A large number of 1st class rooms are already nearly complete, such as the Café Parisian, the Palm Courts, Smoking Room, Lounge, reading and writing room, A deck forward corridor and cabins, Gym, elevator gear room, Marconi wireless room, officers quarters corridors, B51 and it’s promenade, al la carte restaurant, Strauss suite, Turkish bath, swimming bath, mail room, baggage, and the squash court. Once that section is complete, only 1st class remains. This will contain the majority of the remaining spaces that are being added to V1.5. I will tease that the next targeted area will be the coal bunkers and new updated and enlarged boiler rooms. Those spaces have gotten some minor tweaks since you last saw them, but are otherwise identical. That’s mostly because you’ve already gotten to see the most notable spaces in 2nd class, such as the Library, and 2nd class smoking room. At the time of writing this, we’re just a few days away from getting that build out into the hands of our Q/A Team.Īs you may have noticed, visual sneak peeks of my work have been a little light in the last month. Since then, I have been prepping the 2nd class spaces for a dev build, and completing light bakes for those areas. However, I’m quite happy with the final result and it’s now officially got the green light to move into the upcoming V1.5 build of Demo401. The forward crew section of the ship has gone through our Q/A process, which has resulted in quite a lot of bug fixes and light-rebuilds to sort out the remaining issues, so this has demanded quite a lot of my time this past month. I hope you’re all doing well.Īnother productive month has gone by here, albeit a lot of it has gone on behind the scenes. I will be making my own post about the structural progress going into much more detail, so attached to this update is just a selection of images of the double bottom as it appears so far." Once those are done, I'll move on to some additional shell plating strakes and then the wing tank brackets. Despite that, I expect to be done with the inboard floors relatively soon. I imagine other areas will carry their own huge challenges, but the double bottom is certainly time-consuming. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I was starting with possibly the most difficult part of the ship. These patterns change as you go fore and aft and, outside of the amidships area, pretty much every double bottom floor is unique in some way. The actual process involved starting with a basic floor model, pasting it along adjusting for hull curvature each time, then changing it by deleting or adding lightening and limber holes as needed. As I move towards the far ends of the ship the floors get smaller with fewer lightening holes, but the more severe curves involved make the process slower. Of course it was rather slow at first, but things picked up speed as I moved and I now have most of the inboard tank floors (frames) nearly done with the exception of a polishing pass on the models for UVs and other checks. Once I figured all that out, work picked up again. I decided to take what time I could to refine the blockout of the floors and lightening holes and how I was going to do the majority of the floors in terms of workflow. In addition to that, there were a couple of weeks where I got little to no work done at times due to personal reasons. It happens and I hadn't gotten too far, so I decided to fix them. 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's been nearly a month since my last update and I'm sure you're all wondering what I've been up to. If you've already purchased the digital version, you can also check out the Britannic plan on the site now! If you can't wait a month or so, you can check out one of Britannic's decks now! With the purchase of the THG Digital Deck Plans Package on our website, which will give you access to the THG plan, a download of Britannic's D Deck is available. And thus, coming soon, we will introduce the RMS Britannic Deck Plans! So as we created the THG Deck Plans, we have converted them relatively smoothly to understand and further research Titanic and her sister in depth. As we study Britannic, we see a ship that's not only an OG Olympic-class vessel, but one with Titanic changes reflected deep in her design. One of the most vital assets in our toolbox are Titanic's sister ships. "To rebuild Titanic, the THG researchers discussed and investigated every possible source.
