Oh my... Thanks guys :) The box kite is adorable Steve! But I'm looking to do more of a traditional kite although I do like the string you have used and might pinch that idea!
Sorry for not saying about the size... I'm hoping to make it minifigure scale so that it doesn't look out of place in a little moc I'm creating with a beach theme. The issue I had with the tow-truck string was the reel looked *huge* in the minifigure's hand!
Thanks again for the input xxx
