Gonna do that detail? here's something for you.

Hi Tankerbuilder

I found that old Ethernet computer connector cords are good souces of detailing wire, and have multiple strands in different colors for spark plug wires, fuel lines, brake lines, etc. I also agree that Hobby Lobby and similar stores have a good source of variable-sized and colored wires in their jewelry-making departments. Beats the old days of my youth trying to use Mom's red sewing thread for spark plug wires!

Hobby Lobby has a package of small scale wire in the Necklace section they are on spools they look a little smaller than 1 mm, and come in a variety of colours. My wife builds book nooks and we're constantly looking for things in miniature

 

Not only HL, but also Micheals, and just about every craft store I visit.

Het Rick;

     You don't have to go there for tests! If you or the Missus know a nurse, who works in one of those offices, you can probably get them that way. I am always curouis and when I see something like that I have to ask" What do you do with them when your done with them" If they tell me they throw them away I ask for them.That goes for Syringe tubes too, NOT THE Needles, Just the syringes.They make great plumbing lines on larger models and great lines on a tanker Deck!

I still have a couple gallon-sized ziplock bags filled with wire dating all the way back to the 'Radio Shack' era -- salvaged from every crapped-out electrical appliance and device that's come my way since my teens. Any wire, any size I need, I can usually find! 

Of course, the irony is...I pretty much use various tiny sizes of fishing lead wire or solder for most of those applications, now. Just so much easier to make it 'look real'....

AgCL is Silver Chloride

  AG/CI not sure about CI however AG is periodic for silver....a good conductor of electric signals.

    Great tip but I usually have more important things to think about in the moment than asking for disposable leads. Not that the thought doesn't come up long after the fact.

Well, TB...
In my heart I know you're right, but I would just rather stay away from those situations where you have to go someplace for "a few tests".

Best regards,
Rick
