Starlight Jayhawk Build Part 11 Shock Cord Mount


While the shock cord mount should work fine, I thought the card stock was a little thin.

I re-cut another from 110 lb. card stock. My mount is to the left.

This mount is based on the old G. Harry Stine design used in the MPC kits.



The round elastic cord is knotted and laced through.

Notice the knot is not behind the mount but overhanging the edge at the bottom.

When glued in place, it's actually stronger when the knot is below the lower edge of the card stock mount.
