Hello,i am building the American La France Eagle by Trumpeter.I want to add firehoses is there someone who have any tips on how to make them.
Flat shoe laces make a fair simulation of dry fire hose, especially white or light tan ones with a little weathering. You’re pretty much on your own for nozzles, though.

I agree. We had a member of C.A.M.S. at Littlerock who built several firetrucks and said that he always used shoe laces for the hoses.
Very good idea the laces!
Here is a photo I took at my model show I use to put on of a firetruck that the builder used Laces. I thought that it was a really cool effect. I am sorry, I connt remember the builder’s name.
