The mechanical aspect of assembling the motor, and the accompanying explanation of how the motor works was interesting for my 6 year old. But the body itself is made from cardboard and was very fiddly, and took long to build. Cannot see it lasting too long.

For many the wrong side of fifty this is the favourite and best-remembered 'big toy': real clay bricks, real 'cement', real houses to build! Admire them, improve them, for weeks, months if you like. Then soak them in water, and, miraculously, after a few hours, the bricks come apart ready to be cleaned and used again. Ceramic bricks - totally safe and 'soluble mortar', wooden roof-bases, tough plastic doors and windows, detailed instructions and serious architectural plans are all included. This is a real old-fashioned-values toy which encourages and develops many skills, will entertain and educate all sorts of ages and mentalities and lasts forever. We will continue to stock extra mortar, for the foreseeable future. For age 6 years and up.

Comes in a sturdy easy-storage tub complete with chipboard base, bowl, loads of mortar, 240 bricks and plans to build five different houses.

Naval Battle of Trafalgar 1805 The British fleet won the Naval Battle of Trafalgar 200 years ago! His Majesty's Ships, particularly the Victory as their flagship, had ever reason to celebrate the 21st october 1805, since they had succeeded in defeating the Franco-Spanish fleet. However celebrations were dampened because the Victory's Commander, Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, lost his life on his ship on the very day of the great Victory. The great hero's tomb is in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. Today, H.M.S. Victory lies in dry-dock in Portsmouth in all her splendour. The whole of England was outraged when it was suggested the ship be scrapped following the Napoleonic wars, so she was reprieved and became the stationary flagship of the commander-in-chief. In 1922 the Victory underwent a comprehensive restoration paid for out of donations. She was the opened to the public as a memorial. The kit includes a few basic colours, thinner paintbrush and glue as well as an impressive 42 x 60 cm poster.

ahoy there...., 20 May 2008
A fantastic piece of kit, i have rated it as 3 stars in the educational section as it teaches you patience, co-ordination, commitment, fine motor skills and attention to detail.
I am still in the middle of doing mine which i received as a 20th birthday present and i am feeling a great sense of achievement for being able to sit down and do something i never thought i would be able to do as usually i can't sit still for 5 seconds.
For ship fanatics the detail included in the model itself is well worth a look as a lot of time and thought has been spent over this particular kit.
A must for ship fanatics, model kit experts or for someone simply wanting to feel a great sense of pride during and after building the kit.
The only thing i could possibly say to doubt this product is there are five paints not included in the kit which you may wish to purchase if you want to spend a little extra time added the very fine detail in. It was slightly disappointing to have to but these separately and have to wait until they arrived for me to continue, otherwise well worth it.
