Lucas, those tow straps on the front of the Dingo's are cool, any ideas on what I could make them out of? Hmmmm. Good question! Dont know if that works, but maybe like that: >take a bit of florist wire >wrap some Tamiya tape or similar around it >Milliput/putty for more "substance" >cut to the desired length... >paint it Only a suggestion of course. |

Thanks for the tips and comments guys. It's hard to tell from the photos, are the straps flat or round?

Good question, well asked Jeff...answer is both....they are essentially sausage-like but flatten out under tension or when wrapped round something yer know? Couldn't be easy could it That gives me some ideas though, but I'll need to pick some stuff up tomorrow. |

Spent the last couple of nights messing about here and trying to finish this little bugger up. Came up with this for the Kinetic tow cable. Looks kinda sausage like   It's a little rough I think, but it'll work. Better next time. You can see I knocked the mirrors off in the process  |

Yeah, nothing can top a German Bratwurst. Especially those from Thuringia. Or is it supposed to be a Weisswurst from Bavaria? |

Very nice result Jeff - yer Dingo puppy looks superb and yer tow ropes look excellent and pretty much in scale I reckon 10/10 Thanks Dicky, that means a lot. I ended up using 1mm solder. I need to figure out a way to add some wrinkles. To the tow strap I mean |
