Editorial Reviews
About the Author - Of Anglo-German descent, Peter Davies-Garner trained as an architect, but is now a professional ship modeler. This is his first full-length book.
Book Description - This new book contains all the information needed to build a highly accurate model of Titanic, down to the tiniest details of the hull's rivets. Based on the author's own remarkable 20-foot model, it also contains a mass of practical information on how to construct every part of the great liner and is equally applicable to a small bread-and-butter display model as to a large working version. Containing the most accurate plans yet of the liner, this book will appeal to all Titanic enthusiasts as well as to ship modelers of every sort. Includes over 400 photographs and drawings of the author's own remarkable model, and a set of plans drawn by the author deemed to be the most accurate yet.
Also, in the latest edition of THS' "The TITANIC Commutator", Volume 28 - Number 166 - 2004, you can meet finally meet Peter face-to-face, standing next to his pride 'n' joy. His 1/48th (18 foot) scale model can be seen in an aerial view on the front cover, while on the back cover you can see her in her radiately gorgeous entirety.
I hope you have this copy of the Commutator, but if not...then you can purchase your copy straight from THS via their website address:

Re: "RMS TITANIC: A Modeler's Guide" by Peter Davies-Garner
Lucky you, and Michael Tennaro/TheManInBlack, over on the T-T! Index Forum. He lives too, is a Floridian, living in Brandon (Tempa). Perhaps you can contact him at:
(813)684-1133
or visit his website at:
http://www.titanicbooksite.com
and/or visit his Book Corner store at: 728 W. Lumsden Road, too...while you are at it, because he needs to know about the above mentioned Titanic-The Exhibition, as well as Peter's book. For that matter, just how near are you to Michael's store?

Re: "RMS TITANIC: A Modeler's Guide" by Peter Davies-Garner
Sorry, Mr Titanic, that the last post is so large, but in order to appreciate the contents of the pictures inside Peter's above book...and close-ups of his 20-foot model's aft deck. This is the only way to see it, as well as to giving you an idea of into the intricate finally detailed work he did on his model.
And since you, Thomas Andrews' incarnatee, am the original builder of the three White Star Line olympic-size ships...I somehow knew you would appreciate Peter's work. Perhaps if you got a copy of his book, you too could build yourself a model of Titanic. :heyy:
