The grand old vessel Artanic. The first and largest ship that was ever made in Torque Constructor was impressive for many people. The ship's keel was built on 3 August 2009. The entire ship was finished on 28 August 2009. She was originally a "
three-funnel" liner, but a fourth funnel was added to improve her design.
Artanic as a three-funnel liner can be seen
here when she was in progress. There were many Artanic-fans in Blockland, and I really appreciate it how many people loved the ship. Even some people were complaining about her hull, but the ugly hull problems were solved in the new Olympic and Artanic III.
After I had become better in Torque Constructor, I started to make two new ships. The new
Olympic and
Artanic III were finished last year. How ever, compared with the new ships I had made last year, the Artanic became outdated. Her design was soooo 2009, that she didn't fit anymore in the Laurentic Star Line.
It was really quiet for six months, and I had already questions from some people, why there wasn't any news about the good old vessel Artanic. She was actually withdrawn from service on 16 October last year. I decided to remove her lifeboats, Olympic remembrance poster, flags and lights inside the ship.
This was her life time.
