Thread (literally)

I will, at some point, begin a MAYFLOWER model in about 1/80 scale. For some lines I can use threads of different colors and thicknesses. Others will have to be much finer, I think. I'd like to avoid fishing line, if possible; that has a tell-tale shine that cotton does not have.

What do you use for smaller lines on ship models? All suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks,

KMS

If you can find a local Hobby shop, they have threads of all different kinds, just for what your doing. Sometimes, they sell the spools in kits, and can save you money that way.
