Re-enacting The Titanic
It was an event like no other in history. It happened over a century ago, and people are still talking about it!
People are still buying the soundtrack, and watching the movie, and getting into the details of just what led to the tragic wreck of this major ocean liner in its maiden voyage in 1912.
They’re pondering quotes like these:
“Icebergs loomed up and fell astern and we never slackened,” said Arthur H Rostron, commander of the rescue ship, the RMS Carpathia.” It was an anxious time with the Titanic’s fateful experience very close in our minds.”
This many years later, for that to still be so fresh in our mind, and dominant in popular culture, speaks to the resounding impact that such events have in history.
Our Titanic Model Kit
Cobi has a unique signature set to remember the historic event, and allow buyers to enjoy the challenge of putting together a complex model kit with 21st century technology.
25 inches long and 7.5 inches high, the Titanic set comes with a numbered plate showing that this kit is part of a limited edition set – it also includes a Capt. Edward Smith mini-figure, and a model of the actual iceberg responsible for the original Titanic's destruction
With 1100 pieces, this is going to give constructors hours of entertainment and challenge as they put this Titanic model together. Technically rated at age 8+, it's recommended for children 10 years of age and over.
This is just one of the incredible model kits that Cobi sells based on our unique interlocking block technology, and it's a popular one this Christmas season, as the Titanic continues to fly off of the shelves. Again, people are remembering the legacy of the over 2000 passengers on board, the captain and staff, and everyone impacted by this grievous happening at sea.
So there’s the Titanic model kit, and then there are all over those other designs that we ship all over the place. Looking back on the blog, you see more about our business philosophy and strategy as we bring an old pastime to a new generation.
Putting together models was a very common practice in the days before TV and streaming media. It's a good break from screen time, and something you do with your hands, something analog instead of digital to help balance out your leisure time. Parents frustrated with endless hours of screens can get a neat and engaging alternative for kids who are fascinated by not only the historic events that the models are based on, but by the technology that they represent!
