I have followed your blog for several years and you must be aware that your modelling is the benchmark for many of we mere mortals, particularly because you strive to achieve such prototypical accuracy and realism. So here goes (gulp), your wires are too straight and taut. They never look like that in reality. Apart from the effect of gravity, copper wires are deliberately left with a sag to allow for contraction in cold temperatures. Sorry, not intended to offend but I think I know how you value authenticity.<br /><br />Best regards, Pete CoombesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457325741816665485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-81930948119826292942013-11-22T16:47:20.367+11:002013-11-22T16:47:20.367+11:00Brett
