8T,

I'll add some conplexity to the mix by offering two additional options:

- Split thread dubbing loop
_ Spin on dubbing, then double thread making a loop which is dubbed thread one leg, bare thread other leg. Twist, then wrap.

I just dub on thread, make a noodle and wrap the abdomen (and the thorax). I can get the slender and smooth, or rough and rugged, look as I want by a combination of material selection and tightness of dubbing noodle.

Any of the techniques mentioned will work and can produce the result you are after. Practice them all and pick the one which works best for you.

Cheers,
Hans W
