I’ve been wanting this for years for my self beautiful ship 🚢

[@MotionRC]

it's even more impressive in person

[@CitizenMio]

"Still scale speed" *torpedoes through the water doing maneuvers that would kill more passengers with flying furniture than any iceberg ever could, while casually parting the seas and pushing along a wall of water at least 10 meter high* xD

[@robertshabarekh610]

😂👍

[@singleproppilot]

“Scale speed” would look ludicrously slow. Titanic cruised at 21 knots (24 mph). Divide by 200 and that’s 0.12 mph. It would be like watching grass grow.

[@somethingtojenga]

You actually want to get the waterline about a quarter inch BELOW where the red meets the black. That's the 'antifouling line' where the antifouling paint ends, and that red paint is meant to keep barnacles off the side of the ship. Usually the ship would be riding just below that line to account for wake or other disturbances splashing the barnacles up against the side of the ship. If your waterline is RIGHT at the red paint line, there's no protection just above the water.

[@ryans413]

G deck is right where the black paint end and the red starts. The ship actually had a bit of red above the water. He added a little too much weight

[@somethingtojenga]

@@ryans413 That's... exactly what I said

[@vonSchwarzschild]

But the remote-controlled iceberg on a scale of 1:200 is still missing.

[@pricelessppp]

With titan sub! 😂

It needs to sink too! Add some water tight compartments so it sinks right!!!

[@TitanicLover401]

Ordered mine yesterday! Can’t wait for it to arrive!

[@theamazingadventuresofjohn]

Where do you order one?

[@spaceskipster4412]

Did it sink on its maiden voyage…? 🌊🚢 🤣

[@SSNFastAttack]

Nice video. The curvature that you see in the hull and subsequently the superstructure is called sheer. I've found that to minimize the detachable decks warped appearance required sliding it backwards angled just a tad, thereby landing the aft portion of the superstructure 1st followed by the bridge. It keeps that unsightly gap in the back from showing or becoming so pronounced. Also, don't over tighten the center screws or it bends the deck as well. Cheers

[@JohnVHRC]

Thats a beauty!

[@nickademuss42]

the "rigging" between the masts at the top is the antenna for the wireless morse system

[@DadsRCHangar]

Another orsum detailed Ship. I want her, let’s hope EU store will be back in stock soon. You know I need one James 😉

[@firebythewater4477]

Love the detail. Pretty sure the water didn't get that high on the sides when it was underway. May have to buy this just for display.

Awesome model

Wondering if they ever think about doing our famous great lake ore freighter "Edmund Fitzgerald" that would be my dream to see. Im pretty sure many others.

[@patrickh4540]

Edmund Fitzgerald would be awesome. I'm going to put Gordon Lightfoot on right now.

[@trixta16]

The waterline is a little to high. Aside from that, great model!

[@jackbrechwald8344]

Why are the life boats uncovered. Doesn’t it rain in the Atlantic?

[@dedekcze7152]

Maybe stupid idea but why don't replaced these screws with some strong magnets and opening without screwing?

[@ENZO234258]

Does it come included with a floating iceberg?

[@MotionRC]

Plenty of foam in the box to make one!

[@J.AbrahamAnchundiaPaz-ju3vq]

​@@MotionRCen la caja dices te refieres a la tina pequeña que tienes

[@Titanic_person-1912]

I got a suggestion for a 2.0 version of that ship (if there ever be one) could you add the watertight bulkheads aka big non roof top walls in the bottom, and if possible could you add an iceberg that can float as well as make a small door at the front right bottom side of the ship and make it open and close to let water in? As well as make it all water proof? That would be amazing if you did that!

[@Sunnywolf2001]

They gotta do Olympic and Britannic as well

[@emilbt7588]

If someone wants a ready to run 1/200 titanic then i could see this ond being tempting. I would personally just buy the trumpeter kit and convert that to rc. It'd be more work but probably a bit cheaper and it includes lights.

[@StreamwoodExplorer]

Cheaper? Highly unlikely. Reliable? Not even remotely.

[@emilbt7588]

@@StreamwoodExplorer the kit can be bought for 350€ where i am at and the rc equipment would je around 150-200€ at least.

[@ministryofanti-feminism1493]

@@emilbt7588 How much is your time worth? It would take MANY man-hours to complete the Trumpeter to a high RC standard.

[@CitizenMio]

​@@ministryofanti-feminism1493 I don't think anyone would really want to build one just to save money. Upfront cost can be lower, as you can spread out your purchases as you build. But primarily people who build them would do it because that's a huge part of the fun for them. Obviously that's not true for everyone, so it's great that those people have this option. But I thought the same as OP, for that amount and given I'd still change quite a lot of things. I'd rather build my own. (And then end up spending the same if not more and work on it for half a decade. But that's fine by me ;)

[@JavierJaimes-uy5ln]

I might get this when I save up enough money

Damn those are SS United States speeds! Ive got the "other" rc Titanic thats much smaller but illuminated and WAY slower. Would you happen to know if the forecastle and bow have a waterproof deck as well? No way i wouldn't be taking this out during a storm. Mine isn't very watertight.

