Buyers Guide

At Handcrafted Model Ships, we build affordable authentic model ships that every household can enjoy. With our vast selection, we guarantee the highest quality and best value for the price. We hope this shopper’s guide will help you find the model that is perfect for you.

High Quality –
Primarily merchant vessels, exploration vessels, and cruise liners. All of these models are hand-crafted by master builders with decades of experience and built with high quality woods and fittings. These models are somewhat easier to construct than a typical warship from the Age of Sail. This allows these authentic replicas to be more affordable.

Superior Quality –
Primarily warships from the Age of Sail make up this category. Warships had more cannons and details that a typical ship of the period. To make authentic models of these warships, more time, pieces and attention is required over our merchant or exploration replicas.

Museum Quality –
For the person who demands the best available, these replicas have details that can only be achieved by master builders. Taking up to 1000 hours to construct, these models use the best available pieces and parts and receive additional attention to details at all stages of production. Accordingly, only a limited number of these models can be built.
