Tom’s Modelworks has released a 3D printed upgrade set for any of the 1/700 models of the ill-fated liner RMS Titanic. Some of you might have heard of this ship. I think they even made a movie, or two, about her. | |||||||||||||

1/700 TITANIC BOATS & DAVIT SET | |||||||||||||
This 3D printed set comes with one
print raft with 24 davits, and 22 smaller print rafts, each holding a single
boat.
Included with the set are the following boats:
The boats look great. You can pick out the planking details on the sides of the boats, along with the rope detail. Terrific detail for 1/700 scale! The 30' boats are printed with the chocks only on the inboard side of the boat, as it was on the real thing. Be careful when putting the boats onto your model so that you are placing them in the correct location. |

CONCLUSIONS | |||||||||||||
This 3D printed set of boats
& davits for the 1/700 Titanic is very well done. The printed
davits are particularly well done, and the boats also have nice details
on them - I really like the planking and rope detail. This will really
dress up those 1/700 kits out there. I only wish this set had been
available several years ago, when I built a 1/700
Academy
Titanic. Tom's Modelworks also offers this set in 1/400,
1/350 and 1/200. In the larger sets, you have to choose if you want
either stowed of deployed davits. Unlike this set, which gives you
both stowed and deployed davits, those larger sets only give one or the
other.
This is Tom's Modelworks set 700-16 Titanic boats and davits. The set lists for $30.00 USD, and is available directly from Tom's website. Thanks to Tom's Modelworks for this review sample, which is highly recommended! |
