Help wanted: How to model the harness a 4 mule limber
« on: 02 August 2014, 03:05:48 PM »
One of the projects for this year is a small Spanish force. I've got a Tiger Miniatures 4 mule limber but don't have much idea on where to put all the tack. Can anyone help?

You can use a very thin wire, cut in small pieces from the size needed and joint with a small amount of green stuff the diferent parts reinforcing with super glue.

If you have the patience you can beat with a hammer those parts to be flat instead of round.

Other option is a sheet of brass, cut several thin lines and glue or use green stuff.

Hope this is usefull.

Thanks for the advice, brass sheet sounds like the most durable option.

If you have any sprue of some kind of photohetchet transforming kit (for planes or tanks), that might be usefull.
It spare time and usually you get some thin lines.
