I'm coming to the conclusion that you submarine modeler types may be in need of some form of medication.  :P ;) ;D

I'm not sure, it's a lot of work for something that doesn't feel much stronger than the plastic. I know one thing for sure i need to buy some flux before i attempt it again.

It's a good thing i didn't try to do the wintergarden, i would of run out of rod and nerve ;)

I guess i'll mix up some vinegar and peroxide to etch the brass a bit before painting.

Great job on those railings!  It's an inspiration to see some soldered up so nicely!

Very well done OldNoob!
Question: where did you get the rings? any reference number? which diameter/caliber?

.8mm inside diameter and 1.3mm outside dia.   I found that packet at an old hobby store that was going out of business. I haven't been able to find this size anywhere locally these days.
But  HobbyLobby may carry it.  Part number JFC0g-1.5g

I have several rolls of corona wire left over from my copier repair days. Both gold and stanless ranging from 0.100mm to 0.070mm
Are these wires too thin?. I'm pretty sure the 0.07mm wire is too thin but the .1mm?
