Day Fifteen

A while back I had plans here:

These tubes which house the ends of antennae in transport have to be modelled somehow. We have already knifed away the kit event that we suspect might somehow be related to the metal tubes in the photograph.
The closest I can come in terms of dimensions and drillability is this solder.
I cut off lengths and true the ends as best I can by putting them in my pinvice and running a file over. I want a starter mark right in the centre to drill and I am at the limit of my vision.
The solder is not regular and this is about as good as I can do.  I probably need another material. I have made many of these with the solder and I'm not happy with them.
