Greetings from Australia!

Somewhere on the net is a site showing how to make the turnbuckles on a biplanes rigging. The one I saw used twisted copper wire. Does anyone know the address of any sites of this type?

Thankyou

Thanks for that, Killercurt.

I’ve also found this article at ipmsstockholm.org:

check out the latest issue of the GSM 2005. ( if not that one it might be in april fsm)it has the cover with “60 dioramas” or something like that, and it has a great closeup picture of a bipe w/ turnbuckels, a little different style. i made a few like that out of 3/32 brass tube and a dremel w/ the smallest engraving bit. i also experimented w/ the same tube but i flattened the ends and drilled holes in those flat areas. hope this helps.
