You could use thin lead wire or decal depending what scale you need.

I tried making one by cutting small strips of white decal paper it's passable but oh the pain...and so time consuming.

This technique requires lots of practice. Draw out the pattern on masking tape. Cut the pattern out and mount it on the canopy. Lightly, and I mean lightly, trace the outline of the pattern with a new #11 blade in your knife handle. Peel off the tape.

I keep hearing about people using fuse wire. Where do you get it from?

Dirk I will see if I can get some and put it in the post to you.Dirkpitt289 wrote:I keep hearing about people using fuse wire. Where do you get it from?
In the UK we used to have fuse boxes in our house's that when the fuse blow you had to wrap the fuse wire between two electrical contacts, some houses still have them but newer houses now have circuit brakers instead.
Thay come on a small card with different amp rated wire wrapped around it.
