This is the TRUMPETER 1:200 Scale RMS Titanic, modified with bulkheads, ballast, and holes to sink as authentically as possible, However she does not split unlike the real ship.
Hello everyone! I would just like to say thank you for all the support and getting this video to 100 thousand views! To celebrate I am working on a Q&A video to answer all your questions about how this was made and why I did this, if you have anything you want me to specifically answer, feel free to ask in the replies to this comment!
I've seen lots of clips of Titanic models sinking but even though this model didn't split, this is as real as I've seen. Especially how her sinking started off slow then as soon as the water reached the boat deck, she began her final plunge
@iFIopsi K. actually most simulations showed the titanic’s bridge still out of the water 20 minutes before it sank, in that position there was probably 5 minutes left at most
@@jelly-lines3311 you are thick as shit you realise that the this actually happened in real life not just a bloody movie and yes she did split actually in 3 pieces not 2
Someone on Reddit compared this to the sink in the '97 movie. When it rose up it looked very similar. Anyway, all this needed to be a perfect sink would be a list to port and not plunging as quickly as did. If you really want to go all out then add the funnels collapsing and the split. Nice job here. Now I'm gonna go back to my RC videos, where Titanic never sinks. :)
Dude I looked at someone's comment then you can't split this model of titanic because it will affect the look and make the model look bad. The creator of this video said that
The way it sits at the water line is perfect! Planning on making my eventual model into RC with "working" funnels and lights! How did you ballast the model?
Thank you! I used steel quarter ounce wheel weights off of amazon with adhesive backs: www.amazon.com/Wheel-Weights-0-25-Stick-Adhesive/dp/B016AY25PW/ref=pd_sbs_263_2/144-1968635-5026617?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B016AY25PW&pd_rd_r=aff64503-b69a-4bcd-8453-0f40a65aaf8a&pd_rd_w=MofGS&pd_rd_wg=4JXl7&pf_rd_p=12b8d3e2-e203-4b23-a8bc-68a7d2806477&pf_rd_r=8PKRAGD2E8WYR7V885E2&psc=1&refRID=8PKRAGD2E8WYR7V885E2
ah the sinking always goes faster once the well deck begins to flood, and once the bridge goes under, the rest of the ship follows suit within a minute (at least for models anyway)
I know a way to split it but it requires patience. Get a paper clip and bend it into a hook / lever and then add a chunk of foam on the hook connect the hook to the stern to hold the ship in place. Once’s the water reaches the foam it will activate the leaver and unhook the stern
I considered making the ship split but I decided it would affect the look of the model too much since the primary purpose of this model is for display. Also methods of making the ship split that work for smaller models likely wouldn't work for this one because it is so heavy, the dry model weighs more than 40 pounds
This is something i've noticed, it sinks slowly until the bridge goes under, once the bridge goes under, all model ships sinking in this manner plummet.
once it reaches the upper most deck there's really nothing to slow it down. there are no longer any decks above the water line to keep some kind of buoyancy and so once the water reaches the bridge there's nothing to stop the water from pushing the ship down.
@@borkly2491 exactly and 30 minutes from there to reach the bridge, I recommend watching Titanic, Honor and Glory's final plunge video, shows what I am talking about.
Two things, 1) that house/pool/backyard-wow. 2) the weight of the hull after filled with water, probably smashed the model. Such a waste:-( I build static ship models myself, so know the amount of work they require. Hundreds of hrs.
I love all these Titanic model sinking videos! Someone should try it with a Titanic model that has sealed windows and is divided into chambers instead of being hollow on the inside, to get a more accurate sinking. This still looks really cool tho! I don't know whether I could sink a Titanic model if I had one this cool lol. It'd break my heart xD
I used just normal airbrush paint. If you are to build one of these I would strongly recommend just using normal matte spray paint for the hull and decks as its way easier to get an even coat (up close the hull looks really patchy on my model)
It would've been terrifying and traumatic to be on this ship as it sinks into a sea of glass, passengers screaming in the black abyss underneath your lifeboat, and then 20 minutes later, silence, except the cries.of women and children knowing that their loved ones are gone, after the night went pitch black after titanic's dimming lights go out and the only thing lighting up the night is the stars reflecting on the ocean, as the ship breaks apart while passengers scream in terror.
Who would even have the nerve to DISLIKE THIS?! That’s just mean, with the amount of time this person put into making this, come on guys we can do better at life! I’m a subscriber BTW in case you didn’t know 🙂.
I'm curious what you used to make the bulkheads. I have this model as well and am thinking of converting it to Britannic but mine has the common "bowing" issue and parts of the hull bend inward or slightly outward in other areas. So I'm more or less curious about how you got the proper measurements without distorting the hull, and how thick your bulkheads are! I've done this type of thing with smaller scale models before, so maybe it's just thickness of the plastic changing, but I've noticed that over the years they seem to have distorted the hull, causing it to bulge out slightly where the bulkheads are. (Even though mine were actually slightly too small and needed a lot of filler on the sides, so I don't think it's a pressure issue). Anyway, I'd be weary of that happening.
I 3d modelled and printed my bulkheads off of measurements from the model, and cut and sanded them to fit as good as possible. I used 4 but in retrospect I should have done atleast 2 more to get a better flooding speed. You can really make them out of anything the key is make sure they are not very flexible. I used to use flexible plastic in my models and it always led to leaks. Plus it won't help with the rigidity of the model.
@@Ekircher5 Ah, I see. I used to use more flexible plastics on the 1/350 scale models like this and that's likely part of what the problem was. If you have a store page or would consider having others printed for purchase I'm sure there's plenty including myself who would be interested. After all I need to get 3D printed parts for the Britannic conversion either way. :P Anyway though, this model is wonderfully built! The moment I heard about these kits coming out I knew someone would do this, and it looks very impressive to see it :)
@@ohlawdy6855 unfortunately I don't sell any 3d prints. I could provide the .STL files for you or somebody you know to print for you. It also wouldn't be too difficult to take some sheet plastic and cut it to size.
Great job, I had bulkheads in mine and literally just one small pinhole in the bow and it was a nice slow sinking that resulted in the last third of her sticking straight up out of the water for a moment or two before dropping in.
It sank in one whole piece, the way it did in... Atlantic (1929) Titanic (1942) (German wartime propaganda film) Titanic (1953) A Night To Remember (1958) and SOS Titanic (1979)
Para ter uma melhor noção de como foi o naufrágio a maquete tem q ter todas as anteparas a prova dágua, ales de todos o dequis vedados se fizer isso vc terá uma boa noção de como realmente foi a inclinação e o tempo q leva pra afundar fica muito mais realista
I totally get that nobody wants to ruin their big dollar model by pre-cutting the break point and rigging the stacks to collapse. Sure, understandable. But Titanic sank on a moonless night. Lighting and composition are everything. As it is sinking, one of the greatest dramas was seeing the ships lights blink, come on again, then go dead forever. This exercise was a goofy looking fail not for the missing break, or even the happily dying people on deck. But for lighting. and composition. Great modeling skills. Nothing short of amazing, really. But your videography is a sad afterthought not worthy of the effort.

