After receiving a email from one of my subscribers (thanks Jason!) asking how I make my custom braided lines and joints, I thought it would be best answered by making a Tips & Tricks video.
If you guys have ways you set your braided lines ect. please let us know in the comments section...we would love to hear from you!
Anyway hope this video helps...cheers Mark

Thanks for the great video. This is a much easier method than the multi-piece units. Which means I will actually do it!

I'm just in the mental state of working up to do this for the very first time. Your video has been very very helpful and extremely timely. As someone else remarked, please do a video on painting the fittings. Thank you.

Hi Rich...Thanks for your comment...For sure a "How to paint anodized metal" is in the works...Good luck with your build...you will definitely need that mental state that's for sure!!! LOL ...cheers Mark

Thanks Mike, very helpfull, especially using the hot needle to stop the ends fraying. Per your previous recommendation I have beenbuying the Top Studio hose and joints from Spot Model in Spain. That was the only place that had the black braided lines I needed for the Ferrari 312T3 that I have just finished. Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave, Trust all is well on the (wet) west coast. Yes the needle trick works for me but I have many a burnt finger to show for it! I'm finding its getting very hard to get the products I am used to working with...there are alternatives but can be a little frustrating at times! Not getting Alclad paint comes to mind!...cheers Mark PS please send pics of your latest build...love to see...m

Great video! One suggestion I'd have is......Could you insert a small dia. piece of solder so it's not flat and would be easier to keep it routed where you wanted it?

Hello billyc3772...thank you for your comments, much appreciated...not sure what you are asking here...if you could rephrase the question I be happy to help...cheers Mark

What about leaving a bit of the sprue on the end of the fitting and drilling a hole big enough for that to fit inside of? Obviously, that would require enough space on your part (radiator in this video) to for the bigger hole but it seems like doing that might eliminate some steps and could make for a stronger connection.

@MKCAUTOMODELWORKS Месяц назад

Hi CKDezines...Yes that's a good point! Something I didn't mention in my video. For sure in some cases you can do with the standard fitting but I have found most of the time I do need to use the custom wire fitting to make things work...cheers Mark

Fantastic! I've been an aircraft modeler for most of my modeling life, but I've recently begun building more cars/trucks. I purchased some Detail Masters braided line and compression fittings but haven't tried to use them as yet. Really didn't know how to be honest. This is a great tutorial. I wonder if your Top Studio brand is available in the USA? Peace and love.

Hello TJ...Thanks for your comment...Always fun to change it up a bit I think...last year I did buy a wooden ship from Occre (great company service by the way)...never tried before but really love the look of those old sail ships. Only issue is I didn't factor the work involved in the rigging LOL!!! But my love has always been racing cars...Anyway, to answer your question, yes I'm sure you can get Top Studio stuff in the US. Here is the link to there dealers... www.topstudiohobby.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4 Anyway good luck with your build....cheers Mark

Can you do a video of the painting process for these fittings pls. And thanks for the tips about the line inside the braided line, I didn’t know that.

@MKCAUTOMODELWORKS Месяц назад

Hi Gerry, Thanks for your comment...yes that would be a good video to make for sure...cheers Mark

@xxavier5369 Месяц назад

Thank you for this video and great the tip of the needle, on the other hand or does that order your braid?

@MKCAUTOMODELWORKS Месяц назад

Hello xxavier5369...I'm not sure what your question is...but what I can add, that I didn't put in the video, is when you burn the end of the braided hose lines with the needle it does shrink a little. You need to compensate around half a centimeter for each end...cheers Mark
