I'd think it would be better to be too small than too big, would look more to scale. Keep at it, you'll knock it out.

I like the Gaspatch turnbuckles but I use 1/48 on my 1/32 aircraft. It looks more in scale.
Hope there is something that helps you in this.

I have to agree with most everyone here...I think the buckles look great. :good:
I'm quite sure I could not work on them without driving myself insane... :gogo
 
I like the ultra thin wire.

Does not kink up. I've threaded the eyelets, twisted around a couple of times and it's tied. Yes you can tie it.

My biggest issue was keeping tension till I tied it.

I'm moving forward with this wire solution. Thanks Dr. John, for the suggestion. (y)

Now if I can only figure out a REAL turnbuckle. :facepalm
 
I'm back on the fishing line..The wire is nice, I can see using it in the Eindecker for actual support but I just can't get it tight enough, too much sag. Short of an actual turn buckle I can't make this work. At least with the fishing line I can heat up something and it'll shrink a bit.

Gotta get the mojo working...just drained. Afraid i'll have nothing to show on the Year End thread. :bang head