[@dhdz89]

In terms of accuracy, how does this compare with the 1:200 Trumpeter model?

[@inpaeingles2802]

Question, why not add a revs reduction device? Watching Titanic speeding up like a pT boat is quite ridiculous. Otherwise, great job...

[@JacksonSubNScaleModelRailroad]

You missed the most important piece of information about the ship. How much did it cost?

[@yiman7370]

My problem is those screws, the lack of windows in the hull, and NO LIGHTS, also the hull is too thick wich would be unrealistic. I prefer the trumpeter model

[@michaelhernandez6065]

@Motion RC I have a question. Could you buy it already built or you have to build it yourself?

[@MotionRC]

This model comes ready to run. All built up, just have to add a few accessories

[@nascarnbroncosfans6055]

Is the Trumpeter 1:200 kit your base model? - the stern screw warning sign is on the wrong side of the railing

[@businessdevelopmentofficej2747]

is it true this 1/200 scale Titanic has been discontinued ? This is what I'm hearing , the manufacture of all the 1/200 scale has closed up the 1/220 scale line

[@hobbyavenue6740]

When do you think these will be in stock again ?

[@Manwholikestrains]

Technically the waterline should be just ever so slightly below the line where the black and red meet like 1-2 millimetres below it

[@ΔημητρηςΡαπτης-ζ6χ]

hello, this model of the titanic has a smoke effect and a lighting effect, thank you

[@giggling_boatswain]

6:59 In fact, no one knows how many blades the central propeller had. All available photos are photos of Olympic propellers, not Titanic. It is known that the White Star Line Company experimented with different propellers with different numbers of blades. There are reports of this. The three-blade gave more speed, but also more vibration compared to the four-blade. The central screw of the Titanic is hidden under the soil. The central screw did not have a reverse and worked only in the forward direction. The drive was from a steam turbine using exhaust steam after reciprocating engines (the energy of such steam was still enough to spin the steam turbine). Piston engines drove the side propellers.

[@ze_german_kraut]

I think a few years back, they found a Harland & Wolff Engineering Book with all their Ships Config. Stating that Titanic and Britannic both used 3 Propeller Blades where Olympic used 4 Blades to Test it out. But i think they changed it back afterwards to 3 Blades on the Olympic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fovVnmpvnNGlnac

[@corvidflight19]

They showed them on one of the dives down to it's rusting place in the Atlantic, on a documentary. I can't remember witch one. But they found the number 401 on the propeller, and that's how they proved that it was the Titanic, and wasn't switched as the conspiracy theory said!

[@anglishbookcraft1516]

Add some coal as a historically accurate ballast

[@ryans413]

You added a little too much weight there was a little red above the waterline when the ship sailed

[@russellstone9056]

Design flaw; they used unfinished plywood under the superstructure which warps badly and causes excessive sheer (curvature) which looks horrible. The only solution is to drill and glue nuts under the rear deck near the aft part of the superstructure. Drill through the superstructure and deck on top of the main hull so the holes align perfectly. When the nuts are good and dry, screw the aft part of the superstructure down flush. You can heat the bottom of the superstructure with a hairdryer on medium or high heat and it will flatten out so it will be easier to screw down flush. Why they did not add screws to the rear of the superstructure is a good question. Motion didn't have any parts. So I purchased small machine screws and nuts and washers from Home Depot. I glued the nuts to washers before attaching them under the holes drilled in the deck. The washers add extra reinforcement in the area. Maybe overkill but I didn't want any deformities in the deck from warping pressure. Looks much better.

[@dougg2012]

Now all they need to do is make one that sinks and splits and I will be happy for the rest of my life.

[@marumiyuhime]

there is a fundamental dif between a boat and a ship. titanic is a ship not a boat. a boat when it turns rotates inward like an airplane turning. a ship rotates outward from the turn axis like a truck on the road. hope you learned something. but cool model too bad you cant reduce the viscosity of water by 200x so you get a true wake. its like shes in syrup but its a cool effect. the des. was amazingly hydrodynamic the reason why people just put the ballast in is so it settles as low in the ship as possible. you want the centre of gravity as low as possible making it stable. think about the real ship and where the weight is. what is the heaviest thing in the ship. it was the 2 trip expansion engines. these were mounted mid ship. see if your ballast is in the bow and stern your response will be low because the inertia will be higher in rotation. you basically just want to put a block a steal in the rotation centre of the ship giving you a pivot point or even something heavier like copper. once you have your main ballast in you trim the bow and stern with a little weight as possible to maximize turning performance. you ballast then balance in that order. i hope this helps you in the future. cheers.

[@alexbenis4726]

The windows are not cut out properly on A deck, the super structure decks are painted plastic that clash with the wood veneer stuck on rest of the decks. Those square white boxes hiding the retaining screws look ridiculous and the water line is to high. You would be better off building the 1:200 Trumpter kit with wooden deck extras motorizing it.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

The Trumpeter is for very experienced modelers and requires hundreds of hours of work, especially when you add the upgrade kits. Those who will buy this RC model will do so precisely because it is ready to use, with an amazing level of detail for a model already assembled and painted. This is not the same audience at all. Just like me who, at the same scale, chose the Lego version...😅
