The design for RMS Titanic funnels in 1/350 scale is nearly complete. The models are in the queue for test-printing this weekend. Renderings for Funnel No.1 appear below. Each funnel is uniquely angled at the bottom to account for deck shear so that each is the correct height and achieves a rake of 9.46 degrees (2 inches aft for every 12 inches in height). Features:
- full rivet detailing
- painter's sheaves
- shroud brackets (cable stay attachment points)
- five types of external water and steam pipes correct for
Titanic (
Olympic's funnel piping was different - some kits in various scales mistakenly depict
Olympic's steam loops and tank overflow piping detail rather than
Titanic's):
1. large boiler steam escape vents, 17" scale diameter forward and 15" scale diameter aft
2. whistle steam supply pipes
3. thick steam loops
4. single-pipe P-shaped tank air vent/overflows
5. double-pipe P-shaped tank air vent/overflows
The whistle service platform and ladder have been omitted in favor of photo-etch available from photo-etch vendors.
New nameplates include several Danish corvettes and frigates. Absalon and
Esbern Snare are available for both their logistic support ship designation and their ASW frigate designation.
