    About this ebook

    The expert ship modeler offers a fully illustrated guide to building the RMS Titanic, with practical information applicable to models of any scale.

    The legendary British passenger liner RMS Titanic remains one of the most fascinating ships, posing unique challenges for modelmakers. This superb book contains all the information needed to build a highly accurate model, down to the tiniest details of the hull's rivets. Peter Davies-Garner takes readers through the process of building his own remarkable 18-foot model. Built to 1/48 scale, it was specially commissioned for a traveling exhibition in North America.

    Profusely illustrated with close-up photographs, detailed drawings, and numerous images of the actual ship, this volume also contains a complete set of plans considered to be the most accurate yet drawn.

      This book details the building of the huge Ttitanic model located at the Mercado in Orlando. There's a short history of the ship but a bulk of the text and photos center around building the model. Even if you've never thought about building a model of Titanic, this is still a must-have for any Titanic nut or liner fan. Reading about the process and seeing how this fantastic model was built is pretty amazing. In the end, the model is probably the most accurate ever built...Ken Marshall does the forward and admits that he was totally blown away. Definitely worth having.
