First model of the Titanic built from ship's original plans will set you back a cool £1.3m
Daily Mail
The world's first model of the Titanic to be built from the ship's original plans has been revealed - but if you want to lay your hands on it it will cost you a whopping £1.3m.
The stunning 1:48 model is a precise replica of the White Star liner which famously hit an iceberg and sank in 1912, costing the lives of more than 1,500 passengers.
Made from brass, wood and fibreglass, the model took seven years to build using the original plans, drawings and measurements from the liner.
