Tutorial - How To Make Tow Cables From Copper Wire

- Hi, guys! I had some spare time while waiting for paint to dry, so I thought I could do a little tutorial on how to make your own tow cables for tanks and so on. This is the easiest way to do them and there are more complicated solutions, but I only had a M7 Priest cable handy.
Everybody can do this as long as you've got the tools you need. The only advise I would give is to be careful with your hobby knives. Make sure you're working on a cutting mat to avoid slipping and sliding of the original tow cable while cutting off the eyes for further use.
Maybe you want to give this a try. If you do I'd be interested in how it worked for you. Have fun!

Now that was a simple but extremely realistic project that anyone can do no matter what their skill level is at! Great video my friend. Waiting on the next installment on the factory! Take care--Bob
+bob ahnert Thank you so much, Bob! Yes, that was the purpose of this video to show how simple it can be to make your own "after market" parts at almost no cost at all. The wire I use was rather "expensive": 1.69 € for 10 metres. Could get it at around 20% of that price and it lasts for many, many cables, hehehe. Take care. Jens
Great tutorial Jens, I'm always appreciative of people that take the time to show things like this. Added it to my tutorial playlist. These look great.
+Hinterland Customs Thanks a lot, Dustin. Glad if you want to give it a shot. :)
Thanks for sharing this Jens. Very much appreciated and very useful indeed
+Armour Empire Thank you very much, Mark. I did do the tutorial, 'cause nobody seems to know that way to model them cables anymore, hehehe! :)
Great tip on making cables, I made one before but your method seems to be better. Thank you for sharing.
+TANK MODELLER Paul Inge Not at all, Paul! Would you share your method, too? Some fellow modeler from Germany has one using the lids of coke bottles and he'll do a tutorial as well. The more ways of doing this you have to choose from the better, init? :) Jens
Fantastic tip Jens!!! Thanks for this
+Coen C You're most welcome, Michael. I enjoy sharing stuff. Glad if fellow modelers like to use it. :)
Great Tutorial Jens, an idea appplicable to all armor. I will definitely use it. Cheers
+Hussein El Kaissy Thanks a lot, Hussein. I'm just happy if you want to give it a try. :)
Nice work, Jens. The cable looks so neat and even. I think these tips will come in handy for all types of cables, not just tow cables :-) - Trevor
+Ostrich Longneck Thanks a bunch, Trevor. I'd be glad if many people use this. Saves them time, time, time and money. :)
Great Video Jens !!!
+Robert Smith Thanks a lot, Robert! :)
Excellent tutorial. I will definitely be giving this a go at some point.
+Simon Jones Thank you very much, Simon. Got another armour kit going? :)
+Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder not at the moment still need to finish the t-62a I have a sherman waiting to be started though.
Simon Jones That's cool, 'cause if you wanted to make your own tow cable for her, you'd have the exact same eyes to deal with. Only the Sherman cable isn't rolled up in most cases. :)
oh yeah, going to use this!!! great idea!!!! Thank you Jens :)
+Eric Brown Thanks a lot, Eric! Great, glad you like it! :)
Great idea, It came out really well. I will give this a try on the next tank for sure, thanks for sharing :)
+Halidon Thanks a lot! And you're welcome, my friend! :)
This is a great video Jens and thank you for taking the time to make such a super quality product. I shared this on Armorama so hopefully it will get some more views! Nicely done!
+TacticalJackalope Thanks a lot, Andy! Hope you can use it somehow. :) Err, Armorama? Would you give me the link, please. YT and ISM are the only modeling platforms I use so far. No harm done if I widened my spheres of interest, hehehe. :D

Very interesting tutorial! Thanks for sharing :)
+Felis Barcinonensis Thanks a bunch, Daniel, and you're most welcome. :)
Thanks Jens........ They do look a damn sight better than the moulded plastic cables, or the nylon string ones. Thanks for sharing.... Worth the wait Sir.. All the best. :O)
+Wappynutter Andy Thank you so much, Andy. If you try this method, I'd be interested in how it worked for you. And all the best to you, mate. :)

Go ahead on! You're welcome!
Danke 👍
+Bruder_Tack Da nich für! :)
Looks good! +++
+Scale Journal Thank you very much! :)
very helpful thx alot :P
Sieht gut aus, ich kenne das mit Deckeln von Cola Flaschen das geht auch super. Vielleicht zeige ich das auch mal
+De Lan Danke Dir! Ja, mach das mal, denn ich habe keine Vorstellung, wie das geht. Ich bin für jede neue Idee dankbar. :)
Thank! It’s quiet hard to find cable in 1/35 scale in Indonesia 🇮🇩
Thanks a lot for watching! I'm glad if you can use this. Greetings from Germany. :)
Your camera is off Centre; cannot see some of the key moments :(. But very important video, to learn from .
I wouldnt use a drill to make the hole, I would heaten up a needle or the rooe itself!
No, you wouldn't. At least not if you want to keep the plastic part in its original shape. :D Believe me, a hand vise and small drill bits are worth the money you spend on them. :)
Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder I know that it would change the shape, but have a hand vise and I have to look if I have such small drill bits...
