| biplane guy | 27-May-16 18:49 | | Are those the tubes and beads you were telling me about? What are they strung on? |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 27-May-16 19:10 | | Yep. The tubes are actually 1/16" diameter brass tubes available at any hobby store or Hobby Lobby. I simply used an old A-Xcti blade and rolled it back and forth until I cut it through. To use a pair of dice (wire cutters) would pinch the ends. Then I used the smallest beads at the ends to 'cap" off the tubes to simulate the turnbuckles. Incidentally, this is my plan to use throughout the rigging of the model. I used regular silver-colored thread found in most stores such as Wal Mart or any fabric store. I thought about painting the thread a bright chrome silver, but since this is on the underside of the plane, I decided to skip this step. However, I plan on painting the threads the chrome silver for the control rigging. The stationary rigging for the wings will use half-round thin strips of EverGreen plastic, also painted silver. |
