Custom Ship Models Manufacturer
Scales Model designs and manufactures detailed custom ship models for shipowners, shipyards, offshore companies, engineering organizations, maritime museums and professional exhibitions. Turn vessel drawings, photographs and CAD files into a physical scale model built around the identity of the actual ship.
Turn Your Real Vessel Into a Detailed Scale Model
A custom ship model should represent the individual characteristics of the real vessel rather than simply reproduce a generic ship type.
Hull proportions, superstructure, deck equipment, cranes, lifeboats, masts, piping, colors, vessel names and corporate markings can all contribute to the identity of the finished model.
Scales Model combines marine model craftsmanship with technical project references to develop physical models for commercial, offshore, corporate, museum and specialist applications.
