Adding details to a model is a daunting task, but the results will give the modeler a feeling of accomplishment and pride. There are many details on the model that may seem impossible to replicate or make. Tiny rods, spar lengths, and conduits can be very hard to make. Some modelers make these by using the model trees and make 'pulled sprue' (mentioned by the Rivet-Counter Tutorial) for the lengths they need. Evergreen Scale Models has made detailing easier by manufacturing styrene sheet and strip plastics for modelers to accomplish their task.

Evergreen sheets come in many widths and sizes that allow the modeler to modify and cut into the shape they need. They come in many forms also - there are flat/smooth sheets and there are planking type sheets. If available, these sheets come in white, black, and clear colors. These sheets can be used for decking, modifications, or replacement of large areas on the model. The Evergreen sheets come in a plastic wrapper and price ranges from $1.00 - $20.00, depending on the size.

On the other hand, strip plastics made by Evergreen are measured precisely and cut into thin lengths. They come in rod form and flat thin strips. These can be used for conduits, spars, piping...and everything else you can think of! The Evergreen strips come in small plastic wrapper and price ranges from $0.20 - $11.00, depending on the bulk and size.

Seen here are Evergreen sheets and strips used on the Titanic bridge area. The bridge roof planking is done by the planking sheet and trimmed by white plastic strip. Note the bulwark support stanchions in progress also.

Shown here are various rods used for the piping on the third funnel and casing. Note the tiny rods were used for stanchions on the bulkhead of the ship.

Some modeler may opt to modify the Promenade A Deck and BDeck bulkhead support bars by cutting the existing ones out and putting Evergreen strips as a replacement. This can be very difficult to do, but from a distance, they have a better scale effect than the molded one on the model.

Finally, some minor details on the stern can always be modified to look scaled and museum quality.
