Summary: Terrific Model and Book!
Comment: My son had to do a report on the Titanic. I thought I knew a lot about it, but this book is full of interesting facts and diagrams that taught my husband and I a few things! Of course, the model was my son's favorite part, and I have to agree that it's fantastic!
The scale model is 16 inches long, pre-painted, and has 19 accessories. It floats in the tub, you slide a switch on the bottom, and a jagged gash opens where it got "hit" by the iceburg. The hull then begins to sink, and the ship splits in two and both pieces "plunge" to the bottom. You can do this over and over again. My kids still haven't tired of it, and I'll probably be ordering another one for his younger brother.
Needless to say, this was a BIG hit with my son's class. He was proud of his demonstration, and I think it motivated him to work a little harder on his report. I recommend this product without reservation.

Summary: Fantastic detail, great idea and concept
Comment: I love this thing, and so does my Titanic fanatic 5 yr old son.
When playing Titanic in the tub, he was always enacting the sinking part, which he was very particular about, insisting that the stern goes up, then it breaks in two, then the back spins around, and sinks as the front sinks as well.
When I saw this item, I just had to get it. And I wasn't disappointed at all.
It's a very detailed, hand painted model, and simple to assemble. The mechanism is ingenious. The two halves fasten together well, and the boat will float.
To activate the sinking, you slide a lever, which opens a simulated gash in the hull, right at the proper spot. This allows the water in, which floats a plastic float attached in a see-saw manner to a latch. When the water reaches a certain level, it trips the latch and the two halves fall apart, complete with jagged breaks!
It's really cool!
If you have a child who is into the Titanic, or even if you're a Titanic buff yourself, you'll love this!
The book is helpful and very well done to boot!

Summary: Great book and model
Comment: I purchased this for my 5-year old son who LOVES everything about the Titanic, the book was great, he read it in just a couple of days and learned alot. It has a lot of good information about the Titanic, the whole family learned something. The model is great, even for his younger brother. Great in the tub or pool. It was easy to put together. My kids loved it so much I am ordering another to send to a friend's child who is also interested in the Titanic.
