Looking a top rate model Jakko.
Love those hook and eyes, that tested the hand when threading !

Thanks The initial plan was to drill holes into the turnbuckles, lengthwise that is, but they turned out to be too thin for that. Then I remembered those Albion Alloys very thin tubes I bought some time ago. And yes, threading was indeed fun, for a given definition of “fun”. My hands shake a little when trying to do fine work like that — though luckily, it’s gotten better since last year or so, but it’s still, they didn’t used to do that at all before Bracing one of the fingers holding the tweezers against one of the fingers holding the turnbuckle got me there, though.
