Thank you very much for the comments.
Jamie, The rope is made of string rolled around itself and a copper wire. This is as close as I could press it against the body. Maybe I'll use some glue later on when it's painted.
Demchenko, I use 1:24(75mm) scale because I think it's easier to sculpt in it. I don't know, I haven't tried any other scale yet. Maybe someday.
Cheers,
Primož
