YES! This is sooo close to how I believe Titanic sank, it sat low in the water before the bow went under but when it did I believe the propellers lifted clear out of the water and by the time the water reached the bridge the 2 aft watertight compartments were out of the water then after the forward boat deck plunge the aft expansion joint split open a little causing water to rush in and causing either sides of the split to crush in on one another and the stern would have lifted high out of the

@clctitanic Thank you. There are so many different version of what happened, that is hard to decide how to portray it.

The stern was completely level when it broke.

The ship broke too late, after the last funnel was submerged.

It's not that perfect.

@Tundraboy05 Even the eye witness accounts contradict each other. I presented it based on what I knew when I built the model in 1997.

As fellow sinking-model-Titanic builders, we'd love to have some information on how this model came to be, and what the sinking and splitting methods used were. Also, when was this shot?

[hobbywars]

@Rapidnadion I built it in 1997. Radio control servos turned on electric motors in the model to pull a cork to flood the ship, and unscrew a bolt to break it apart.
