Old Ford Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 thanks guys :) as for me explaining how i made the tap ,well thats a secret ben ;D. all i used was very small bit of piano wire about 12 mm long .then some small white pipe 2.5mm round 5 mm long. drill a hole right down through drilled a 1mm hole half way down . glued that to the wire so its half and half. then got some 2mm pipe about 5mm long , drilled a hole in the middle thats the handle. glue that to the top after rounding the ends a bit. then some more wire about 6mm long with a slight bend glued that in to the hole for the spout. for the pipe joint just used some outer wire caseing. fixed a small block of 3mm x 3mm plastic on the back to mount the tap . last sprayed and fixed in place. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
