RMS Titanic

In this book, Peter Davies-Garner describes the construction of a fascinating large-scale model that does justice in its perfection to the legendary model of the RMS Titanic. Built on a scale of 1:48 for an American museum, this excellently researched, and six-metre-long model is probably the measure of all things when it comes to replicas of the most famous ship in history. Not only because of the many original photos and the excellently detailed plans, this book is a treasure trove for all model builders. Above all, the detailed description of the various construction techniques used makes it a must-read for every ambitious model ship builder.
