RGL Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share #226 Posted July 10, 2019 Kevin, there are several variants of denier rigging, Infini, Uschi etc. you just need to get different diameters, some are so thin you can hardly see them. I pretty much use CA glue for everything, using different quick or medium depending on the task.

RGL Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share #239 Posted July 18, 2019 I thought I’d add a little bit of extra detail it took about 3 days, I wanted to perhaps do a seaplane that would act as a recovery or guard plane like they have helicopters, but the only one I really liked is about $100USD for a 1/350 plane that is not with it, so a fast patrol boat it is.
