What is the best method for stringing biplane rigging. I generally build in 1/72 scale and want to attempt some biplanes, but really have no idea how to go about this.
In a similar vein, has anyone ever built the rigging for ships (not sialing, but modern - WWI, WWII or modern).
As a starting point I thought of using fine fishing line and CA glue. If possible I wanted to put the upper and lower wings together, less the outer faces of the wings. That way I could glue the rigging at a point not visible from the outside, and have nice tight rigging. The down side is that the wing assembly has to be put together fairly early in the process.
How have people approached this issue?
