thnx for the compliment
and the black inside the barbed hose, is just a rubber hose from an air supressed water spray that was damaged at my work and I was allowed to take it home.
because I was ESB syled, I only had 1 hose. at first at was even terribly inaccurate, the black hose with a wooden dowel init to connect it to my gauntlet.
then I finally got the barbed stuff, and I just pulled it over... well... just, that was a pain actually, but with hot/cold water and some soap it slit over very well.
the other 2 that I added recently because I'm goin to ROTJ is something else.
It's also black rubber tubing but I got them from some place else.
if you look at the previous pictures you can see I used the end piece of a flexible pipe that's used for allowing water to go through your tap in the sink. As I sawed the connection piece off, you could pull the braided iron wire off, and all you had left was a normal flexible black ruber pipe, very simmilair to the one allready in the first hose.
it's not really accurate, but because I wanted the other 2 hoses to look simmilair to the one I allready had, I pulled the transparant braided hose over the now to the gauntlet attached connection piece I had sawed off earlier and there it was.
3 braided hoses, firmly attached with a black rubber pipe inside them.
here's a pic showing early stages that it was just one black hose. never left.
