Kind of hard to explain.
Good luck with yours. I might have to start doing some model car building again someday when I have more time. Gotta get a lighted magnifying lens again before I start doing detailing like that again.

Yeah, it’s always cool to put things you don't use anymore to use. I know I have a Firebird I was in the process of turboing and made floor mats and a trunk/hatch area rug/mat out of an old wallet.
I have never ACTAULLY done wiring harnesses and kept them. I had a shop diorama not too long ago and I just put a bunch of spare wire together. Then had an engine lift next to it with the engine hanging out. Just making it look real, lol.
I know what you mean by explaining. That is why I say pictures do the best explaining, hahaha. It would be great to see some pics. of it. It sounds like it has LOADSSS of work into it.
I have to agree with the lit mag. len(s). I do not have one but I am SURE it would help tramediously.
