RMS TITANIC:A Modelmakers
Manual
By Peter Davies-Garner

|
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 hulls rivets. The book is based on the
authors 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 and is equally applicable
to a small static bread-and-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 and 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 and highly-detailed drawings this book will
appeal to all Titanic enthusiasts as well as to ship modellers of every
sort.
