John,
Your method might be slow but the results look great. I love that '67 Formula Racer. Could also try wetting/steaming some lollipop sticks and working to shape. If they need to be thicker than lollipop stick, could t hen add layers of paper strips.

I shall try them both. I'm also hoping some of the rest of you will add your own techniques to this thread. Here is my take on the problem: This is my model of the 1967 BRM Formula 1 race car. It has twisty exhaust pipes. I cut out the paper pipes, with a bit of extra to hang on to. Then, using the ubiquitous toothpick, I laid a bead of good old white glue on both sides of each pipe. When it was dry (quite a while!) I added another layer. I kept doing this until it was round, then painted it, of course. I think Joe's method may be quicker! -- John Freeman Check us out at-- http://2oldkiters.smugmug.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
