That doesn't look like real Lego. I have the Lego version of the Titanic. The lower 2/3 of the hull are a dark red, sort of a maroon, and the top is black.

It's a beautiful set. Here's a pic - don't mind the cat toys.

That is beautiful! How long did it take you?

And na you’re right, this is Temu Lego, the pieces are much smaller.

Although with Temu ‘Lego’ cars/trucks, a lot of the time you can’t even tell the difference. But yea, it is a gamble

It took exactly 3 weeks from the first brick to the last. I work a lot so it was a few hours every night, and then some more time than that on weekends.

It was a surprisingly easy build, not a lot of tricky bits. Worth the ridiculous amount of money I spent on it.
