Strips with the string. I think that this is going to work.

OK, now the lines on the front of the board come into play. Using the Olfa cutter and straight-edge, I sliced the paper and string into 3/32" strips.

GLue applied and waiting for it to dry. It will all flatten out.

Thinned Titebond glue (didn't have any Elmers white glue) brushed over the thread and paper. Not to liberally!

Even though I struck out on my quest for Nitrate dope in SF, I did find this pure cotton 3/0 machine thread. It is supposed to absorb aliphatic glue better than other (rayon) threads.

Next, laid some 50# bond paper over the parchament. I think that next time I will use standard 20# paper. Can you see where I'm heading?

Covered the face of the board with parchament paper to prevent glue sticking to it.

I feel like a cobbler. Small brads driven into the edge of the board at every other 3/32" mark.

Defaced the fine looking board with some lines: 3/32" on both faces.

Here's a close up of what I used for simulating the rigging and turnbuckles for the cockpit interior. I tied a small knot at the end of silver-colored thread being used as wiring, so as to keep the small tubing from slipping off. I then glued a tiny brass bread to the end of my (now) turnbuckle. Cut off the excess thread, leave the knot in place and glue the knot onto the framework, making sure that it lines up with the direction of the wiring.
