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 Here's a coat hanger aerial I made out of the same wire as above. And a sand ladder made from a strip of aluminium with holes drilled. Then brushed over with a dremel A simple bracket made from some thin steel Photo of the thread added to tie down straps Last edited by THX_138; 08-29-2017 at 02:26 AM. |

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.. |

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

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

That thicker material would be great for a hf radio aerial. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

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. Last edited by THX_138; 04-14-2017 at 06:52 AM. |

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. |