How long did it take to make this model?
Also just to say you're a really good model kit maker 😉
Why did you want to make this, also could I do it and be able to split it and list it.
Where did you get the model?
@@Srpstv0 I can actually answer this! So he got this model on the titanic honor and glory shop.

Beautiful model, beautiful sinking! I hope the bubbles in the end didnt rip of any parts/decks.
This is painful to watch a $300+ model kit sink, but it sure looks like the real thing, impressive!

The ship actually hit the bottom immediately after the stern went under. The pool is almost exactly the same depth as the length of the ship!

Ekircher5 that sucks oh well still a thought. I know it works for the 1:350 scale model and lower
1:46 last time the ship has seen daylight
This was an expensive video
This model simulates the “Slight but Definite Plunge” when the bridge went under very well.
Seeing this model sink to the bottom was so hard to watch, and given its cute size, I just want to give it a great big hug!
Huh? 4 feet is a "cute" size?
wow, the damage reconstruktion is awesome! goosbumps
Do a video about a sinkable submarine with a camera inside so we can see the wreck! That would be so cool
But I thought titanic was the submarine
Yo can we see what the interior looks like, with the bulkheads and such
Why do I love the Olympic class liners so much
whats not to like?
Titanic and britannic sinking, olympic getting scrapped, and the commercialization of titanic
This is something i've noticed, it sinks slowly until the bridge goes under, once the bridge goes under, all model ships sinking in this manner plummet.
Not just models, real ships too! Titanic took 2 and a half hours to reach the bridge and 10 minutes to sink fully from there

@@cadenchristiansen3553 that not what he means
nicely detailed model
1:39 the final plunge
Titanic funnels 1 and 2 collapses and then titanic breaks in half between the third and fourth funnel then the stern go up and go down
Oh my god, this is one of the most realistic titanic's out there, what paint did you use for the hull?
I used just normal airbrush paint. If you are to build one of these I would strongly recommend just using normal matte spray paint for the hull and decks as its way easier to get an even coat (up close the hull looks really patchy on my model)
Although the water was too hot for icebergs... call oceanographer Robert Ballard !
Why am I so obsessed with the Titanic sinking?
Its cool how it sank pretty similar to the real Titanic
Cracking video mate.
Nice video. But much more interesting is the view of your house and the landscape. Very nice!!
Best Titanic model sinking video ever. You should do the watertight doors And See od IT helps. Very good video
1:45 the final plunge
I like the iceberg damage
DAMMIT!!! why yall always gotta MAKE me cry
You special needs bro.
OMG I have been waiting for this.
Oh geez she went down quite fast, any damage?
@@carbonjettasher6092 Nope! caught it under water before it hit. Model is happily sitting on my shelf probably done with her sinking adventures!

Did you do or replicate the bulk heads or was it completely hollow inside?
Had to have had bulkheads otherwise it would’ve just capsized or something
To tell you the truth I was expecting an "iceberg" at the beginning! 😲
im guessing if this was sunk on purpose, all of the expensive drive and control hardware would have been removed and replaced with ballast.
You should do a few more of these videos.
Nicest model I have seen
Gotta love the peaceful music playing while 1500 people are dying
