Hi Jim. I was fed up with using stretched sprue and Milliput so I looked around the bench room and thought I would give the soft solder wire a go. Then hey presto it worked. Its certainly a lot easier and cleaner then the other options. Many thanks for looking in and commenting. Have a nice time at Telford
That’s a brilliant idea. I use a thin roll of green stuff, but often had issues of inconsistency in size, when I flattened it out. I’ll be getting solder wire today, to finish work on a MaK Sea Pig. Thanks for sharing.
Good tutorial. Nice method, Steve. Well presented and shown. With thin wire it should be functioned in 1/72 too. Alternative to drawn thin plastic. Greetings, Joachim
That's the kinda of trick I like. Looks great and is very affordable. Outstanding job!!
I'm glad you like it Rick and I hope its a success for you. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
fantastic little tip 👍🏻 I usually use milliput but its not the cleanest method and you have to race against drying time, so really like this solution.
Hi Jason. I too used Milliput and stretched sprue but found this method easier, quicker and less messy. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
Milliput is pain. It alway curl. Not stick to plastic. Hate it.
That's a great video my friend and thank you so much for sharing !👍🏆🏅👋
My pleasure my friend. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
It's very nice idea. Exactly, the solder wire is soft and easy to process !!!
It certainly works well PM because of the wires softness. Thanks for looking in and commenting

Hi Joachim. I will certainly try it on the braille scale. It may be better on sunken seams. Thanks for looking in and commenting
Genius, I'm going to try this with Lead wire
Best of luck. Let me know how you get on. Happy modelling!
Awesome tutorial!!! Thanks for sharing
My pleasure Mike. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
Good idea Steven. And I think the solder can be used for many other things, than just as a weld. Let me think about it for a while. Greetings Jan
I'm sure it can Jan. Its a very versatile substance. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
Neat trick and technique Steve. The result is very realistic looking of a weld seam.
Cheers David. It comes out well once painted as well so a nice result all round. Thanks for looking in and commenting
Nice trick
Cheers Luther. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
Very cool thank you
My pleasure my friend. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
Do you use molding wire?
Or it is tin wire?
Its straight forward solder wire that I use when I solder PE parts together. Many thanks for looking in and commenting
@@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite Also thank you for your reply. I didn't find modeling wire so thin in my area so that's why I'm asking
Sowder!!
