How did you do your rigging? Looks like you made rings and threaded through tubing.

Andrey Baranov Autor
The technique is very simple.
First, I made an eyelet from thin copper wire (0,05 mm or so). I thirled it around 0,2mm drill then several turnes twist wire to make a shank.
Second I drill a blind hole (0,2mm diameter) in the attachment point.
Third I place the shank in the hole and fix it with superglue.
The only thing I have to do after it is to fit the wire (elastic thread) in eyelet and fix with glue.
