Time to weigh anchor and go full speed ahead towards new discoveries with nautical model, the Research Vessel.
Inspired by classic scientific documentaries and biographies of outstanding marine explorers, the Research Vessel is the incarnate might and beauty of large modern icebreakers and survey boats. Three movement modes – forward, turn, and automatic maneuvering. The modes are controlled with a lever you can switch manually.
Pure mechanics in your hands
Easy assembly
Everything you need for this fun DIY project comes right in the box: no extra tools or glue required. Building this mechanical model can take about 10 hours. We’ve included illustrated instructions in 11 languages to make assembly easier and faster.
Get ready for the greatest sea adventure!
UGEARS Research Vessel
Your new boat has all you need to implement proper research: a bathyscaphe for deep-sea exploration, a small motor-boat and a life boat, drop ramp, opening hold hatch, and other fun and interesting elements you find in real-life vessels. The model is equipped with a swing jib crane to manage cargo and hoist out the bathyscaphe. Use the crane to pull the bathyscaphe out of the depths and secure it on a special extension platform.
Model size: 15.2*4.3*9.8 in (385 *110*250 mm)
Package size: 14.9*6.7*1.7 in (378*170*42 mm)
Number of components: 575
Estimated time for assembly: 10 hours
Level: Medium
COLLECTIBLE DÉCOR
Once assembled, our DIY kits for adults become beautiful home or office décor. Building Ugears models is a great way to learn basic principles of science and engineering.
MEMORABLE GIFT
The “skeleton” design of the Vessel’s body allows you to look into the hold and engine room and see what makes her move. The energy driving the model is produced by a rubber-band motor and managed by a pendulum. A clever gear arrangement in this block imitates the sound of a diesel engine and provides a smooth and steady pace of the Vessel.
FUN ASSEMBLY TIME
UGears Research Vessel Boat model building is not only challenging, but it’s also extremely rewarding. Give your loved ones the opportunity to handcraft this mechanical masterpiece.
