Shipmodel
A shipmodel is a scaled representation of a much larger vessel that is used to transport goods or carry people. The art of ship modelling is as old as the task of ship building it self as many centuries ago, before a ship could be a built, a scaled replica of it would have to be presented to the admiralty for prior approval. This meant that the model ship would have to be extremely detailed and designed to portray the larger ship exactly as the end result was expected to appear.
The building of model ships dates back to the time when water transportation was very first developed. Shipmodel building is a popular hobby for collectors and enthusiasts and kits usually include ships made out of wood, plastic, metal or paper. The Model Shipyard is a team that deals mainly in the wooden Stephens & Kenau model ship range. Wooden model ships take a great deal of dedication, patience and skill to achieve an accurate result. A single block of wood is usually used in order to saw a solid hull. Alternatively thin blocks of wood are glued meticulously together with a horizontal or vertical seam. While this eliminates the amount of carving required it doesn’t detract from the fact that a great deal of skill is required in order to achieve a flawlessly accurate hull. While most ship models are small, there are a variety of larger model ships that have been created for use in museums and even in companies that have an interest in this.
