Seven foot model of the RMS Titanic made out of LEGOs, sinking in my swimming pool. This model was designed to be huge, while being simpleenough to be built fast and cheaply, so there are quite a few details that were left out, mainly on the boat deck, nonetheless I think it still looks great.

THIS MODEL DOES NOT BREAK IN HALF
I was not trying to replicate how the ship sank, as that would be surely impossible to do with LEGO, but instead I am merely sinking my model I built.

This model is 7'5" long, and is constructed with roughly 8,500 LEGO bricks. The model weighs 33 pounds. To get this model to sink, it is filled with coins, to pull it under.

  • Interested in building something like this? Here is a reproduction of this model built in LEGO Digital Designer. You would need this free software installed to view it, this is the closest thing I have to offer as far as BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS. The model can serve as a reference to copy should you choose to do so. Be warned to build this would require many hundreds of dollars worth of LEGO!

    I remember watching this video for my first time around 4 or 5 years ago, and the nostalgia hits hard.

    It’s so cool how the stern actually lifts up in the air while the bow sinks just like the event.

    4:12 Great idea to use the side of the pool to simulate the iceberg!
    4:24 1st person view of a Lego Titanic passenger!

    It's so impressive to see that the physics don't change disregarding the size of the ship, that alone shows how awesome your build is :)
  • @TitanicHG
    Ya need that disclaimer at the beginning of the video, or else everyone will flip out :P Great work- love the model!

    Well done with both the dedication and commitment, as well as the effort to keep rebuilding the model to get the right sinking montage.

    I respect you, for reassembling the titanic every time it failed
