[Titanic Break-Up Failures #2] Slow-Mo Intact Sinking

[thunderstudent]

Well if its and consolation to you, your Titanic did better then the real one in terms of staying together while sinking.

[steamfan1998]

how easy do you reckon it would be to make a model that sinks in 2 hours and 40 minutes like the real ship, i have attempted it with my arfix 1/700 titanic and looking at "titanic anatomy of a disaster " to see how big the damage was and trying to get the berg damage on the model similar with bulkheads ancoins to float it but after it covers the forward deck it just plunges under water

@steamfan1998 Some folks did it with a properly-scaled model a number of years back. It was featured on one of the many documentaries released after the '97 film.

guys did u see that it stoud for a minute(exaturating)

like the brittanic

Do you think you can do a vid of the model sinking at night? I think it would look cool to replicate the original sinking :D

[Rapidnadion]

@XiLin108 We've done a few of those (years ago), but with a very old, cheap camera - it's hard to shoot at night with our equipment. Someday we'll do it right.

sinks like real thing good job :D

[Rapidnadion]

@13295n Thank you!

[MDkid1]

Actually you might have gotten the port list bang on.

This would have been the accepted sinking strategy up until 1985! :)

[Joezvi]

Respect for trying man!

[Rapidnadion]

@Joezvi Thanks! We eventually got there. Check out the [Model Titanic Splits] videos on our Channel page!

This is incredible! When I try to get my model to break at the right spot, it can be a real pain in the butt. Sometimes, it will just roll over, break, the masts will break and it will sink by the stern. In fact, I lost one of my models because it caught on fire when I tried to use fire to make it split better. :(

[Rapidnadion]

@starwarsfandude Not surprised. This is definitely the most difficult Titanic-related project we've ever done!

[Emomoz]

wow ! that exactly how its sink!! but you need a titanic music :)

[Rapidnadion]

@Emomoz Not quite exactly, but thanks! We can't add music because of our status as YouTube partners; music is not permitted on ad-enabled videos.

[fischerjohn72]

I dont know if I wrong...But the propellers are barely coming out of the water. I think water is getting into the expansion joint between funnels 3 and 4 causeing the bow to sink from the middle forward. And it is also causeing the stern to start sinking sooner then it is supposed to. Just to give you some advice.

[MrTitanic14]

You're right, you need a union that does not allow water to enter but easy to separate when the explosion occurs.

[Rapidnadion]

@fischerjohn72 You, sir, have hit the nail on the head. We'll cover this more in-depth in a future blog post on our site, but the issue relates to how the ship is held together (high-tension rubber band on C-deck). The tension above causes the hull gap to widen, causing premature amidships flooding. See our "Sagging Titanic" video (uploading now) for an extreme example of this.

[MrTitanic14]

You did a great job, shame that the model seems not to cooperate

[Rapidnadion]

@MrTitanic14 Thank you. We actually got it to cooperate a little bit (a very little bit) after about ten attempts. Video coming.
