RMS Titanic

Product Description

RMS Titanic A Modelmaker's Manual Peter Davies-Garner* The ultimate modeller's guide to the world's most famous liner* 400 photographs & drawings of the author's own model* Contains a set of plans, drawn by the author, deemed the most accurate yet RMS Titanic has had more written about her than any other ship but, surprisingly, there is a little information directed at the modelmaker. This new book contains all the information needed to build a highly accurate model down to the tiniest details of the hull's rivets. The book is based on the author's own remarkable 20ft model, specially commissioned for a travelling exhibition throughout North America. It contains a mass of practical information on how to construct every part of the great liner & is equally applicable to a small static bread-&-butter display model as to a large working version. It is highly illustrated with superb close-up photographs of the model, detailed drawings by the author & a large collection of photographs of the prototype herself, some of which have never been published before. In addition, the book contains a complete set of plans of the Titanic which are considered to be the most accurate yet drawn. With its mix of practical information, rare photographs & highly-detailed drawings this book will appeal to all Titanic enthusiasts as well as to ship modellers of every sort. PETER DAVIES-GARNER is a full-time modelmaker who trained as an architect. Much of his modelling work is for the architectural practises but his particular fascination with the Titanic led to his most remarkable work, a 20-foot model, which will shortly go on display in Florida.
