Copperwire for armatures UK?

[boyzie]

Wheres the best place to get this on the highstreet in the uk?

What size is best?

How much should I be paying?

Thanks

I would say your average hardware shop.

Diameter depends on your intended use.

Prices vary.

I got some from a HobbyCraft superstore; I\'d actually had loads of trouble finding it in Hardware stores (and we have one of those old traditional ones with old guys, that sell all sorts of rubbish) . The wire I got cost about £4, and there\'s enough for a lifetime, and was in the flower arranging part of the store.

None of the hardware stores have any near me

will try a craft store.

Just want to have ago at 28-35mm average human shape

Wanted a ball park figure on price

£4 sounds good for a life time supply, thanks ORB

You want wire you say?......
Wires
that enough for you

 

[mickc22]

hmm the tight knitted wire is new (well I haven\'t been for a whils still using the roll I got over a year ago)
I\'m thinking \'chainmail\' anyone else?

 

[angus147258]

wow. That stuff does look great for chainmail.
Do you think it would be too big? Maybe it would work for 54mm minis?

Dunno Jake, never seen it before, they didn\'t have it the last time I ordered my wire
