Well guys, I managed to find itsy bitsy tiny beads to serve as bushings for the control horns of the flying surfaces. In my next picture, you can see the scale of my fingers to the control horn and the "bushes."

Here's the completed pulley assy for the left lower wing. The small "kinks" on the rigging lines will be hidden outside the boundaries of the triangular-shaped inspection window. Just hoping that all this detail stuff will even be noticed when peeking through the small window. We'll see. That's it for now.

If you zoom up and look closely, you can see the small brass ringlet just near the tip of the needle, that I'm trying to replicate as bushing for the control horns and rigging. Unless I hear any suggestions, I think I'll have to accept reality of scale and take a more simplistic route. Any ideas?

I'm also attempting to replicate the small control horns whose shape is unique to the S.E. 5. I'm using plastic cut from a discarded credit card. I'd like to use the small ringlets of .031" in dia (.8mm) as bushings for the rigging, but its getting awfully small and difficult to see, let alone trying to work with it. I'll upload another picture showing my hand for comparison.

Used a small pin vice to drill a small hole for the faux cable to go through. Although it'll be hidden at this point.

I epoxied the small pulley and cable to the wing's pulley support I set up previously

This shows the perspective of the small pulley detail I'm attempting to work into the wings

I purchased a small set of pulleys from BlueJacket. They've got lots of accessories that can be used in aircraft.

Compare this image with the previous one of the full scale aircraft. I'm trying to allow room for the additional wood gussets that run longitudinally along the cockpit stiffner. Finally, going to take a small break and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and best of health in the upcoming New Year.

Sorry if this seems repetitious but this is a 3/4 left view of a "typical" full scale S.E.5.
