The scale sets the ratio between the model and the real ship, so the final length also depends on the size of the original vessel. Measure the space you have in mind (shelf, desk, display cabinet or lobby), leaving room around the rigging. Each version's length is shown on its product page.
Our models are built from raw timber and plans, then planked, rigged and finished by hand. We make our own brass and zinc fittings (cannons, anchors, deadeyes) in our workshop.
Read our storyCatalogue models can be ordered directly. For a vessel that is not listed (a family sailing boat, a yacht, a specific historic ship), we build custom ship models from your plans or photos.
