Recently, Lego has released a replica model of the famous Titanic ship. This is one of the largest models the company has ever produced, with 9,090 pieces, promising to become an ideal model for those who love lego assembly as well as ship enthusiasts.
The Titanic model is divided into three sections, with extremely detailed interior designs, such as: a grand first-class staircase spanning six decks, a Jacobean-style restaurant and an engine room.
With its large size, the model also allows players to create some other amazing details, not just stopping at the lifeboat, cargo crane, swimming pool or promenade on the ship; players can also operate the details in the ship such as raising or lowering the anchor and adjusting the tension between the masts.
Mike Psiaki, a designer at the Lego Group, said the Titanic's voyage was a major inspiration for recreating the iconic ship from Lego pieces. "When it was launched, the Titanic was the pinnacle of naval engineering, the largest ocean-going vessel of its time."
“The design of the Lego Titanic focuses on small details and follows the absolute scale and precision, making Titanic one of our most challenging building experiences to date. We know that Lego builders and ship enthusiasts of all ages will love this product, build it and display it in their homes,” Psiaki expressed his hope.
The Lego Titanic model is over 1.3 meters long, including a plaque with the name of the ship. The model will be available for online orders from November 1, then it will be on the shelves of Lego stores starting November 8 for 629.99 USD (more than 14 million VND).
