3.
1. Glue your Titanic template to the card. Colour in
your Titanic template and then carefully cut all around
the outside.
NB DO NOT cut the dotted lines.
Put the lifeboats to one side for now.
2. Fold along the dotted lines, so that your colouring is
on the outside.
Snip the tabs at either end of the keel (base) and fold these up too.
4. Bring the two sides of the bow (front)
together and secure with a small piece of
Cellotape.
5. Spread glue on the tabs of the front
end of the keel and stick them to the
inside of the bow.
6. Do the same with the stern (back) of
your ship.
7. Fold over the 2 boat deck strips from
either side and glue together.
8.
Colour in and cut around the 4 sets of lifeboats.
9.
Cut 8 pieces of string, each about 10 cm (4”)
long. Tape one end of the strings to the back
of each end of the lifeboat sets.
10. You will need 8 bits of pipe cleaner to make the davits (supports for lifeboats)
11. Bend all the tops over so the pipe cleaners look like little walking sticks.
12. Cellotape the davits to the inside of the ship, 4 on each side, with the curved
ends at the top.
13. Tie each of the lifeboats sets to two of the davits.
14. To make the funnels, cut along the thick black lines of the funnels sheet to
separate out your 4 funnels.
15. Colour your funnels or glue a black paper
strip along the top edge.
16. Snip and fold up the tabs at the bottom
of each funnel.
17. Spread glue along the glue tab and
then roll the funnel into a cylinder and glue
the edges together.
18. Spread glue on the underside of the tabs and stick each funnel into your
Titanic model. The funnels should all lean towards the stern (back) of the
ship.
Your Titanic model is complete.
