Hobby Lobby, as stated before, but if you can;t get it, Aves Apoxie Sculpt would probably work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
