I glued this submarine, which became famous mainly because of its unfortunate fate. For me, it is interesting mainly because it is a deep submersible submarine and also because the disaster happened during the dive to the wreck of the Titanic.
A few words about the original:
The company acquired a submersible vessel, Antipodes, and later built two of its own: Cyclops 1 and Titan. In 2021, OceanGate began taking paying tourists in the Titan to visit the wreck of the Titanic. As of 2022, the price to be a passenger on an OceanGate expedition to the Titanic shipwreck was US$250,000 per person.
In June 2023, Titan imploded during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck site, killing all 5 occupants on board. An international search-and-rescue operation was launched and, on June 22, the wreckage was found on the seabed near the Titanic wreck site.
The model can be downloaded from paperhobby. The hull is quite nicely finished, but the details are missing, so I completed them according to the available photos and the 3D model... I modified the following things:
-ship screws added to all engines
- added 5 reflectors
-glazed visor
- added rivets, antenna and cabling
-I made a simple mat
and that's about it... a few photos:
