Cheers Terry. I hadn't mentioned it during the thread, so I thought I'd do a bit of digging. I originally got the idea of Everard from Bob who built merchant ships on BM a few years ago but he didn't mention much except that it was an emblem. Further searching found this: https://www.benjidog.co.uk/allen/Everard Line.html

For the aerial radio wires I would have used stretched plastic sprue, it's easy to make and use. With drops of cyanolite to simulate electrical insulators

But this is your project. 😜

I must admit Pascal that I wasn't particularly happy with my effort above and it took a while to get that. So, I tried the technique you suggested and although I managed to get the stretched sprue and it took ages to get the same sag in both wires to something I was happy with.

 

Calling this done.

Not 100% but I know that if I carry on, I'll get frustrated. As a first scratch build (minus 2 items) I'm very happy with it, time to move on.

Hello

And why not use a fishing line for antenna wires? The fishing line can be of different thickness and different colors. Unlike stretched plastic sprue, it is the same thickness along the entire length.

Good thinking but I seem to have lost my spool, maybe next time.
