Fitting drainpipes the easy way.

Fitting drainpipes the easy way. Get yourself some Midelino Sticks.

They are a flower arrangers dream because the sticks can be twisted and curled to create what shape you want, even drainpipes.

Nice tip!

Only just noticed this - what diameter are they?

In 7mm scale I normally use Evergreen 80 or 100 though rod/square section strip, according to need. however, this stuff can cost up to 50p a strip, so always looking for alternatives.

A further tip for gutters - use plastic sheet or strip. Only need to file the outside edge round [or add quarter round section to the edge if really fussy]. Paint the top black and stick to your building's wall. Works a treat and nobody sees the dodge, especially if you file a couple of cm at the ends to a full gutter profile.
