Hi, gentlemen!
Now I’m resurrected after more than half a year without nothing done in 1/16 modeling.
A couple years ago I’ve bought partly built rc Kubel. I’ve ordered some African sprues and tires and started the build.
This evening I’ve made jerry can holders from the copper installation cable.

That looks very good Eddy

Are you saying you squashed the wire flat first?

Yep, that’s right

Wow you are talented man. Taking wire and flattening it to make the flat brackets wow

I thought you had, I applaud your patience

Have you made a jig with rollers?

Sorry, I’m not so good in English... what do You mean with «jig with rollers»?

To squash your copper wire, did you pass the wire between two ball bearings fixed to a plate with a smaller gap between the bearings than the wire size?

Amazing work Eddy. Nice to see you back at it.
