Description
Research Vessel: a ship model inspired by modern icebreakers and survey ships, with a swing jib crane, a bathyscaphe and a pendulum-regulated drive.
A rubber band motor supplies the power and a pendulum regulates it. The gears in this assembly are arranged to imitate the sound of a diesel engine and keep the ship moving at a smooth, steady pace. A lever lets you choose one of three movement modes: forward, turning or automatic manoeuvring.
Use the swing jib crane to lift the bathyscaphe, the deep-sea diving sphere, out of the water and secure it on its platform. The skeleton-style hull gives you a view into the cargo hold and the engine room. A project for several evenings – 575 parts, about 10 hours.
Key features:
- Swing jib crane with platform for the bathyscaphe
- Motorboat and lifeboat
- Drop ramp and opening hold hatch
- Open hull with a view into the engine room
- Lever for three movement modes

Craftsmanship
Built to be shown
From 575 parts to an art object for your shelf – built with your own hands.
Laser-cut edges, open mechanics, visible wood grain: every part is laser-cut from plywood so precisely that it fits without glue. Gears, levers and shafts stay visible – the mechanism is part of the design.
Designed by UGEARS, a Ukrainian brand, produced in the EU. We have been bringing the models to Germany as the exclusive importer since 2015 and ship from Germany. If a part breaks while building, spare parts are free.
