Per displacement
The article Sean refers to was intended for plastic models in general.
And, in fact mentions Lindburgh Tugboats. My Lindburgh "North
Sea Trawler," has slightly over 18 ounces of displacement. It has about
1.5" draft is about 3.25 inchs wide and about 18 inches long. The 350 Titanic
is about twice the draft, twice as long, and about a third wider.
And, I added nearly a hundred extra parts to the trawler. Just as a guess
I would think The Titanic's displacement will be in pounds not ounces.
Short of using a motorcylce battery, I think ya got all the room ya and
weight ya need! Just as a guess, I'd say 4-5 pounds.
