Titanic is here, yay! ![]()
Well, the platform that will hold it, that is. I know, I know, it’s a slow start, but it’s a start! And I’ve decided to take my proper time, go slow with it, enjoy the way, and really sit one time for each one of the 15 steps in the manual. Some steps are shorter and some are longer, but hey, I’m here for it!
Warning: the forecast is that my Titanic posts won’t be short ![]()
Step 1/15 basically means “try the lights and build the base”. So first thing I did was to try the lights, of course. You have the main panel with USB-C connection, and then it comes with two wires: the one with many lights through it as we’re used to see in their kits (I guess it’s the one that’ll go “hanging” over the ship) and another one with a bigger single yellow light at the very end (maybe that’ll light the “room showcase”?).
After that, the build of the base is pretty straightforward; I’m noticing two things here:
- Since the wires are coming from inside the base, I’ll be moving them and turning them around the whole build
- Instead of for example the Seahorse Barque, which you just “put” on the base, the Titanic will go fixed to his base, so you won’t be able to (or shouldn’t) remove it from it
Another thing I’m not that used to but it’ll be a “do and get used to” easy thing is the double sided tape. See the white square in the image? It comes with a lot of little parts of three different sizes and I’m gonna have to use them a lot to stick things together, probably the decorative paper parts (I’m guessing mostly for the “inside room showcase” part). It’s a interesting concept! I don’t know if this is something you usually find in Nooks or Miniature Houses? Since I haven’t built any of those yet ![]()
So I already had to used the first “S” ones (for small I guess, since the other ones are “M” and “L”) to stick the “Rolife” logo to the part with the same shape:
And there you go! The result of it is the first image in the post. I’ll probably go with step 2 tonight, since I’m REALLY willing to start building the Titanic itself! Can’t wait ![]()
Oh, by the way, as you may have noticed in the main image, the Rolife logo looks a bit… Crooked? I didn’t realize it until I actually uploaded the picture lol. It’s already fixed! But yeah, the “holes” in which you have to place that logo are a bit tricky to work with.
Ah!
Last but not least and for whoever and whenever wanna build this wonder. Notice this:
I think this is a really clever thing they did, which is a disposable “part” that is removable (and it does nothing, you just throw it away). They show up in some areas where it may be tricky or harder to remove the parts without breaking or damaging them, so they work as some sort of “safe” that will fall when you remove that part making it easier for it to be… Well, removed ![]()
I’m just telling you this because this is the first time I see them, so when the first one or two fell down, I panicked a bit like “oh gosh, I’ve already broken something” ![]()
So this is it folks, my amazing Titanic journey just began! I’ll keep you updated again soon ![]()
PS: Notice the coordenates in the Rolife logo on the base? Supposedly it’s the precise location where you can find the remains of the sunken Titanic ![]()
