Do you think LEGO will also do the sister ships?
Build Thread: Lego Titanic
- Thread starter Antares JS
- Start date
I have no reason to believe they will do that.
Bag #30 contents.
Bag #30 complete. Black hull plates with portholes and some third class cabins.
Bag #31 conents. Looks like hull plating.
Bag #31 complete. Hull plating as expected. A bit more interesting to build here than the middle section since the hull is not flat anymore this far aft.
Bag 32 contents. Superstructure incoming.
Bag 32 complete.
I did bag 33 a few days ago but forgot to post about it... added roughly another deck.

If I had the money, one of those kits would be on my desk today. I ended up getting the new Ferrari Daytona SP3 last week. Finished it today and started installing a light kit for it.

Forgot again to take a picture of the laid-out pieces... but bag 34 is done. It built up the last segment of the promenade deck, with a skylight and a couple of benches.
One of the reasons I decided to get the Titanic was because the piece count to price ratio was pretty good. $630 for 9000 pieces isn't bad at all.
Those technic supercars are cool though. I have the Porsche 911.

I was going to get one for $630 until I saw it was one of the few kits Lego marked up in cost so it's like $680 now. I already have the Colosseum though and it was fun to build. The new Ferrari has a double-clutch gearbox with working paddle shifters that actually do make a difference in the speed that the engine pistons and wheels move when you shift it up and down.
Yeah, my Porsche has those same features.

any interest?

I'd read it.
Bag 35 completed, completing this segment of the ship. Bag 36 starts the aftmost segment of ship. Funnel 4 at the top of this segment was a dummy funnel, but I have heard it actually functioned as a giant ventilation shaft for the engine and boiler rooms deep below.
Bag 36 contents. This starts the aftmost segment of the ship, including the propellers, rudder, aft well deck, and stern deck.
Bag 36 complete. Aft foundation, propeller shafts, and outboard propellers.

Very cool!
Bag 37 contents.
Bag 37 complete. Built up some frame for the aft section and added the center propeller and rudder. Looking ahead, bags 38 and 39 are going to be hull plating, one for the port side and one for the starboard side.

The Galaxy Explorer is fantastic really enjoyed building mine.
The build is really neat. Is it just me or do the props look small? Cool that that they are in Warm Gold so they look bronze-ish
This is off the top of my head judging by my memory of a Titanic plastic model I built when I was younger so take it with a grain of salt...
The middle propeller looks right to me, except that it should have four blades. The outboards had three blades, but I think for closer to true scale they should maybe 25% or so bigger.
Bag 38 contents. Port side hull plating.
Bag 38 port side plating complete.
Bag 39 contents. Almost identical to bag 38 except some curved pieces are replaced with their mirror versions.
Bag 39 complete. Starboard side hull plating.
Bag 40 partially done... I realized I forgot to take a picture of the pieces partway through.
