Pensioner Builds Titanic Model From Meccano

Описание: ID: 1601026

A Meccano-mad pensioner has spent three years painstakingly building a three stone model of the Titanic – using 2,000 individual pieces.

Grandad-of-two Bill Gardiner, 85, has been making Meccano models for the last 70 years but said his latest creation is his finest.

The retired postman grafted for more than 1,000 hours to recreate the doomed liner in a spare room at his home in Kidderminster, Worcs, using only the Hollywood film for reference.

Married dad-of-two Bill built the 18-inch high and 4ft long model by hand using only basic tools and claims his hobby has even kept Alzheimer’s and dementia at bay.
