: I just started to add the masts to the Minicraft 1/350 Titanic model. Some how the masts look out of scale to me. they seem to be too thick. Are they? If yes, what is the best fix?
As far as I know, those masts are fairly correct however, I would never use those brittle dudes again. Use fishing pole tips (fast action) or wooden skewers sanded down to match the original. It is heartbreaking to do all that rigging and have the mast break off with an errant wave of the hand or elbow.
Good luck
