In fact I use some techniques, my favorite is a monofilament rigid wire for suture, but in some cases I use nylon thread of fishing 004" thread, in next steps I show the rigging installation, like a struts is a complex job in this project.


In last night I made undercarriage leg, for made a representation of S40A, nothing special, the only difference I laminated the wheels with heavy cardboard and use the back of wheels from kit, lamination use in this case serve like a rigid support.

Pericles, would you be kind enough to post a picture of
the suture wire you referenced about rigging?

Hi Ray


Here the box...


In Brazil exist some sellers and fabricants, I buy in medical shops, or dentist shops, in general wire suture use in wide sutures, but today more in vet uses and in human in special cases ( like a suture of bones)...

Thanks for the info on the sutures.

Fine work on the beaching gear.

Sutures are available on Amazon (much to my surprise).Most are very inexpensive and for our purpose should be perfectly adequate.

On side note I have to look into possible upgrade of my First Aid course to include use of sutures.Can be very useful knowledge.
