: Tony,
: The strongest masts you can ever get is a fishing rod tip.
: I use these when metal or wood masts will end up too fragile.
: I (usually) buy replacement tips of 1 meter length, and they taper from 5mm to 1, 2 or 3 mm. You can get them in many other sizes as well.
: They are very strong and nice and evenly tapered.
: You can cut them to fit your Titanic, and you are not able to snap them off, they are simply too strong. They are easy to drill, paint and glue (superglue)
: Regards

Stein,
Would a fishing tackle store be the logical place
to find these fishing rod tips? I looked at several on-line sources & the catalogs don't list
them as such. Are they called some other name?
What size do you recommend for the 1/350 Titanic?
