The ones you see I made using a builders chalk line,some 4mm heat shrink,super glue,a simple jig to stretch the lines taught,bamboo skewer and a thin wash or humbrol matt black to colour. if you make a jig to create consistent loops, superglue, then use heat shrink it looks spot on. stretch on your jig then add the cross lines with a dab of glue at each intersect Fri, 18 May 2012 06:41:16 GMT http://mdlbts.com/photogallery/view.php?gallery=1&goto=6448 http://mdlbts.com/forum/thread.php?thread=6628&goto=6631 Hi Tijn , I would use a 400 motor , it will give you better planing speed , and don't forget its you on the sticks .....Larry..
