Made these out of some ribbon from a craft store and some wire bent into shape with some pliers. Then use glue and thread to finish it off

Also made an aerial I used the below parts

And here they are together

I then glued the ball end and joint together and began to wrap a wire around the screw

For the top, I folded the wire back over on itself

Then got some heat shrink tubing and a small ball bearing. I widened one end of the heat shrink and placed the ball bearing inside

Then place it over the top of the wire and heat and mould into the correct spot

And a sand ladder made from a strip of aluminium with holes drilled. Then brushed over with a dremel

Re: Scale Bits - strap, cb antenna and more
 

Great looking straps and Antenna.

I used the Axial Stock antenna mount, Stock Plastic Antenna tube and,
a ball point Pen spring and vacuum tub cap.

I like your idea a bit better.. :D

Re: Scale Bits - strap, cb antenna and more
 

Oh cool. I think the stock antenna tube is a bit too thick

Re: Scale Bits - strap, cb antenna and more
 

I have a Firestick antenna (fiberglass antenna with a wire wrap than shrink wrapped)
so it is a bit bigger than a just a wire antenna..

Re: Scale Bits - strap, cb antenna and more
 

I'm digging that strap, what size ribbon did you use? Your antenna is awesome too!

Re: Scale Bits - strap, cb antenna and more
 

That thicker material would be great for a hf radio aerial.

The ribbon is 6.5mm

Had a go at a different style tie down strap

And a winch anchor. It's rough but I'm relatively happy with it. Might paint it eventually.

This is fabulous craft work; the metal buckles and hooks, the X stitch and everything.

Been looking for miniature cloth strapping like this and have been coming up short.
