Does the LEGO TITANIC FLOAT!?

Not to mention the price, the trumpeter kit is cheaper than the lego set, and is very accurate and superb detail if you buy pontos kit, scaledecks, and china 3d printed parts, all up to maybe $800, same price as the lego kit.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

To prevent the boat from tipping over, it is essential to weigh it down. This is the case with Playmobil boats where a metal bar is fixed to the bottom of the hull.

[@xBoOpx]

even then I doubt it would float for long, hull wasn't designed to keep out water and its too heavy to keep the ship at a realistic water level. i'm sure it can be modified but it would take non-lego things to do.

[@TheRealTburt]

I think it was really low in the water. The waterline was well past the first bottom rows of windows so it might have been taking on water.

[@gunnarthefeisty]

In the OLD lego boats from the 80s, they had these pieces that would attach to the bottom of the hull plates that had weights inside them. They would work.

[@Mr.Edd3905]

It was obviously never going to float. You'd need a proper ballast.

[@charles24852]

That would be a huge build I wish Lego would have come out with an alternate build for the wreck but the we're sneaky in their placement of the separated sections.

[@Crzypengu]

Its possible, but I think the colors of the ship will have to be changed a lot due to what it looks like now underwater. I'm sure someone can essentially build it based on the current instructions but adding (or at least subtracting) parts of the build to make it look like the shipwreck. I'm more curious to see if someone plans on making the RMS Britannic using the Hospital colors it had.

[@charles24852]

@@Crzypengu why do now why not do a pristine 1912 wreck it's something we never saw. Sure the reality of what the sea bed looked like for a few years was unimaginable given the human remains but its not to that level of scale so it could look beautiful

[@Crzypengu]

@@charles24852 I guess thats possible as well. It will still require the same amount of detail as the ship that sank that day including the roof structure being smash down quite a bit on the bow. The stern looks like it could be a more challenging build to pull off since the model.itself is in microscope so one has to really make it look like it was smashed down on the ocean floor.

[@charles24852]

@@Crzypengu when I built my model in minecraft I used the 1985 photos for reference. The bow is more intact so only a few things would change. The stern is a twisted mess almost completely unrecognizable. Where the set separates is perfect

[@mikromodelleu]

The center of gravitiy is too high and/or the width ist too small: The model will capsize as all models with this weakness are doing. You need to lower the enter by gravitiy by using a keel as done for sailing yachts. With this additional weight the model will be to heavy and sinks. My answer: No, the model doesn't float.

[@CombraStudios]

With proper adjustments the Lego Titanic will float

[@EventHorizonQHD]

[@bedhestda]

If it's historically accurate it should have sunk while Celine Dion music is playing

[@ammej768]

My father always said that the Titanic might have been kept afloat for longer, if some weighted tarpaulin sheets could have been draped over the side where the damage was. They might have stemmed the leaking seams sufficiently to allow the pumps to keep the boat afloat until help arrived. Similarly, some cling film around the Lego Hull would have helped!!!

[@janetpendlebury6808]

I dont think any amount of tarpaulins would have done any good. When the ship hit the iceberg it created a 300-foot-long line of damage on the starboard section of the hull, including punctures and gashes, that opened up too many compartments to the sea, the weight of the water dragged the bow down so low that the ship eventually sank. If it had more lifeboats many more people could have been saved.

[@ReverendFather_UncleRuckus]

@@janetpendlebury6808 if the titanic hit the iceberg directly it might have been able to stay afloat. Also if the didn't stop and reverse the engines and keep the same speed and just turned the rutter it's possible that it could have avoided the iceberg completely.

[@CloneH38]

You need those lego boat weights. I have like 3 or 4 of them. They used to come with boat models in the 80s. I bet if you added 4 of those weights to the bottom..it would float.

[@pieterboelen2862]

Exactly my thinking. Just some really heavy weight down below as ballast and she should be fine. Real ship would've had fuel compartments down below; and use much lighter materials on the superstructure. That's how they prevent capsizing. Still, clearly she DOES float. As basically all LEGO must. Has to be difficult to make something that actually stays steadily *below* the water.

[@JasperJanssen]

Locomotives used to have 2x6x2 blocks with steel weights inside them, as well, for traction.

[@Agent505]

I love the irony of pairing the ocean salvage boat with the Titantic - again - to see if it floats. Wrong on so many levels but dang, dude, fun, fun fun.

[@Cleptro]

I wonder what might happen if you were to remove some of the supporting structures in Boat, A, and B Deck? Obviously the model is top heavy, but the keel of the vessel SHOULD be wide enough to keep her stable as long as the weight matches, she is actually wider to her length and height to her historical namesake. Something to consider, for sure! I'd test it myself, but I don't have a pool :P

[@guleri]

I think you should do more "Will it float" videos with Lego ships as they come out. If you have them there are some Creator ships that could be tested too. We know the boats made from the pre-cast hulls will float (like the big exploration ship you started with) but it is still interesting to see if the builds will stay the right way in the water. And then you have tons of other boats in various series that could be tested.

[@VaughnLower]

Wow, even the Lego titanic want to run into the iceberg. Very accurate model

[@AnotherWatchChannel]

This is brilliant! Haha. But after you hit the iceberg, you had to have known it was going to sink/fall out lol. History gave us that prediction lol.
