Is there any means by which a person could get a part that is lost, missing or broken?

Also Bricklink, which is the main secondary market, so one can also find OOP parts in there.

If a set was short a part, or came with a damaged part a quick call to LEGO customer service and they will send you a replacement.

Contents of #7 bags. Forgot to take a picture before completing one subassembly.

 

[Antares JS]

A few pictures showing how the portholes are built. It's fairly clever.

 

[Antares JS]

#7 bags complete. No building up this time, but added hull plating on the sides.

Is lots of fun watching this build consume someone else's time and table space.

I may save up and hopefully Lego will decide to put more in stock again, I just don't have any room for it. I did the Colosseum and then a week after I finished (took 39 hours to do), Lego announced the Titanic. The Colosseum is amazing in its own right but..... Titanic.....

Today is the anniversary of the sinking of Titanic.

I don't know how many know there is a memorial in Washington DC for the Titanic.

I visited that when I was in DC a few years back.

I didn't know that and I've spent a lot of time in DC.

#8 bag contents

 

[Antares JS]

#8 bags complete. Added superstructure, more grand staircase levels, and more cabins.

 

[Antares JS]

#9 bag contents

 

[Antares JS]

#9 bags complete. Superstructure and bridge. #10 bags will tile the promenade deck in tan and add the first funnel.

There are those who believe that the Titanic was designed so poorly and constructed from such inferior materials that a head-on collision would have shattered the vessel from bow to stern and it would have sunk even faster.

We'll never know.

We could support Clive to find out......

Bloody hell. I thought I was watching late night Oz TV for a moment...

That was one of Clive's middle of the day ideas......... His late night one is running in the election. Normal Lego service will now be resumed.....

#10 bag contents

 

[Antares JS]

#10 bags - promenade deck tiling, forward funnel, and snapping the two big sections built so far together. #11 will add most of the remaining hull plating.

Interesting choice of beverage and delivery vessel...

 

[OverTheTop]

Did you have ice in that drink? Don't tempt fate!

 

[Antares JS]

#11 bag contents. Lots of big elements since the entire bag is hull plating.

 

[Antares JS]

#11 bags complete.

 

[Antares JS]

Bag #12 contents. This is the final parts bag for the bow section.

 

[Antares JS]

Bag #12 and bow section complete after adding a few final hull plates, aft guy lines for the mast, and lifeboats.



My Lego itch has been thoroughly scratched at this point and I have a few rocket projects on the back burner I'd like to get back to. It might be a bit before I decide to open box 2 and start the middle section, but I'll be back eventually.

Very cool. It looks like you might be posting the contents once sorted and then the finished product in real-time. You might have mentioned that earlier and I just glossed over it, but I think that's cool. It gives an idea of the 'complexity' of the assembly of that section. Then again, I imagine sometimes the phone rings, baby cries, [adult] TV (hahaha, had to bring it back up - classic 'worst timing EVER' picture) or something else might skew the clock a bit.

It seems like saying an hour per bag is a reasonable approximation.

But, going back to rocket projects makes sense. No need to burn yourself out on this one and also people will probably appreciate new posts in a few weeks more than constant posts as well.

I look forward to box 2 when the time comes.

Sandy.

Keep in mind that I spend time sorting all the pieces the way I do, and depending on the bag's contents that adds another 30-60 minutes. While I don't have any reference for comparison, people have told me I'm really fast with Lego.

I expect that the sorting makes it go faster too.

And done "... with clear mind and conviction."

Sorry, the TV captions crack me up.
