Will there be any interior?

Hi! RMS Gigantic here, research support for Bones4's Titanic. I admit that we are rather taking our time with the RMS Titanic at the moment due to universally busy schedules for those involved, but enough about the Titanic at the moment.

I like the design of the hull, though the hull looks very vertical. I'm wondering if you're planning on giving her her keel? You also have me curious as to what resources you're using for research (not saying there's anything inaccurate, I would just like to know), and how ambitious you are being with the project.

yes full interior will be added and i am using my model and a cross section book. plus real life photos i guess thats the advantage of building a ship that is still afloat also yes gigantic I will be adding a keel and the stabilizers

Just added lifeboats and some vents with the tennis court fencing also made the funnel get lower the further they go back as they do...

It's coming along quite nicely.
But might I ask, why are the lifeboats blue?
Are they covered by a tarp?

Noice.

captain c · January 31, 2013, 05:05:38 PM

yep they have coverings over them but only the first in the row is uncovered

It looks great.

However, you're underestimating the complexity of the hull. The hull doesn't follow a linear shape like yours. That has been one of the more time consuming problems with Titanic. Also, the level of detail I've added to my ship is honestly on an entirely different level. I've spent more time researching and measuring than I have building.

No offence, but I took it a bit more personally once I read you were trying to outdo me and bragged about how little time this was taking. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but if you really look at my ship, the detail is endless.

As far as my lulls on progress, I was in high school for a lot of my progress, two years of college (full time) with a job, and now I'm active duty military. It's hard to find free time. Much less for Blockland.

On my previouse comments I said the hull was practcally a shell which will be rebuilt as I do have a blueprint now. and tbh You should feel proud that im trying to out do you after all it justifys how well your titanic is built does it not...plus you have a team right? im only one person. I to am at "high school" or comprehensive as we call it here (UK) and I do say it's nice that the fame of Titanic is not stuck to the Uk and in my opinion is one of the finest ships built by Britain I beleive when you have time we could load both builds next to each other to show size difference would make a nice screen shot wouldn't you think?

Bones4 · February 02, 2013, 11:09:37 AM

Sure we could do that. Also, I still built 90% of my ship on my own.

As for feeling proud, I didn't get that from you. I just noticed I was called out as being slow and careless.

Bones makes some good points.

How you interpret a comment is totally up to you but I did not mean it in that way.
And sure he does make good points he's my inspiration on blockland and I will heed his advice :) no Bones Titanic = No queen Mary ,but I do wonder when people will let the Titanic be in peace 101 years ago and still as famous as they day it set sail. Also what do you mean by a linear hull?
