Carpathia, JSC, 1:400

[JSC]

Hello Alan,
"Some years ago I competed the Revell ‘Thermopylae’ it’s just like Cutty Sark. Got the hull, masts and spars are thought to myself ‘job nearly done’. Had a look at the rigging diagram and did the first couple of lines. That was the ‘aha’ moment. It was such a spiders web of running rigging (brown) and standing rigging (black) that I had to think carefully about the order I did each one so it didn’t restrict access to the next one, but didn’t over-tension the the whole rig one way or another and bend the masts or spars."
---This is soooo true
So my funnel's method: The rigging around the funnel was made with thin wire. I drilled small holes 0.7 mm in the deck where marks were printed and put pieces of wire in the holes and fixed with superglue. Painted them grey.
I loved that method. Super easy for beginners in my opinion.

I just tried to find the "Carpathia" in JSC models, and had no luck.
Where would it be located?
Thanks!

BikerWilly - don't forget you can get it in the larger 1:250 size by asking JSC. Kit comes complete with Lasercut frames. You can also get lasercut details for both as well.

Thank you very much!
I signed up with JSC, but when I tried to sign in a few hours ago, it gave me an error message. Perhaps my account is not set up yet. Maybe in another day or two.
I'd rather have it in the 1:250 size. Thanks for mentioning that!

The 1:250 is the one to have! (I've got it, so I know!)

[BikerWilly]

Thanks, but they just told me that I can't order the 1:250 through the JSC site. I have to send a PM to PaperModels. I am not sure who I am supposed to send it to. How did you order your 1:250 kit?

[BikerWilly]

Why would I send a PM to someone HERE to get a kit from THEM It doesn't make sense. And they don't say who to send the PM to, either.

Hello BikerWilly,
We rescale models on request only. I sent you PM.
regards,
Kasia

Some more progress on Carpathia. Winches and ventilators. I replaced tiny printed parts with lasercut details painted black. I also replaced paper ventilators with resin ones painted white.
