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 fibre glass, dependant 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.
