How do you handle antennae on 15mm vehicles? * I put antennae on the models
* I leave the antennae off
etc. |

I usually put an antenna on a command vehicle (platoon leader), or one on each vehicle and two on a command vehicle.

Nylon brush bristle works great. Drill a small hole and insert the bristle with a drop of super glue on it. Does not break, lasts forever and a single brush will last a lifetime. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

I don't put them on usually. |

Piano wire. Never bends or breaks, and does d2 impaling damage. |

I am a fan of monofilament fishing line. Drill a little hole, a drop of super glue, stick a piece in. Cut to desired length. Looks pretty good even if you don't paint it. It doesn't break (you can pick up the whole model by the antenna usually). A small spool seems like it will last a lifetime. |

I use the bristles from a paint brush (house painting size). |

Sounds weird, but cat whiskers that have been shed. Paint them black and they never break. Cheap, too. |

I even do this technique with my 6mm (1:285) command vehicles. Jim |

Even back in the 1980s, I used the black or clear hair brush bristles for my tanks and Battletech mechs. |

Coiled guitar string could add an even more sci-fi feel. |
