    We intended this to be a sinking Titanic video with an on-board camera, but temperatures were too cold for the waterproof camera to operate, so that'll have to wait until spring.
    In the meantime, here's the 30" Titanic model from our other videos, this time shot from different angles and including sound - listen for the whistling of air escaping during the final plunge. The model is by Academy-Minicraft, with custom modifications including "iceberg damage" and special interior compartmentalization and sealing. Considering it's been 2 years since the last sinking of this model, we think it's held up pretty well.
    Approximate time for this sinking was three minutes. I have slowed the video by 25% from the 1:10 mark onward.
    Thanks for your continued interest!

    @freerunneris Yeah, I was wondering when someone would make that accusation. The fishing line is for recovery only; I don't pull on it till the thing's on the bottom and I need to get it back. The reason the model starts sinking faster at 1:25 is because that's the point at which there's finally enough of a weight/buoyancy imbalance to cause a critical loss of stability. After that point, any ship sinks very quickly. See our other videos.
    But if you'd rather just scream "FAKE," that's fine.

    Captain: "The captain always goes down with his ship."

    Captain: "Goodluck with that."

    It sank so slowly, it looked amazing.

    I have searched the 7 internets to find a good image of the damage for one of my own models and I remembered your videos from a few months ago. Thank you

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  14 лет назад +6

    @manxD3 Thanks! Bought the model from a hobby shop - it's meant to be a static model for display; I had to do custom modifications to make it float (at first), then sink.

    Best Titanic Sinking Sequence yet. You did a good job, showing the second half staying up a little bit, like it did in the movie.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  13 лет назад +4

    @MrDunkJunk Thanks for the compliments! This model is actually polystyrene (plastic) painted with enamel, so it's holding up very well. Only sinking damage so far is some corrosion on the railings, which are part of a brass detailing kit.

    Very true re: the earlier model. I built the 30" model seen here with much more attention to how fast the water was entering the hull, and how I could slow or stop it.

  • @Rapidnadion

    Pulled it right back to the surface with the fishing line mentioned at the top of the video. Too many man hours spent on this thing to let it sit on the bottom forever.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  14 лет назад

    @BigDenny1020 Yeah, I definitely ran into that problem earlier on. The issue is that once the well deck/fo'c'sle is under, you have both more opportunity for water to enter the ship (and so a greater flow rate), and a ship that's more unstable (and thus a faster tipping propensity). Can't do anything about the instability, but you *can* seal the upper decks as much as possible to reduce the flooding rate - which is what I did.

    @Rapidnadion  14 лет назад

    @plusplusplusplusp You got it - all paint is enamel, not water-based. All the adhesive is either waterproof superglue, CA glue, or waterproof caulk.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  14 лет назад

    @historyfan1000 Bulkheads are plastic, affixed with waterproof caulk. Iceberg damage was as easy as heating an X-Acto knife, then painting some of the scrape details.

    @brickerproductions Congrats on your new model! You've been a fan for a while, so you've definitely seen our website, and probably seen the how-to video we posted for the splitting Titanic model ... aside from those, we're kind of dry on tips. Post to our Facebook wall if you run into specific problems and we'll try to help!

  • @xvoy2002
    @xvoy2002 14 лет назад

    Bravo! Bravo!!! This pretty much replicated the exact sinking.. Quite amazing I must say.. The only thing i can add, is it would be fun to place a bunch of small white mice on there to simulate the people running to the rear of the ship as the water rose.. But quite a remarkable sinking for sure!

  • @MatheusStradivari
    @MatheusStradivari 13 лет назад

    The way it has sunk on your video unbroken portrays exactly what cientists has found out about its sinking. It sank entire and that made it float in vertical position, with its stern on the top for some minutes, but the heavy weight damaged its hull and when it finally plunged under water, some minutes later and meters from the water surface, it was torn apart into two pieces which dove into the ocean and ended up laid on the bottom of the sea about 500 meters apart from each other.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  13 лет назад

    @deathrider798 How do you figure? We retrieve it after every sinking, the sinkings don't damage the model, and we built it specifically to sink like this. Also, people enjoy watching it. Where's the waste?

  • @Pantbera
    @Pantbera 13 лет назад +2

    Brilliant! Very impressive. Now if you could just design a model that will tear through the body to simmulate the breaking and sepperations. It'll be a great breakthrough. My idea has always been to use very thin tinfoil that'll tear very easily when some light stress gets put on it. To get the stern to lift up vertically is actually very easy once the foil tore. Just put some weights right on the front of the stern at the bottom. It'll also help with the tearing.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  14 лет назад

    @Michael14gtb15 Bulkheads are made of scrap plastic (cut-up credit cards and floppy disks, I think). Berg damage was cut with a heated Exacto knife (be careful if you try this), then painted with gray detail.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  13 лет назад

    @avmf8 Did you miss the closeup of the iceberg damage at 00:22 ? There are a number of holes cut into the hull, which is how it floods. The interior is also subdivided with bulkheads like the real ship, which is why it sinks the way it does.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  13 лет назад +2

    @edd0jjr Thanks! This is as big as our models get - it's hard to find widely-available Titanic models bigger than 1/350 (30"). Our newer videos (the [Model Titanic Splits] series and the [Titanic Breakup Failures] series) are filmed at higher speed, allowing us to have smoother slow-mo playback, and the models appear to be bigger than they are in this video.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  13 лет назад

    @starwarsfandude Yeah; that happens with any of these models meant only for display, unless you weight them. You need to figure out the weight you need by floating the model in a bathtub (or other test basin) and gradually adding weight until it floats properly at the waterline. Then secure the weight to the interior; otherwise, it will slide all over the place and the model will become unstable.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  13 лет назад +1

    @massblast92 Haha - thanks a lot! We're due to have a splitting Titanic out by the end of summer (hopefully next month, if we can fix some minor problems). Stop by again!

  • @Rapidnadion

  • @Sunburn2007
    @Sunburn2007 14 лет назад +1

    Very well done. The pace of the sinking and the manner in which the ship physically sank were accurate. B+ overall. Why? Would have liked to have seen a more action of the ship sinking from the bow, the stern doesn't do it for me all the way through. An explanation as to how you managed to make the water flood so evenly would have been nice.
    And it breaking in two would have been cool if that was manageable.

  • @Rapidnadion
    @Rapidnadion  14 лет назад

    I believe the model has about 9 compartments, with special modifications to the aft-most and forward-most bulkheads and compartments. Thanks for the compliment!
