About us
My friends and me are ship model lovers in
the Ruhr area of western Germany. We build wooden ship models and sell them from time to time, as no house
is big enough to accommodate all the ships that true lovers continue to make. Two models which I built are shown on this
website. They are the
SCOTTISH MAID,
a 1839 schooner, and the yacht
BRITANNIA, a symbol of royal sailing. Besides, I trade ship models by this internet gallery.
All our model ships to buy are beautiful decorative pieces up to
first-class museum quality. All the ship models are
unique pieces made by experienced model builders. There is only the one piece
shown in the website available for sale.
How do we compare to other ship model sellers?
The more expensive ship models, which show more details than our models, were
made in thousands of working hours. Some model makers such as
Olivier Bello build them like the former
English Admiralty Board models, leaving one side unplanked and the framing open
to inspection.
The cheaper models usually show fewer details and poor handicraftship.
Most of them are mass-produced in China, Vietnam or Mauritius. The dealers show
only small pictures of the models in their websites or brochures. Otherwise you
would immediately recognize the lower quality of workmanship.
Quality ship
models
We show our
scale models with many detailed photos and close
views in this
gallery. You
can exactly see the quality which you buy from us. If you click on one
of these photos you
will get that photo in high resolution.
Do you want to see the ship models
by yourself? At home I always have some models in stock in a small
showroom.
In recent years some of the models were shown at
the Intermodellbau Fair at Dortmund, Germany, in April each year.
Eight ship models we delivered to the
Morada Seaside Resort at Kuehlungsborn near Rostock on the Baltic coast. It
is a beautiful hotel directly at the Baltic Sea beach, and our models are on
display in the passage to the restaurant.
And that is me, cleaning a model of HMS Prince before working on
its restoration.
Please contact me, if you have any questions.
