Can you restore an old family model?
Yes, gladly. We clean, repair and re-rig old and family models, respecting the model and the maker. Show us the model and we will advise.
What does a model ship cost?
It depends on the ship, the scale and the detail. Tell us what you have in mind and we will give you a clear price.
Do you build models to order?
Yes. We build ships and boats plank on frame by hand, to a ship, a plan or your own idea. Tell us your idea and we will advise and prepare a quote.
Do you work for collectors and museums?
Yes. We build and restore for collectors, museums and the trade, and advise on the ship, scale and detail.
Do you make display cases?
Yes. We make display cases and stands to fit and protect a model.
Can you build a particular ship?
Often, yes. Tell us the ship and we will research it and advise on the scale and detail we can build to.
How do I commission a model?
Visit the workshop or write to us. For commissions we agree the ship, scale, detail and timing together.
