Impressive work.
The material used for the cables looks very flexible.
Do you use pewter ?

Please be sure to see also Pete's article here:

He shares
"For the cables, I like to use either lead wire or wire wrap. Most, if not all fishing shops will carry lead wire. The lead wire comes in an assortment and individual spools from my local hobby shop but can also be bought at Bass Pro Shop and online fishing supply web sites. The lead wire comes in sizes .010, .015, .020, .025, .030 and .035. The wire-wrap wire is used in electronics and can be bought at any store selling electronic parts. The size of the wire-wrap wire is 30AWG."

Ken, I used very thin plastic stock and in the curve areas, I used putty.
I need to get back to finishing this kit up, I put it away since I have been doing more review/builds for the sight and commission work.
