ALL WIRED UP Antennas, small gun barrels, flagstaffs and other fine details look clumsy on plastic models. Substitute thin wire to make your project look better. Beading or jewelry wire works well. Find it in craft stores. This wire comes in gauges from 22 (the size of a pencil lead) to 32 (hair). Snip it with cutting pliers or notch it with a metal file, and flex until it breaks at the notch. Attach with glue or epoxy. For a stronger fit, drill a small hole where the wire sits, put glue in the hole and push in the end of the wire.
craft wire actually comes in larger gauges, too, and a number of cool colors
