Geez, you just brought to mind I only have 10 more weeks for my TWO.........

 

[Bernhart]

Some paint on, going to try rigging this one

Wishing you all the positive waves you can take when you start to rig it

I think the best material to use is invisible thread. There is no perfect solution, but it is the best compromise really.

Wurger uses ladies pantyhose material, and some people use stretched sprue. Fine steel wire has been used, but I think is really hard to apply. Not a fan of using fishing line, its just too thick

Good luck!

 

[Wayne Little]

yeah, have fun with that....

 

[le_steph40]

For 1/48 scale I use copper wire 0,2 or 0,24mm

 

[Crimea_River]

That would scale to 10 mm in 1:1. Kinda thick.

 

[fubar57]

I bought some Uschi van Rosten rigging thread that I'm going to use in this round of GBs. It's for 1:72 rigging but I'm going to use it for 1:48 antenna

 

[Bernhart]

I have some fine fibre optic threads, gonna try to use

 

[parsifal]

Rigging is hard but not the hardest. I like your idea about optic fibre but perhaps test first

 

[Bernhart]

Some early rigging, fibre optic worked

Humm.. parsifal you should be able to remove the "Agree". Just check if you have the option "Remove rating" displayed now for the post and in the same place where the Like icon is usually. Click that and then you may re-rate the post with the like.
