Just found out about this vendor yesterday! Models use this amazing elsastic thread for cabling on biplanes, WWII aircraft, and ship modeling… though I am sure it has many other uses, as well. Found here, they look like a phenomenal resource.
Rig that thing with a full metal bullit!:-) 45m, (147 Feet)
Rig that thing with a full metal.......
Ok, its not a "full metal" bobbin-bullit which is about to hit your bench (Bcuz I do care for your safety :-) ) but it does have an impact!
Its so friggn easy to use! Check the vid all the way down.
It comes on one of those bobbins which are used on a sewing machine.
Why that?
Because I want to reduce cost as far as possible in order to be able to come up with the coolest price. Quality+smart+affordable=Uschi. Thats our mission. As usual.
The really big advantage of this material is that it will stretch, not break, if accidental pressure is applied to the rigging on the completed model.
It took me ages to find a reliable source for this product. Lots of samples have arrived, lots of them weren´t really good, lots of them were "nexted." One fine day and with the help of some very friendly people I had the pleasure to find exactly what I was after.
We now have 3 different sizes to choose from, which is:
Standard: 0,03mm
Fine: 0,02mm
Superfine: 0,01mm
->Standard is your trusty friend on your 32nd and 48th scale rigging.
->Fine is considerably thinner and the stuff that fits when it comes to control cables in the 32nd and 48th scale, for instance.
->Superfine is pretty much spider web and will look supercool on your 72nd scale project. Its like on the real thing: actually you wont notice a rigging before you are pretty close to the aircraft.
