I completely circumvented the flimsy string problem by using braided nylon fishing line on mine. After I stitched it through the funnels and the floor, a hung modeling clamps from each end of the string to make them taught. Then, all I had to do was paint the line. Turned out beautiful.
yes i did search the revell website for information about this model kit. Is that where you got yours from? I read today that the 1:570 scale is around 470mm long, but i'm still not sure as i bought the civilian airline model kit that on the box said 470mm fuselage and body length but when i built it it was over 600mm. It on the airfix site, and its a boeing 747 kit, if you want to see it by any chance. I'm just not sure about the length of the titanic kit before i buy one? thanks for your reply
based on that vid though, i think it does look very detailed, but you should have put some ropes in i think for more effect, from like the cotton used in sewing and stiching which is very thin. Yes you are right though it would take ages, but have you seen the titanic model that the guy built from matchsticks? Now thats what i call devotion and sticking through with something, and look at how big and detailed the whole thing is to, if he did a good paint job on though it would look amazing.
After how much i said i wanted a titanic model, i ended up getting a 1:72 concorde Airfix kit for £25 from toymaster lol. Anyway thanks for your help though, and arsenal will beat Man u @ the weekend, and as you can probably tell i support ARSENAL lol
I think you have done a good job here. is this a model kit? because i was thinking of getting the titanic model kit and it is 1:570. By the way do you know how big the model would be in cm and mm if u know please?
is this the kit were you have to put the poop decks railing in hot warter and bend it around the stern of the ship???

just need a little ballast to stop it keeling over though

it's very hard to build?

it needs all that line?
aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa 2 years ago
cool
no, its relatively easy as long as you have time and paitience
the funnels are not detachable once glued down
you can put it in water but needs ballast
doesnt need all that line, just for show

it looks highly detailed, but it still lacks key features, but hey, it would take us years to build if they including everything

its funny you say that, i was watching some of his vids today, including the finished one. it looks amazing.
by the way, i didnt put the ropes in because the cotton supplied by revell is not acceptable. its really thick and it swamps the model, awell
