how do I tie the parachute men to the parachute cloth. I have a zip lock bag with the silk parachutes, plastic sticks, circles with a hole, and small pieces of string. Please help. I cant find anything on YouTube.
Hello Gary,
In my set the parachute men are already attached to the parachutes, (see image attached)
I believe the plastic sticks attach to the parachute and men, circles with a hole attach to the top of the parachute. (refer to the attached image) The string is used to attach the men to the model.I hope that helps. I will also post on the Facebook page where there are many experts in this.
Hi Gary.
Someone was selling kits to make the parachute men that came in plastic bags. Do you have on of those kits, or are you repairing some that fell apart? In either case, Michael Foster’s photo should help. The small pieces of string go through the shoulders. You might try small pieces of masking tape as fasteners and put wood glue over them to keep them from unwinding.Hello Gary,
There happens to be a new listing on eBay for “rvcoin” that makes reproduction parachutes. You could email the seller from the listing or purchase the 4 he has listed. If you visit his store you will also see 4 of the Red Parachutes for sale.
Hope that helps,
Michael D. Foster
