Recommended books for Titanic modelers
RMS Titanic: A ModelMaker's Manual by Peter Davies-Garner is an essential book for the serious modeler who needs scale drawings and plans to work from. Ken Marschall's Art of Titanic features artwork showing how the ship and its colors most likely appeared in real life. Father Browne's Titanic Album is a good source of large photographs for deck, hull, superstructure and crane details, although they're limited in number. All books are available through Alibris.com or Amazon.com.
