When simulating rope, I have always used embroidery floss. The stuff can be broken down into smaller strands, and comes in plenty of colors for what type of them you are doing. I have used this stuff for everything from figure models, to tied down stuff on military vehicles. I even used it once to replace the wiring on an ERTL "Back to the Future" DeLorean.

Just remember to brush on a thinned elmers glue to get it to stay in place. If you coat it thicker, then it can simulate wiring.
