I'm researching sources for control lines for my 1/72 hansa brandenburg W29 and am reaching out for ideas...you folks have any ideas?

Just for future references, what would be good for 1/48 and 1/32 too?....

I'm surprised none of the guy's have replied to this yet . so I'll give it a go.

For 72 scale rigging you can use smoked thread or even better human hair !!!! Just have to find some one who has long hair , black would be the best but you can colour it with a black felt pen if push comes to shove .

I use smoked thread from 72 up to 32 scale . This works just fine for me and I like the scale thickness of it . You can get rigging thread from Roll Models . Fine copper or brass wire will also work just have a look around to see what you can find . Like every thing it all comes down to preference .

There are nylon fishingline as thin as 0.04 millimeter. That is the thinnest I have found and es equivilent to 2.88 millimeter. Perhaps you can get away with 0.06 millimeter which becomes 4.32 millimeter in 1/72.

In case you dont want to make your girlfriend bald.

Cheers

you can also use nylon thread from the stockings - but don't get caught by your girfriend/wife and don't tell her I teached you this!

Stockings !!!! You are a very brave man Roxter .

If you don't want the miss's to go blad you can use the hair from a wig .

Bah, you can always argue that the trashy looking stockings are in fashion.....

Or make quite an impression in the lingere boutique when shopping around for the stockings with the longest and thinnest threads.

Cheers

Thanks folks...I fiugured that @ 1" equals .013 in 1/72 scale{comments} I"d need something in the .003 range for scale 1/4" cable........
I'll go with the trhead thing since the wifes hair is very curly and now starting to turn grey{too..mine started 7 years ago when the daughter was born}.
