hi Lance! beautiful work indeed!
I added a copper wire eyelet to the brooms, but twisting the wire to make the eyelet itself it just cut throught the plastic.... how did you do that? how did you attach the turnbuckles there?
thank you
ciao

Martin, Chris, and Edo,
Many Thanks, and I'll keep notes Chris. It's real easy to lose track for certain, and I have to keep going back to the references constantly.
Edo,
I used the "lugs" already moulded onto the tail booms rather then use eyelets there. As you can see in the following photo they are more then strong and large enough for the purpose and, in fact, I easily got second runs of line through some of them when required. all except the crossed lines in the bay closest to the main nacelle are easy line as it's virtually impossible to use mono without warping the booms. It's a very slow process but not difficult. I did the cross rigging of the lines in each individual tail boom "bay" first, then the lines between the two sides of the boom or lattice assembly next. The other photos following serve as the next update; the rigging of the lattice tail assembly is now complete.
Next step on the main structure is the myriad of flight control cables. Prior I'll be completing the Lewis Gun (Gas Patch version) and adding a few final touch ups to the landing gear assembly.
Cheers,
Lance
