| Scale Tow Strap
Here is a scale tow strap that I made. I need to get some different material that takes the die better to get a darker yellow

You might want to try salt and vinegar in your dye. Also a lot of heat helps too. Looks great though. I would run one on my scaler. |

Will it work to actually tow someone out? I just worked on one and took me 2 weeks to get it done. And it looks nowhere as good as that. Really scale also.

It should pull any model out, I pulled on the loops as hard as I could and had my kids pull on them and they held. I did 4 of them in about an hour. I will do some more with red thread and neater stitches. The real ones I have in the store are stitched with red on yellow.

those are some nice scale straps... the clevices arent really scale. to big for the application, that size can be found at any hardware store. |
