Romancing the Seven Seas with Wooden Ship Models
Stand avast, maties! Get to ground, landlubbers! This is the kind of vernacular you may expect from your seven year old son whilst donned in a Captain Hook outfit, but don’t be surprised if it’s actually an adult you hear uttering these words. Whether children or simply adults in touch with our inner child, many of us harken to a maritime gone by and the intrigue, romance and swashbuckling of pirates, plunderers, captains and adventurers of the seven seas. Which is why wooden ship models have always had a place in our collective heart and will continue to do so for generations to come.
The building of wooden ship models is a massively rewarding hobby or craft. Never a ‘quick reward’ undertaking, it takes time, patience, dedication, focus and discipline. Many miniature boat builders started their hobby in childhood and developed it over the years. No matter your age, you are never too young to start model boat building – even if starting simply means joining an adult on a miniature boat building adventure – and you are certainly never too old.
Ensure that, no matter how humble and simple your first attempts, you begin with high quality wooden ship models. In fact, the unreliability and poor workmanship inherent in a slapdash kit could turn a potential master miniature boat builder off the craft for life! The esteemed STEPHENS & KENAU™ range of wooden ship models are highly recommended and, as the only official designer and manufacturer of these high quality kits, the Model Shipyard has a wide range of kits to suit all ages, interest levels and capabilities.
Our wooden ship models and DIY kits contain high quality components - precious woods, brass or other materials - that are designed and manufactured using the most sophisticated technology. Each and every part and piece fits together so precisely it is akin to a 3D puzzle and each kit contains detailed instructions and colour photographs to ease the building process.
