Biplane Guy, I 've been down the slope for decades (Used to be a plastic modeler). Example here ( a week of my life that I'll never get back) is of the rigging clevises for my Loening. Each clevis took 9 separate operations and three jigs to make. But it's FUN!!!

However, with the two strips acting as safety margins, I hand-painted the tubular strip of plastic glued in between. The results make for pretty convincing hinges.

The glossy strips of paper with the rivet decals were painted first, before glued onto the model. This is to control exactly what I'd like on the finished results. I could take a chance and hand-paint the strips, but I didn't want to risk it. Especially at my age of retirement.

Then I cut lengths of full round plastic strips to match the length of the glossy paper strips. As you can see, Evergreen Plastics can make them very small and thin. They also do this with half-round strips too. Those will be used as rigging between the wings.

To fabricate what appears to be hinges to hold the machine gun covers in place, I cut thin strips of glossy paper and used MicrtoMark's rivet decals.
