Default Aluminium wire for modelling

Hi all

I just want to share a trick I developped when I found some pieces of electrical cable made of multiple aluminium wires; they were left behind by the electrician that changed my main board. Those wires are very easy to bend by hand or with a small plier. I use 20 gauge steel wire to keep them together. Both are reusable many times. I make my models that way; it's very easy to see if something is wrong and it can be reajusted on the spot before messing with steel! lol

Have a good time!
