Making Rappelling Lines

THE SHORT VERSION

Four bent paperclips form a small grappling hook, with a jewellery-chain loop joining it to a rope made from twisted wire or thread. Wrapping the hook’s shank gives it a convincing bound construction. Once dry, black undercoat, brown rope and metallic hooks finish the piece. The lines can hang from the howdah to make the selected upgrade visible, with their length adjusted to the desired position along the beast’s flank.
