Hello there.
After more than 5 months of work I am finally ready to present my latest and hopefully final builds of the Olympic Class! The first to release is the Olympic, the first in the trio. Launched in 1909, she was the first of a new class meant to challenge Cunard's Lusitania and Mauretania. The Olympic was built by Harland & Wolff and operated by the White Star Line, and sailed on her successful maiden voyage from Southampton to New York on the 14th of June, 1911. She would go on to have an equally successful career, serving until 1934 when she was retired and scrapped. Olympic, despite serving the longest in the trio, is perhaps the least well-known due to her two sisters' untimely demises, with Titanic striking an iceberg and sinking in 1912 and Britannic hitting a sea mine and sinking in 1916.
This build is in the 1.8.1 scale and is 484 blocks long and 51 blocks wide. Included in the world download is a version of the ship with added water wake and smoke effects, and one version without. The build has full interiors. The world download is in Java Edition, so no Bedrock. Sorry!
Hope you enjoy!
Special thanks to Dooku200 for help with various rooms and SilentaCraft for help in building many of the public rooms and cabins.

I am incredibly impressed by your work on Olympic. There are so many wonderful details lined throughout the exterior that did not obscure or take away the look of the ship. Even now I am finding so many wonderful building techniques that blend in with the ship so well that I find myself going "oh that's clever" every time I notice it. The hull is so well sculpted, I was pleased with how it looked at multiple angles. As someone who stressed over hull design and looks, it is pleasing to see one so well made. The interior is beautiful and has the perfect balance of detail while not obscuring as much space as it can. I love how each room has its own feel to it, one that is sets each area of the ship a part. The first class rooms feel so brightly lit from the grimy, dusty boiler rooms. It hits every mark on a ship I'd ever want to make.
Wonderful job all around! Thanks for sharing!
