This is the tiniest ship in the fleet and I ask myself, "Why the heck did I buy this thing?" LOL This Lido aircraft carrier came in a bagged set of various vehicles: cars, trucks, boats, etc., and was not really a serious attempt at toy making. It measures: 2.125" (5.39cm) L x .25" (.63cm) W x .375" (.95cm) H. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
This is the second of two tiny battleships in my fleet, the other one having been previously blogged. I don't know who made it, but it's a pretty sturdy little affair. It measures: 5.5" (13.97cm) L x 1" (2.54cm) W x 1.125" (2.85cm) H. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
Over time, I've managed to gather a fair amount of cereal premiums. They're not a major collecting focus, buying them only when they fit into another collecting interest. Such was the case with this Kellogg's PT Boat. I bought it because it fit into my tiny boat fleet collection. Do you recall the scuba diver / frogman premiums that you loaded up with baking soda and they dove, then surfaced, then dove again, then surfaced? This PT Boat is kinda like that. Fill the cavity with baking soda, put it into the water and it should move along on its own. Honestly though, I haven't tried it yet so I can't say how well it works. It measures: 2.25" (5.71cm) L x 1" (2.54cm) W x .625" (1.58cm) H. It has a long stern section which goes down into the water, allowing the water to seep up into the hull and interact with the baking soda. A nice feature to make it operable, but it's impossible to lay flat for taking photos. Therefore I had to make a small stand using a heavy paper clip, cut and bent to a suitable shape.
