NOTICE! "TINTANIC" EXHIBITION is currently preparing for the International World Tour! COMING 2025!
STUDIO 401 *(PTY) Ltd. proudly presents the “TINTANIC” - the largest TITANIC model in Africa - made of “tin”.
It is a giant 8.7 meter *(27 ft.) 1:29 scale replica of the ill-fated famous ocean liner that hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean while on its maiden voyage in 1912 and sank with a tremendous loss of life. The model was created by local South African artist Gino Hart over a period of three years, and proudly sponsored by Vinolia - the original advertiser for the real TITANIC in 1912! |
In 2017, the "TINTANIC" started up her three screw propellers and began a countrywide TOURING EXHIBITION which lasted five years, docking at 20 prime shopping locations in 6 major Provinces, covering a distance of more than 10 000 kilometers and showing to an audience of more than ten million visitors.
It is an artwork with the power to encourage you to dream, therefore it is called the ship of dreams. The "TINTANIC" has never been late for a single arrival or departure on her five-year Interprovincial TOUR. |

The "TINTANIC" is so BIG that she was originally designed and constructed in six interlocking sections. Each section is unique with its own features. In 2017, the forward three sections were joined to form one solid half measuring *(4.2 meters) and the aft three sections were also joined to form the other solid half *(4.5 meters). There was only a slight reduction in width which allowed the model to move through most South African doorways - most importantly - her own studio doors.
