Hey Shaun-
Nice work. One "trick" that I've found that works well is sticking regular
housewire *into* the technic flex tubing-- that way, one can shape it to
virtually any shape one wants and it holds. That way you could get a more
prototypical arch to the spines on your MOC.
As far as purity goes, I'm not sure how I'd categorize this particular
technique...
