That XY chain is excellent stuff

Time again to bash on with King George IV, today I got quite a bit of railing done, taking shape quite nicely. 

 

 

 

 

Thought about adding a bit extra to the hose reel.

 

 

I've nicked this fine bit of copper coil from a old robot from my workplace. It's so small I thought I'd make use of it in my modeling. Maybe it will be good for rigging in the future too.

 

 

I've wrapped this coil onto a length of copper wire, I realised this would be a lot easier and faster for just cutting the length to size for other reels too.

 

 

 

After a good few wraps I've cut the length of wire to size to fit the hose reel. Quite happy with the end result, still got a ton more to do! Thanks for looking.

I always find cable reels an absolute pain. You could use the centre of the kit ones (trim the edges) then put brass on them
