Wire can be used for much of the iron work. An ANNEALED IRON WIRE
shapes easily and is stronger than brass. For size of wire keep in mind
the scale of your model. Needle'nose pliers are good for forming eyes,
flat-jaw pliers for forming sharp bends. Several illustrations of wire
formings usable on a model are shown in Fig. 61.
Great fun:
