I sure hope that the sinking didn't ruin anything major on your model!
BTW: The Revell model sinks this way, at least in 1988: When I got a new Revell to put together, I took my old one out to the swimming pool and sat her in the water, holding her rudder because it immediately wanted to capsize. After a minute I let go of the rudder and the ship sank slowly by the hed. Once the water flooded the forward well deck, she tipped to port and slid under like the Andrea Doria. The boat planed away and hit the bottom of the pool nose first. I think a funnel fell off and some of the davits. After this, the model was cannabalized for parts for the new Revell.
An somewhat interesting twist to Titanic model construction, eh?
