How to set model boat up?
How are your model ships constructed?
We build our model ships using the plank-on-frame or plank-on-bulkhead construction method. This is a painstaking process, taking hundreds of hours, in which each individual plank is added to the hull one at a time. Our models are not constructed from pre-made, pre-measured, mass-marketed, mass-produced model kits. To learn more about how we build our models

We use only the highest-quality woods available such as cherry, birch, maple, Blackwood, white lotus, walnut, rosewood, teak, yellow siris, light ebony and others.
