Trumpeter Titanic 1:200: Funnel Rigging

[@chrisohara2325]

Looks great!

[@michaelbujaki2462]

On the Academy 1:350, they just have holes in the deck and you use thread for the cables. This looks a whole lot more difficult to do.

..but looks a lot better…:)

I know for a fact if I were walking down the deck I would continually walk into those ropes.
Looking great now, the ship looks alive 🙂

[@themodelbench]

Lol..Thanks Robbie. I've seen reference where the ropes reach the edge..but these were too short. Did you fond that?

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

@@themodelbench I’ve not fitted mine yet, but my thinking was to do exactly what you did. Just make them look taught and stick them where the length allows

[@themodelbench]

@@TheModelBoatGuy Yep I think so...cheers :)

[@philip167]

ok I've seen the books in the Titanic but where do I hook them onto there is nothing in the PE and nothing on the frames. do I drill wholes in the top deck

[@themodelbench]

Watch my video about the 2 mins 25 part. You can see I attach them to a tiny base part that sits on deck. I think this was part of PE set.

These funnels look fantastic, Do you use any of the 3D china Titanic parts?

[@themodelbench]

The funnels are China 3D…I’ve used others parts too..:)

@@themodelbench Brilliant, Just ordered the 3D China propellers, the standard ones that came in the box just have no detailing, What to get the funnels and davits next i think.

where can I get the rigging plans from as I have this kit

[@themodelbench]

I looked up various books and websites. I then decided on which rigging was always up. The flags changed depending on where it was in its journey.
