the glued thread into place, and held it for a few minutes with
tweezers. Once the glue set up, it stayed in position [4], and
within a very short time hardened to shape. The solvent glue
bonds it to plastic pieces on either side.
I chose black thread, but you can choose whatever color suits
your fancy or matches the model. I learned this technique while
doing a large sailing ship model many years ago. The attached
lines got stiff and hard, but retained the rough line look.
