106th Anniversary of the Titanic disaster
PatrickJoergensen posted a topic in System-Based Creations
Hello there! At the age of 27 I finally managed to bring a childhood daydream to life which took about 4 months because my left hand underwent surgery at the beginning of March due to a work injury which severed a tendon in my thumb. Allthough I've made previous builts of this iconic ship since the age of 11, it's only ever been with the bricks I had on hand - so imagine my wallet's sudden discomfort as I found out about Pick-A-Brick... Around $900 USD and a ton of research via fotos on both Google and in several books later, this is the final product of my current creativity capability. (Keep in mind the price is only for the new bricks; not including the majority of the hull and it's supporting interior I already had my hands on). Some liberty has of course been taken, as the scale isn't fit for every aspect of this project, so some parts of the superstructure have been changed for accomodations. Accessories such as benches have also been placed somewhat random. Measurements: Width: ~16cm (6.29 inches) Length: ~156cm (61.41 inches) Height: ~32cm (12.59 inches) from keel to top of smokestacks. Weight: Estimate is at around 8-10kg, but won't know for sure until my hand is fit enough to lift it. Amount of pieces: Somewhere between 8-10.000 bricks. As I haven't resized the pictures and they would be way to large for me to put them all in this thread, I'll instead put a link to my Brickshelf account where there are more to be found (you might have to wait a bit before the files go public, as I uploaded them today) :b Enjoy!

So remember that IPhone 6S that I got a few months ago? The same one that was the first smart phone I've ever owned? Yeah, well, I dropped it in a mud puddle today. I was walking around in a park looking for Pokemon on Pokemon Go (because I still play that) when I lost my footing for a second and my phone flew out of my hand and into the puddle. Thankfully, the mud only got on my case. Nothing was damaged or ruined on the phone. In fact, the mud got almost on all the back of it except for where the camera lens were located. If that isn't a miracle, I don't know what is. But like I said, my phone wasn't damaged from the incident. Though now I'm going to be a little more careful when trekking through muddy grass looking for Pokemon.
