Thanks for this easy to follow video on rigging an aircraft. I'm retired now and coming back into modelling after about a 40 year break, I have a few 1/32 scale WW1 aircraft but have been put off by other tutorials because they all seem to involve making turnbuckles and eye-watering threading which has put me off giving it a try. This is the easiest way I've seen it done so now I'm going to give it a go. Cheers mate.

Very nice instructional video. I have no experience with EZ Line products. I will definitely try them. I am currently using a chemlon fiber. It is very strong and very fine, especially on smaller scales. Previously, I used a fiber pulled over the flame from the remaining plastic frames. But they were very fragile and often cracked.

Yeah, I had the same types of issues with stretched sprue. Sometimes I would come back the next day to see the wire laying on the table detached. I really wanted to rig a biplane and I heard EZ line would be the way to go for me. It’s just less hassle and gets the Job done. The fact it’s stretchable is what sets it apart for me.

Last time I bought a spool, I took a 12 x18 inch open top box, and stuck a mess of skewers down the corrogations. Wove the spool back and forth, then sprayed it with alclad (any aluminum paint will do). You will get some blanks spots where the line goes round the skewer but it's easy to touch up.

You can paint it with any kind of paint. I recommend priming it first. As to how many kits 1 string will do...that all depends on what you're rigging.

Good tutorial, I learned a lot. Would you know if EZ Line loses its elasticity or if it breaks over time? I’d really hate to have to re-do the rigging on my models every few years. Kind regards. 🙂
@joekmodels Жыл бұрын
The only issues I've ever had is when I've moved and having the lines break from that. I had some rigged for years without issue so I would lean towards no on that question. I also know that EZ line is a mainstay of people that do ships and have complex rigging and they use this regularly so I would imagine they wouldn't use it if there were those types of issues. Great question!

Hi Joe- thanks for the tutorial on e.z. Line! Pardon my ignorance- I use C-A glue varieties as you do- I’m about to try the ez line for first time on a New Model Build- practiced on an old painted model plane I use for testing methods- do you attach the ez line Before Painting or After painting? I know CA gases off and discoloration to acrylic paints- that I use. Would mean a touch up in most cases: which method do you use: before paint or after paint? Thank You- and have a great day-
