Couldn't post on your blog so sneaking a question in here; what did you use for the ariels? I've been after some for vehicles and radio ops guys for ages but didn't know what to get. Cheers!

I use the spare off cut of a draft excluder for an interior door. Basically it is black nylon bristles, about 2cm long. These super glue quite easily to models, especially if there is a small hole. I glue them on, then cut them to length once the glue has set - its much easier to get the length right this way round, rather than trying to cut them to length first.

Thanks, I couldn't see how to remove it from the page after I posted it and realised it was 'Entries Only'. I PM'd the guy. Sorry for the mis-post! Is there a way of deleting a post for future reference?

Another option is to use a cut bristle from a worn household hand brush it's what I have on my tanks and infantry, mounting them is a pain but well worth it

Old shaving brushes, if anyone uses such a thing any more, are also a good source of arials.
