Hi guys I'm an amateur when it comes to building my own models but there are so many cool Dawn of War characters I want to create as well as recreating some OOP named characters.

Here's an example my work so far.

At the moment I've yet to do a full model but I'm ramping up my urge to try and put in the effort and one of the things I need now is molds for wiring,bullet belts, and general tubing.

I don't know what source people are using for their tubing but I've seen some of it, and it looks pretty much like there's a commercial product available to do it, that I just don't know where to get it at.

If I have to make a mold myself that'll delay the process quite a bit as I'm not too familiar with mold making so just being able to purchase a mold kit for wiring and stuff would help a bunch.

Also I don't know what sort of plasticard and tubing to get I just know that I need some. If you have any familiarity with building out your own plasticard armor for orks that would help a lot, with finding the right thickness and diamater for rods.

You could use guitar string, but a this:

... works much better, as the cured greenstuff is far easier to cut and bend to shape.
