For The Best Model Ships: A Model From Stephens & Kenau

When it comes to model ships a model is only as good as the model shipyard that builds it. Sadly, in the case of most model ships a model is hastily mass-produced and imported before being sold at an exorbitant mark-up to unsuspecting customers. Stephens & Kenau™ has encounter many disillusioned customers who have fallen into the trap of paying Museum Quality prices for inferior model ships.

Stephens & Kenau model ships are not cheap. They cannot be, because they take up to ten weeks to build and once you have witnessed the painstaking attention to detail and the resultant quality, thanks to all the man hours spent, you would understand. However, even if they are not cheap, they are excellent value, because you get what you pay for and nothing less. Buying a similar quality model ship through an agent or dealer would cost a great deal more again, because they add hefty commissions to the price. You get the best value when you buy directly from us, because there is no middleman.

To the ears of many sceptics, the term “Museum Quality” rings somewhat hollow, because the term is boldly claimed for many model ships, yet a very small percentage really are Museum Quality, according to the definition of the Smithsonian Institution. Stephens & Kenau ships are true collectibles and come with a certificate of registration and authenticity. They are registered in the owner’s name and their Museum Quality is evident in the meticulous detailing, right down to the colours of the window frames and the thickness and texture of the ropes.
