Hi Xan,
It is looking great!  How do you do the turnbuckles in the middle of the line?  do you use a melted plastic tube from Qtips and thread the line through it? 
Thanks

Thank you !

How do you do the turnbuckles in the middle of the line?  do you use a melted plastic tube from Qtips and thread the line through it? 

fur the turne buckles , I use a part photoetched



and for the line, I used 0,8 mm fishline

Beautiful Parasol, Xan. I like its subtle air, from the CDL painting to the sublime rigging. A beauty to behold!

Xan,
Your build has been not only an education in building techniques but also in using and presenting reference! Beautifully done and like Des I am looking forward to your final presentation in the completed models section!

Xan, what a beautiful build!  I have enjoyed it so much, and have learned much along the way. Also, nice Byrds reference there at the end. That song is one of my all time favorites.
