Hi Rob,

Did you get head phone wires with resin figures if not what did you use.

Thanks buddy for support 👌

If there was no headband, or the resin it was made off fell into pieces, I do cut them out of a very thin plastic card.
The wiring is made out of 1mm thick iron wire which you can get at a flower shop for example.
You also could use 1mm thick solder tin, which works great too. Besides that, the solder tin is very easy to bend in whatever you want it to be.
There is always a lot in and around the house you can use, you just have to look for it!

Hi Rob,

I managed to fina a company called model signs uk that sold 3m of 1mm diameter red wire which is perfect for headphones.

If you are a tight arse Jock like me. Old computer lead things work. And they come in pretty colours so have other uses.

Hi Rob,
I’ve prepped figures ready for assembly tried using 60 second superglue but it won’t stick figures together.
Can you recommend an adhesive.

Thank you

I use Bison super glue gel or Tesa superglue.
Overhere we have those cheap shops called Action, do not know if they exist in your area too?
I always get my glues from them, just because they‘re cheap!
The gel glue gives you a little extra time to move around with the parts before they stick together.
