Any of you guys got an idea of how to make the little balls that go on top of the crew safety rail uprights in 1/96th scale? The upright piece is just a smidgeon over 1/2" high, so the ball needs to be pretty small.

I did think of making them out of little tiny balls of milliput and using those...any further ideas?

Cheers,

Rich

find your local craft shop, or a bead making suppliues place....

 my daughter makes bead necklaces things, these include tiny little spherical beads... and i mean tiny  !- they may just do the job

Now that's a good idea Guy, I may have to ask you if I can beg a couple of those. 
Malc (Reade Models) is sending me some pre-formed railing stanchions which I'll have to chop about some, so with a couple of your daughter's beads and a couple of Malc's stanchions I should be able to get something sorted.

Tell your daughter I think she's lovely.....(I know when to creep!)

For future reference, have a look in Squires Arts & Crafts catalogue beads of all shapes and sizes.
