Minicraft Models Deluxe RMS Titanic 1/350 Scale

This model is one that I've had my eye on building for a while, and after seeing a great deal on Amazon.com, I decided to buy the kit. The photo-etched railings look like they'll add a great amount of detail to the model, and I can't wait to assemble it!

Recommendations for Modelers: I would recommend purchasing more photo-etched parts from a dealer such as Toms Modelworks [...] or Gold Medal Models [...] for even greater detail to your model. I have not even added them to the model yet, but once you see them, you know they can't look bad. As always, patience is a virtue, so do your research on how to correctly apply the parts and paint the kit. I am also planning on drilling out the portholes and installing lights on the inside of the ship; they require 3/64 and 1/16 drill bits, if I recall correctly.

As stated before, do your research! There are plenty of places online to help you build the model of your dreams, such as the Titanic Research and Modeling Association [...] and Model Warships [...] to name a few. Don't be afraid to join their forums and ask for advice...these modelers know what they're doing!

Titanic 14" Model Cruiseship - Already Built Not a Kit - Wooden Ship Model Cruise Ship Replica Scale Model Boat Nautical Home Beach Wall Décor or Gift

I purchased this model for my son who has a great fascination for the Titanic. I wouldn't call it a toy. It's more of something to display than to play with. Having said that, my son LOVED it!!! He knows just about everything there is to know about the Titanic so he "played" with it as he ran through the scenarios of how the Titanic went down. He proudly displays it on his shelf and loves how realistic it is. It was worth every penny!

RC SYMA 28" Racing Boat R/C Electric Powered Wind Speed Motor Ship Radio Remote Control Yacht Cruiser

The product arrived on time. The packaging is very cheap, but the product was in decent shape. My son and I went through 3 PX-16's, all with different defective issues. We chose this boat as the replacement. The boat has two slightly smaller motors, but do not overheat because of a fan set up where the motor attaches to the prop shaft. The product comes without the stickers attached, which is a plus becasue you can choose the ones you want and can actually put them on correctly. The antenna for the remote is hidden behind a piece of paper taped to the styrofoam in the box. Overall, the boat is great so far. Plenty of speed for a 10 year old and I have to admit that it has his father hooked on getting a brushless boat setup later on down the road. The battery included is not very good. I purchased an Amazon.com combo back that included 2 Tenergy 7.2V 3800MA batteries and a 2 hour charger (use the Tamiya connectors). In my opinion this purchase is a necessity so that you and your child can enjoy the boat. We get approximately 20 min of solid (good speed) run time per battery. After a 10 min cooldown for the motors and quick clean up of minimal water that gets inside, we pop in the other battery and go again. By the time we drain the second battery the first is almost charged up. The price on the combo charger is almost the price of the boat, but well worth it and can be used on other batteries. The boat handles well in the water with a fairly decent turning radius. The dual props create an impressive rooster tail and speed is impressive for its price. I wire tied the wiring to each motor to clean up the inside of the boat and this makes it easier to replace the battery.
