Stuart Robb's 6ft long model is to be put on display in Belfast City Hall In April for an exhibition marking the 95th anniversary of the sinking.

He said he was honoured at the recognition in Northern Ireland.

The model, made from wood, brass, plastic and card, is first on display at Aberdeen's Maritime Museum.

I am very proud, the fact that it is going to Belfast is something special for me Stuart Robb

The Titanic was built in Belfast in 1912 and its sinking after leaving Southampton has captured the imagination of generations since.

The model is a 1/144th-scale replica of the liner, measuring 6ft 2in long and weighing almost 18lb.

It is on show at Aberdeen Maritime Museum until 2 April, before moving to Belfast.

Mr Robb told BBC Scotland: "I am very proud, the fact that it is going to Belfast is something special for me.

"For Belfast City Hall is a great honour, it took me by surprise they were interested in something I knocked together."

John Edwards, keeper of science and maritime history at the Maritime Museum in Aberdeen, said: "The Titanic has become perhaps the most famous ship in history and it was the largest vessel of its day.
