[WWI] Scale rigging color?

[Jim Landon]

My answer to almost any model question is: study photographs, then study more photographs, then study even more photographs. (See attached photo) Even though rigging is in fact made from steel, it often looks black or dark gray in photos. I think it's twisted rather than woven. If you only have bronze or black to choose from, black would be WAY WAY better than bronze.  Natural steel or gray would be best if you can find some. Just avoid anything that has any color to it other than the silver to black range. I like to use music wire on my models because it is real steel and I like it. I just bought some .005' music wire to rig my 1:48 Nieuport 11.
