| Getting closer by pushing the thread through the hole with a pair of tweezers..... |

| After the glue dried a few seconds later, I then bent over the opposite end of the stiff thread into the next hole. |

| I added a bit of cyano just above the hole and allowed it to flow through the thread via capillary action so as to minimize any chance of glue marks on the surface. |

| Okay, bear with me on this. I cut a small section of (now) stiffened thread that was painted silver through a hole that was drilled apprx twice the diameter of the thread. Any tighter, I would need a needle to help guide it through. I'm using the stiffness of the thread as its own needle point. |

| In stitching the fuselage sides, I decided to come up with an alternate route. This picture was posed to show how I added a small weight at the end of the thread, and painted the thread with spray paint. This does two things: it stiffens the thread and gives it a threaded cable appearance. |
