Hello friends,
since these crazy gutters are always on my mind, I am constantly pondering how I can master them ...

And then tonight during a cool wheat beer (Cheers!!!) I hit on an idea, that in my very first attempts to build such gutters I had used the smallest available Styrene half-pipe (Ø 3.0 mm), on the left in the image, which was however too big for my 1:160 scale and was quickly put aside.



But this half-pipe could at least be a suitable support for the final rounding of the gutters with the 1.5 mm core wire after the last groove in the set,



which would also be long enough for the longer gutter parts, what I will try as next.
