Argh. Thought I was done the shuttle and I could start making the moulds but there are some wires and such I still have to add. To the right of the nose section are some various samples of wire that I am trying out to get what I want. The top black wires are wire wrapping wire. The silver wires are the wire wrapping wires stripped of the insulation.

The top one is too thick. The middle one was stripped wire double backed on itself to try and make thing easier. The bottom two are the samples that seemed to work the best

Um In an attempt to trim the second set of wires they broke off. So I had to clean up the area and try again.

Several attempts to make the bend wires and glue them on failed. After a few failed attempts I stopped taking photos and wanted to finish the job before taking photos
