I feel like a cobbler. Small brads driven into the edge of the board at every other 3/32" mark.

Defaced the fine looking board with some lines: 3/32" on both faces.

Here's a close up of what I used for simulating the rigging and turnbuckles for the cockpit interior. I tied a small knot at the end of silver-colored thread being used as wiring, so as to keep the small tubing from slipping off. I then glued a tiny brass bread to the end of my (now) turnbuckle. Cut off the excess thread, leave the knot in place and glue the knot onto the framework, making sure that it lines up with the direction of the wiring.

Vertical supports were wood stained, glued into place. Turnbuckles were made from small brass tubing cut to size and a small bead was added to top. All glued into place.

The horizontal wooden support and the "brackets" glued in place. Not paying attention to the outside which no one will see. In deference to Don D, yep, everyone on this site will know!.. LoL

Then it was glued such that the painted glossy side was facing in towards the cockpit interior. I folded the edges on either side and left the center piece alone to simulate attachment to the vertical support

The paper was cut along the sides bracketing the vertical support. Punched a few "lightening" holes, and painted overall flat black. I made sure to paint along the edges to avoid the white paper showing through.
