Here I am adding the sewing thread for the frame support wires.
I don't know if it'll actually add anything for the strength. Right now it's all just stuck down with drops of glue. But I think the ring might be strong enough by itself. Especially after I attach them together with the 32 stringers.
I also bought another 9 sticks, all the ones my local hobby shop owns, but I gave him a heads-up that I'm gonna be looking for upto 90 more sticks in a few months.
But he did say he didn't carry silver tissue. I'm really hoping to just use silver tissue and a very light doping rather than having to paint this model.
Maybe I'll check on-line for silver tissue?
I should be ready to start the next ring tonight.
Cheers,
John Gay
