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

Hey folks, I'm sorry for not posting some kind of update sooner. I've been meaning to make a post here for a while. It can be difficult to do these updates under the best of circumstances, but it's especially hard when there just isn't that much to update you on, or when it's any news other than "I'

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

Hi folks, Kyle here. It's been a month since Titanic Month ended and our last big update on here, so let's do some catching-up... TITANIC ARCHIVE In my previous updates, I talked about building a reference archive and scanning photos in our collection. This archive is an internal thing for the team

So it's been an annoyingly long time since my last update, and I've been meaning to post another one for a good minute. More Organizing A little while back I finally finished all the scanning and processing of that photographic archive we recently acquired. Unfortunately I pulled a Kyle and snowball

Hi all, Kyle here Not much to update on since my last non-story post, as we're still working on the internal team reference archive. After spending some time gathering up material and dividing it into folders for objects, we've taken some of that and started plugging it into another application whic

Hi folks, Kyle here. I was hoping to have more structural progress to show, but for the last week or so I've been involved in an ongoing effort with the team to finally, after all these years, get our research material and references into some semblance of real organization. For my part, I've mainly

Quick Kyle update this time: I've made more progress on the aft structure, mainly for the boss frames and the web frames located between the two wing propeller brackets/castings. Due to the propeller shafts and the need for extra strength, the steelwork is far more substantial here than in other par

Not much to say at the moment since I still have a lot to do in this area, but I'm making progress in the more complicated structural elements for the shaft tunnel. There are a lot of web frames and bracing to take into account. I've also made good progress on the boss frames, which are special shor

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, I figured it was about time to provide an update on my end of things as it's been a good while. Sadly I have not gotten any further structural work done the last few months, so there's nothing new to show there. I will instead try to recap what has happened since my last update, important bi

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

Not much to say here, just doing more Tank Top plating, so here are a few more images. Things get really weird towards the bow and stern, especially the stern in way of the dynamo rooms, fresh water tanks, and shaft tunnels.

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

Hi folks, Kyle here! I think it goes without saying it's been a while. My last update was just before (American) Thanksgiving, when I started taking time for the holidays. The remainder of November and good portions of December (Christmas and New Years) were like this as well. I was meaning to get a

Hi all, Kyle here: ~FLOORS~ Placement of the wing tank floors is done! It was a tedious process, but they're all in place with their lightening and limber holes figured out. This means all the floors are now in place, so only the wing brackets are left to do. However, I can skip the brackets for now

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

Not a huge update, nothing too special of note at the moment, just posting some new beauty shots as I continue to flesh out the double bottom with more floors. Those under the Turbine Room are done and a few more forward. The last image of the people lounging around shows the cutouts in some of the

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

It's getting to the point that we can almost see the shape of the ship coming together. Kyle's-always-required-notice: "Might want to mention though somehow that it's just a rough WIP preview to illustrate all the interior spaces that will be in 1.5/6, it hasn't had Derek's magic touch" With that sa
