Hello!
I've been working on a 1:100 scale tugboat Pieter. It's gone pretty well, though I'm at the point in the model where I've done most of the paper elements, and the rest uses wire. The main mast is the main one, but there are a few other structures made entirely from wire.
I got some jewelry wire in the right sizes, but I haven't really figured out how to actually use it. I know how to straighten it pretty easily, but none of my paints stick to it, and the only glue I have that seems to work is a really thick super glue that's a huge pain to use for small details. It's also not appropriate for adhering paper parts to the wire.
So I'm here looking for some tips
Maybe other materials would work better; I'm pretty open to advice. I have some more detailed models in the list to do, and would like to use this Pieter model to practice these skills.
Thanks!
