Obviously my package from BitzBarn has arrived, everything that was supposed to arrive did, The bitz themselves are trimmed off the sprue pretty well. Not cuts into the model or anything. All in all I'm pretty happy with my order from them. As soon as they get a tire in for my bike, I'll be making another order from them.
I started construction on my custom Space Marine Sniper Scout. I wanted to try one of them and make sure that I had ordered bitz that would work well together. I'll admit I could have done better on the legs that I chose. Had to do a bit of cutting and removing so that my scouts didn't look like they were wearing a skirt. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.
I think I'm going to buy some guitar string or something like that to give the bow a metallic looking bowstring after I paint it. Right now I'm waiting for the greenstuff Camo Cloak I made to full set so that I can prime him.
And finally, a quick painting update to the Attack Bike I've been working on. It's progressing along, still have a bit of touch up work to do on things but I think I could pretty easily knock that out in an evenin so long as I don't get distracted.
I would avoid piano wire and just use something cheap and flexible like fishing line. Keep in mind that a bow string would not appear metal nor would there be any specific need for you to make it so stiff. The line could be left bare and look natural that way.
