You're gonna need a bigger table.
I particularly like the Purdue tumbler on your work station - Boiler Up!

Just finished mine; what an impressive model!
Welcome back.
Box 2 contains 18 bags labeled 13-28. There are two #13 bags and two #21 bags.

The instruction book, highlighting the middle section of the ship to be built with the contents of box 2.
#13 bag contents.
#13 bags complete. This is the lower frame for the section of the ship including funnel 2. This middle section will be built in two halves centered on funnels 2 and 3.
The boiler rooms have taken shape at the front end of this section. They will be opposite the actual boilers when the bow and middle sections are assembled.

Bag #14 contents. Looks like pieces for passenger cabins and building the frame up higher.
Bag #14 complete. Higher frame, passenger cabins, and the aft half of the swimming pool.
Bag #15 contents. Big plates, red tiles, portholes... looks like some side plating.

This is my son’s scratch LEGO Titanic from a while back when he was fascinated with all things Titanic. We purchased the Cobi version a couple years ago, but he never built it.
Bag #15 complete. Starboard side hull plating.
Bag #16's contents are almost identical to those of 15. Port side hull plate, coming up.
Both sides are now plated.
Bag 17 contents.
Bag 17 complete.
How the line of windows is built.
Bag 18 contents
Bag 18 complete. Upper decks are built up, and the next back will start tiling of the promenade deck.
Bag 19 contents. Lots of tan deck tiles in this one.
Bag 19 complete. Note the skylight for the grand staircase.
Question: when building a kit of this enormity, does it continue to be *enjoyable* all the way through? I can appreciate that the finished kit is extraordinary, and that (as always) there are loads of impressive bits of engineering to admire as you build. But is it actually *fun*?
I've found that with some of the Lego kits, my enjoyment starts to wane after a while and it becomes drudgery (especially true of the large Technics set I built). This is true even as I marvel at what I'm constructing.
Could just be me.

Same thing as with rockets for me, when you get tired of it, go do something else for a while. I did take a break of a few months between building the bow and middle sections, and I expect to take another break between finishing the middle and starting the stern section. That helps keep it fun.

How much CA glue have you used to build this thing? I'm assuming that you're NOT going to be taking it apart anytime soon...
Seriously though, even if you're not planning to dismantle a set, Lego elements hold together well enough that glue is completely unnecessary. It seriously baffles me that anyone glues Legos.
Need to use Kragle.
