Scale Model Ships

The creation of scale model ships is something that takes time, effort and attention to detail. The idea is not to have a miniature ship that is similar to the original; the idea is to have a perfectly proportioned and exact replica of the original. At Model Shipyard, creating these model ships is a fine art. Each and every piece that leaves the care of this team has been perfected and is without blemish or flaw.

The making of the first scale model ship dates back as far as 3200BC where the first model ship was ever made, in Egypt. Making these scale model ships has through the years developed into a hobby that is enjoyed by many people the world over. When looking to get involved in model shipbuilding, it is important to understand that each kit sold by Model Shipyard comes with its own difficulty level attached. For those who are just starting out and need something a little easier to try, there are self-build kits where your model ship can be pieced together with plastic. For those who are more experienced with the intricacies of shipbuilding, there are more complicated kits where the building materials include precious woods and even brass. Model Shipyard offers model shipbuilding kits in the following categories: beginners, intermediate and advanced.

Each of the model ships to be built have been researched and designed and if you are able to follow the instructions to the letter, you will end up with a model ship that is built perfectly to scale, and is an exact replica of the original ship it was modelled on.

The building of scale model ships is a complex, time consuming and most enjoyable challenge. Nothing will quite beat the feeling of holding that simply perfect piece of art in your hands.
