I'll have to try a knitting needle. I've already got a mouse pad and rolled the body tubes and SLA came out nicely, but those are a bit bigger pieces to work with. Would you recommend plastic or metal needles?

What can I say, I like a challenge. And I think if I can pull this off well, I can tackle anything. Or that's the theory at least.
I'd go with metal knitting needles. Get a variety of sizes. You can see from the photo how the tapered end will be what you need.

I tackled Bruno's Saturn 1B but enlarged it from 1/300 to 1/288th. I can't imagine doing it at your scale. Good luck and post photos!
