Just saw this genius technique on Twitter:

Bomb o rings by Harold Smith, on Flickr
"We thank you, but this diversion is not true. Things never happened thus."

"Oh, but it IS true. Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are
the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot."

I've got a box of rings just like that.  I had never thought of doing this.

I have however used them to represent deflated airbags on car models.

I've got ZLLIONS of them too, left over from years of hydraulicing. Goodness knows where they are though.  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I've got this small supply of O-rings that I  er-ah " liberated " from the old instrumentation shop at work.

And a film can to put them in!

Never thought those would end up as a limited resource when I started saving them....

I also have these, leftovers from my film camera days 1083-2003. Since then, I've been digital.
