COBI Historical Collection R.M.S Titanic 1:450 Model Building Block Set # 1929

During its maiden voyage, on the night of the 14th to 15th of April, 1912, on

the Southampton-Cherbourg-Queenstown-New York route, the British Trans-

American R.M.S Titanic ocean liner collided with an iceberg and sank. To this

day the accident is one of the most famous maritime disasters of all time and

still evokes strong emotions even now. The Titanic carried about 2,228 people

during the ill-fated voyage. It was 268.99 meters long and 29.41 meters wide.

The Titanic was a marvel of early 20th century technology. The ship's brick

model consists of 722 COBI building blocks. When built, it is 64 cm long and

15 cm high. Numerous details create the scale of 1:450 and faithfully

reproduce the shape and body of the legendary original. The set contains

several moving elements. This edition is equipped with rotating wheels mounted

on the flat bottom of the ship. With a little builder's help, the ship can

"swim" on flat surfaces such as the floors, carpets or tables. Thanks to this,

the collector's model also becomes a toy. You can also move the cranes, screws

and the rudders. The manual uses a system of simple icons and pictograms,

which will easily guide you through the construction process. The Titanic

brick model does not require gluing or painting. All graphics and inscriptions

are printed in the form of very durable prints that do not smear or scratch or

fade under the influence of sun, water or even very intense fun. No stickers

were used in the model. The kit is recommended to persons over 8 years of age.

It will certainly bring a lot of satisfaction to both the youngest fans of

bricks as well as adult enthusiasts of history and nautical engineering. The

R.M.S Titanic model is sure to look spectacular both on the collector's desk

and in every teenager's or child's room.
