E Z line
I just stumbled on an abundant source of E z line, I hope this helps some of my modeling friends. If you have some old stretchy socks they are made with elastic thread. Well, I had an old pair and they had seen better days. I started pulling some of the threads and realized they acted as the expensive E-Z line. I wanted to see if I could use it to rig a biplane. It acted just as I expected. Try it and you will save some money. Hope this will help some of my modeling friends here at STORMO.

Re: E Z line
I’ve stopped using EZ line as many of my WW1 1/48 models saw the EZ line breaking down.

True! They do not appreciate the UV!

That And Coming Off Anchor Points!
February 2020 entered this Chorozny Modelbud Breda 25 in the last International Plastic Modelers Society Sacramento Silverwings contest before the COVID-19 Lockdown, two EZ Line anchor points came off likely costing me being the ALL SCALES (!!!) Biplane Category winner it going to a similar scale Czech FIAT CR.42 model judgmentally not as well finished nor having complicated wing wire rigging marking the forth time since the 1980s I'd lost out winning anything:
I'd likely built more cast resin late 1920s onwards Italian subject scale model kits in 1/72nd scale than most modelers, other than the True Gods Of Resin Modeling with unlimited time & budgets able to make flawless models still am satisfied with my builds well as with the vacuforms!!!
Re: E Z line
I only use EZline running antenna lines for aircraft . . . it takes seconds to rig and if it sags it takes seconds to replace. For more complex rigging I want to stick with fishing line.
