The entire world knows the tragic tale of the RMS Titanic. The largest passenger ship ever to be made considered un-sinkable, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. The story of the RMS Titanic was further romanticized by the Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio starrer Titanic. At the time it was made in 1912, the Titanic was an engineering feat. White Star Line had aimed at entering the trans-Atlantic passenger market with the launch of the Titanic. Back in 1912 it was the most luxurious way of crossing the ocean to America. Today, the closest one can come to the Titanic is by acquiring the RMS Titanic model.

Key Features Replicated in the RMS Titanic Model

Reputed model ship stores craft these models with utmost care and meticulousness. The following are some of the main features of a high quality RMS Titanic model:

• Material Used

A good quality RMS Titanic model should be made of high quality wood and metal. Look out for models that are made out of teak wood, brass and copper metals. This is because teak wood is sturdy and at the same time it can be carved into shape very nicely. Copper and brass are metals that do not rust. Avoid buying models that are not made with good quality wood and steel. Steel rusts easily and as result the wires and plates might break before their time.

• Attention to Detail

A good quality RMS Titanic model will be made with very high level of attention to details. The insides and the various decks will be well constructed and made to resemble the actual ship as closely as possible. Some models even come with miniature furniture in them. Some models are made with little LEDs fixed in them to illuminate the beauty of the ship in the evening. The more detailed the model is the higher its cost will be.

• Size

The Titanic was the largest ship of its time, with nine decks and a passenger capacity of over 2,000 people. A RMS Titanic model built to scale should be large enough to emphasize the majesty of this mighty steam-liner. Buying a model that is large will do justice to the grand Titanic.

A RMS Titanic model is a wonderful addition to the connoisseur’s collection. The tragedy of the Titanic makes it an even more valuable ship model to have in one’s collection.
