Titanic: Honor & Glory

Hi folks, Kyle here for some more much-needed updates! Beams upon beams upon beams... Springing forward from the last structural update a bit, work has been ongoing with beams, starting with B Deck and moving down and fore-aft. The color-coded blockout shown before was simply a guide, THESE are the

It's been a while since our last big update for THG and Project 401, so here's a look at the latest! THG & P401 Recap - 2024 Q3 & 4 (YouTube)

Not much to see so far, just starting to work through the plating for more watertight bulkheads.

The first Kyle Update of 2024! Happy New Year to all, I hope this year has been good to you so far! Now that I have basic frames in place, I've been working on some stuff in the aft part of the ship. Specifically, the shaft tunnels. The shaft tunnels were compartments at the stern of the ship, locat

I know, no updates from me for months, now suddenly a bunch. I should be taking a couple days to enjoy the holidays, yet here I am, a couple hours before the ball drops, getting a start on one of the watertight bulkheads. This bulkhead is WTB O at Frame 111 Aft, one of the furthest aft bulkheads. I

Kyle here: Since my last update I've finished the initial run of hull frames, pretty much outline all the hull curvature and providing the main guidance I need to work on a bunch of other areas. These last frames fill in the fore and aft ends of the hull and include the frames in the counter stern.

Season's Greetings! First off, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and happy New Year! Included here are 25 screenshots taken in the Belfast scene I made earlier this year, which itself stems from the Belfast scene we made for Demo 3 back in 2017. The gantry allows for lots of fun views of the sh

Hi all, Kyle here! I'm a bit late with this update since I intended to do it on March 31st, but better late than never. March was a VERY slow month for me, so this will be a more general THG update. Work on the structural model has been mainly with hull frames, and it's is a hugely tedious process.

Kyle here - Happy to tell you all that I've begun the process of making the ship's frames. These are steel channel "beams" that form the ribs of the ship. They're what the hull plating and deck beams are riveted to. In some places they are partly replaced by larger and more robust web frames for ext

Hi folks, Kyle here again! Over the last month or so I've made some faster progress than usual, though there's still a long, long path ahead. Here's a quick rundown of what's been done: SHELL PLATING I mostly finished adjusting the bottom shell plating of the hull. This involved adjusting the meshes

Modeling continues for the wing tank floors or brackets. Pretty much every one is unique in some way, so each one has to be adjusted as I place them. Easy, but tedious. The good news is it'll probably be a bit sooner that I'll start working on vertical hull frames, as the brackets beyond the ends of

It's been a rather slow month, including another week or so where I couldn't get much done. But most of all this part of the ship has definitely proven to be the most difficult. The lackluster documentation, interplay of parts, and the sheer amount of curvature in this part of the ship lead to some

Hey folks, It's been nearly a month since my last update and I'm sure you're all wondering what I've been up to. Initially I was making a bit of progress on the floors (frames) for the double bottom, however I quickly realized there were some major issues with the models I had missed. It happens and

Kyle here, just a quick update on structural model progress. I more or less finished blocking out the lightening holes and some other aspects of the double bottom, so it was time to start working on the actual models for the tank floors. For those still out of the loop, the "floors" are the vertical

As James mentions in the video, every month around the 15th, we post a pretty sizable update from various members of the team. Best part is, these updates are available instantly for everyone! So we hope that all of our Patrons and Non-Patrons enjoy this monthly update for the month of August! For m

As you've probably seen, I have started to work on the double bottom structure. However, there's only so much that can be done with the double bottom until some details are worked out. Specifically, the layout of lightening holes in the bottom floors as well as intercostals. The double bottom consis

With enough plating blocked out, I decided to start work on the double bottom structure. I started with the center keelson which ranges in height from 5' 3" to 6' 3" under the engines with some variation at the bow and stern. This center keels connects to the keel plates and bars and tank top platin

Kyle here. This is just a quick update to let you all know that I hate the keel to stem transition and I'm still not sure if the plating is totally correct here. That said, it looks good enough and so I can move on to the next strake (G). I look forward to leaving the plating behind for a while afte

Kyle here with another little update! With the plating strakes plotted out and translated to the hull mesh, I've already begun to extrude the hull plates, one strake, one plate at a time. I've started with the innermost plates along the bottom, strake "B" to be exact. So far I've made it out to stra

The first hull plates have been extruded! These are the innermost plates on the bottom, or second-innermost if you count the keel plates that were already done along the keel. This would be strake B. The strakes (or rows of plates) are lettered A to Z, so only 25 strakes to go... also a few extra in

No giant update here, just a few quick screen grabs of the hull work so far. Curves of hull plate strakes are mostly worked out, will hopefully ~soon~ start extruding the first of the plates, starting with the bottom and innermost plates.

Above: Curves laid out for shell plating on the new hull. Kyle here again! Currently I am plotting the layout of the strakes of steel plates on Titanic's hull. I gave a little preview earlier, but I'd like to talk about it a bit more now, as well as why I'm doing this work, what the benefits will be

Kyle here! Just a quick preview of what I'm working on now, which is plotting out the lines of the shell plating on the hull. This is a tedious task that has to be done before I can move to some other aspects of the model I'd like to, like frames. I'm also hoping to get the bottom plating out of the

FROM THE TEAM - This is going to be a big update when it comes to pictures. Hope you enjoy it! FROM JAMES - Hello from the open sea! My contract aboard this cruise ship is finally winding down and it is certainly a bitter sweet feeling. I am excited to return to land in under a month but sad to leav
