April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic races through the night. Suddenly a phone rings in the wheel house. "Iceberg right ahead!" Despite the reverse of Titanic's engines, she still had her "scrape with death" Two hours and 30 minutes later, Titanic was at a 45 degree angle until snapped almost completely in twain, but the ordeal was not over yet. once more, Titanic lifted her huge stern high into the air, vertical in fact, as it plunged into the icy Atlantic Ocean waters. Horrified first and second class passengers watched helplessly as third class passengers literally froze to death. In a final head count, it was estimated that 1516 people died out of the initial 2229. This video is dedicated to the 1516.

How to build an accurate LEGO Titanic
So one of the most commonly asked questions I get is how I build my LEGO ships. Here is a 5 step process in making an accurate ship

Decide on a scaling key. This will determine how big your ship will turn out. For example, LEGO Titanic 3.4's scaling key is "1 stud per 10 feet) This means that for every feet of the actual ship, there is 1 stud (A 882 ft ship will be 82 studs long)
Collect reference materials. If your building a famous ship, like the Titanic, there will probably be plenty of pictures of it online. The more reference pictures you have, the better your ship will be. The stern, bridge, top deck and funnels are usually the biggest influence on a ships look, so make sure to get that right
Build. It's usually best to start from the keel and work your way up, but there is no specific order you have to do it in. If you can, try to reflect some of the ship's internal structure too, if you want it to sink correctly (this includes bulkheads and hull damage) Finally, be sure to build your model in 2 pieces if you want it to break, and hold the ship together with a 2x4 on the top and a hinge on the bottom.
Footnotes:
*FOR THE FINAL TIME PEOPLE, I AM NOT PROUD OF THE SINKING. THE "YES!" AT THE END WAS BECAUSE THE WATER WAS FREEZING AND NONE OF US WANTED TO BE OUT THERE. And besides, this video was made in honor of those lost.
*No Legos were harmed in the making of this movie

*The reason my friend said "Yes" at the end was because the ship took 14 tries to get right and it was a 50 degree pool in the middle of February.

*Didn't sink right. Capsized right away. I could of fixed if I had time but my friend was freezing his butt off.

*This is for my 400th view.

*Special thanks to Kylesuf100 for supplying "The Atlantic Ocean".

*A lot of people want to know how I made it break. you basically make the ship in two pieces and connect them with a 2 by 4 on the bottom. When the ship starts to go down, it puts stress on the 2 by 4 because it needs to lift the entire stern up.

*To make it sink, put coins in it.

*Look out for my NEW TITANIC VIDEO coming soon. I just finished the model on the virtual Lego maker and i am about to buy it so stay tuned!
