Always being afraid of rigging I tried the stretched sprue approach I was pretty happy with the results although on a 1/72 model one has to be sure not to make the stretched sprue too thick.
The only problem I ran into with this is the fact that after applying a base coat to paint The stretched sprue becomes brittle. While painting I kept knocking the stretched sprue loose. So after having a finished model I had to use super glue and go back and re-glue the rigging.
has anyone else tried this method?

Lufbery I will have to try the speaker wire rigging sounds great and fairly easy now that I have a dremel tool.
