What's good size and color thread for 1/350 battleship? I've seen someone on other website said don't use black&white thread for rigging, sewing thread isn't great etc. I want to know what kind of thread and size you guys used for your 1/350 model. 

Thanks

What ship, nation, year are you building?   When I hear battleship I think steel ships, thus virtually no rigging compared to sailing ships of earlier times.  Sailing ships had dozens of sizes of running rigging and standing rigging but later ships had very few lines by comparison and could be both manilla and steel lines.  At your scale a few sizes would probably suffice.

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU
