I just make mine from fine brass rod soldered at the joint - once they're painted they look OK.

I'm with the black plasticard camp, that's what I use.... yet to get one right mind you... then for the parallel arms I fold a piece of brass in half and bend the loose ends over at 90 degrees... drill a hole in the cab to glue the tails in and then glue the wiper blade to the other end of the brass where it's bent over in half.... surely makes no sense to you but it does to me.... might be able to see it on the front of the 106... \
