Underneath the superstructure runs a pipe along the majority of its length. The pipe can be seen coming up the 2nd (middle) post of the foreward B deck promenade then bending towards the stern. My question is how far back does this pipe run under the superstructure overhang? Page 92 of Titanic At Two shows a picture of the Olympic and it appears as though this pipe ran to the farthest post aft on the superstructure and then bent down towards the B deck floor. Was this the same for the Titanic? One painting I have been looking at (Titanic) seems to have the pipe ending at the aft end of the Cafe Parisien then bending inward where the aft B deck open promenade begins.
I wish to add this pipe in part to mask the seam between the superstructure and the hull but mainly to add as much detail as possible to the 1/350 model.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers, Mike
