Ready Made Models in Silver, Gold, Platinum and Custom Range

These ship models are Hand-Made from scratch using 'Plank-on-Frame Craftsmanship'.

These ship models are 'Hand-Crafted, Complete' and requires NO re-construction. The only exceptions are some model boats in our silver range, where the model boats are flat packed. 

All ship models are made from teak wood or fiber glass, dependent upon which models are ordered, and client requirements.

The ship models are made from the original ship plans, and we use the services of 
'various Maritime Museums' as the source of the Ship Plans.
 
Model ship kits and Radio Control (R/C) Boats 
 
In response to on-going customer request, we now offer model boat kits and r/c model boats.

Custom model ships 
 
We offer our clients a 'Complete Service'  for 'Hand-Crafted Custom Bespoke Ship Models' to showcase their prestigious boats and yachts in their surrounding lifestyles. 
 
The custom model page on our site represents a small example of our portfolio and craftsmanship for 'Hand-Crafted Custom Bespoke Ship Models'.
 
It's simply meant to provide an overview of our 'In-House' production team capabilities on their 'wide range of skills, knowledge, craftsmanship and experience'.

Guidelines on how to order a 'Hand-Crafted Custom Bespoke Ship Model' are as follows:

1. Client provides picture(s) of their boats or yachts, together with the size of model required. Digital pictures are ideal.

2. A quote will be submitted to clients, together with size and options on their model yachts.
 
3. The quote is agreed with the client. We will then request as many pictures as possible, along with plans or technical drawings.
 
If pictures or plans are not available, we will undertake the research at a cost.
 
4. The lead times for producing custom model boats can be up to 16 weeks.
 
5. We prepare a Client Specification Document (CSD) for both parties to sign off. This outlines the scope of the work, and provides peace of mind to our clients.
 
6. The client's model boats are produced and delivered. Pictures are provided during the construction of the model at the client request, together with final professional pictures.
 
Please email us for an outline of the custom build process for model yachts / ships and boats.
