Thanks guys, do you have any idea what the diameter of the wire you are using? Like I say, what I have seems a little large at .022". It may be that I need more practice.

jehold-I'm covering it in Monokote, I have a picture of a Geiseke Nobler from a book that I might somewhat duplicate the trim scheme, might try some carved wheel pants also. Oh yea, it's a Brodak Nobler, I left off some words from my previous post.

Thanks
David
