Clear Acrylic Rod for Portholes - 1/200 Titanic

Hello there,
I've started building the Trumpeter 1/200 Titanic and noted a couple of posts which reference the use of clear acrylic rod to simulate the ships porthole glass and provide support to interior lighting effects.

I was wondering if anyone who has used this technique may be able to recommend the different sizes of rod used for the various sized portholes on the model.

Any advice or information is greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,
Seen a lot of video logs and options for doing the Titanic portholes, and thanks to all the amazing SoS members who provided feedback.
I've bitten the bullet and ordered a bunch of clear acrylic rods in various dimensions, and will be employing that medium to do the portholes on my Titanic. Doesn't seem to be a common solution, but I like a challenge. :cool: Will post pics and progress.

Cheers,
Steve
