The
grill layout requires attention because most of the first port
side section was filled in (see opposite).
Use
your preferred method of modification from the Trunk
Vent section of the Vents Overview and place a small sheet
of plastic in the location shown opposite.
This
is unnecessary if you are using Tom's new Misc. set.
Bob
Read mentions that the kit's vent is too narrow and needs to
be lengthened to match the width of the GSC skylight cover.
You can fashion this extension from sheet plastic. If you extend
the width of the part you will not be able to install Tom's
Modelworks vent grill.
This
vent and vents 16 & 18 need to be moved further aft. As
described by Roy Mengot in his guide the model places these
structures over the Grand Staircase foyer. Their front ends
actually lined up with the aft bulkhead of the GSC foyer.
To
accomplish this you need to move the molding for the vent and
funnel further aft.
Draw
a reference line using the aft wall of the GSC as a guide (i.e.
where the deckhouse roof turns inboard at the aft of the 1st
class foyer). Measure the distance from reference line to the
forward end of the hole in the deckhouse roof. Use this length
to draw a line from the aft corners of the hole and join the
two points together. You should now have a box drawn on the
aft end of the hole in the deck that is the same size as the
open area in front of the reference line.
Now
carefully cut out the area aft of the hole and fill the forward
area using a small piece of sheet plastic and putty. Scribe
the deck planking to repair the damaged area and paint the color
of the deck.
The
funnel also needs to be moved aft slightly to fit all of the
vents and grates in place. Carefully cut off the forward 'C'
shape molded on the deck.
Skylight
Duct
On the aft end of the skylight cover between the two portholes
was a right angled duct. This followed down the back of the
skylight cover to the deck and then over to the base of the
box trunk vent in front of #2 funnel. Construct this from plastic
stock sand into a rectangular shape. See SKYLIGHT
section for details.
Thanks
to Bruce Beveridge for supplying us with this information for
the forward #2 funnel vent layouts.
