Another bowcaster joins the party! This was a fast build - took only a week to prep, paint, and put it all together...

Nice! What did you use for the coiled cable if you don't mind me asking? I made one myself and used a CB radio one, but not sure if I like it.

Thanks! For the larger coil that goes around the rear of the scope/barrel mount I used an old audio component coiled cord:

The smaller coiled cord that connects to the right-hand greeblie plate is still in work actually. I have one that came with my bag of greeblies and it has the right cord and coil diameters (smaller than the rear coil) but this one is a bit too short and 'plasticy stiff' for my taste so I've got a couple of eBay vintage cords coming soon and I'll update here when I find something that works.

Markus et al. are probably good resources for what the actual vintage cords were on the screen-used prop...
