Custom Commercial Ship Models
Scales Model creates detailed commercial ship models for shipowners, shipyards, shipping companies, maritime organizations and corporate display projects. From container ships and bulk carriers to gas carriers, tugboats, workboats and passenger vessels, every model can be customized around the actual ship.
Recreate Your Commercial Vessel in Scale
A professional commercial ship model should reproduce the recognizable character of the original vessel rather than simply represent a generic ship type.
Hull proportions, cargo arrangements, superstructure, bridge configuration, cranes, piping, lifeboats, deck machinery, colors and corporate markings all contribute to the identity of a real commercial vessel.
Scales Model can use available drawings, CAD information, photographs and dimensional data to develop a physical display model for professional maritime applications.

A Custom Ship Model Should Look Like Your Vessel
Commercial vessels within the same general category may still have very different hull forms, bridge structures, machinery configurations and company identities.
Correct Proportions
Principal vessel dimensions establish the relationship between hull, decks, bridge and equipment at the selected model scale.
Correct Equipment Arrangement
Crane positions, cargo systems, lifeboats, masts and deck machinery help distinguish one vessel from another.
Correct Colors
Hull, deck, superstructure, funnel and machinery colors can be developed from project references.
Correct Vessel Identity
Names, logos, registration markings and corporate graphics complete the visual connection to the real ship.

How Can We Develop Your Commercial Ship Model?
Different customers have different reference materials. A model project can begin with drawings, photographs, CAD information or a combination of all three.
Aus Zeichnungen bauen
GA drawings, vessel profiles and deck plans provide dimensional and structural information for model development.

Existing vessel photographs can help recreate ships when original construction drawings are unavailable.
Learn More →CAD & 3D Design
CAD and digital references support planning for complex vessel structures and detailed model components.

A custom vessel model can represent more than the physical appearance of a ship. It can preserve a newbuilding project, fleet milestone, company history or long-term relationship between a shipowner and shipyard.
Commercial models are particularly suitable for reception areas, boardrooms, exhibitions, showrooms, ship delivery ceremonies and customer presentations.

Inspection
The finished model is reviewed before packaging.
Explore Commercial Ship Model Projects
The Commercial Ship Models page explains the type of models we can manufacture, while our Commercial Projects portfolio focuses on completed and representative project work.
Explore examples of bulk vessels, commercial working ships, marine service vessels and other model projects demonstrating vessel-specific model craftsmanship.
This separation creates a clearer path between customers researching a model category and customers who want to see examples of completed work.

Quality Inspection, Packaging & Worldwide Delivery
Fine ship models contain delicate components that require careful inspection and protection before delivery.
Railings, masts, antennas, crane structures, cables, lifeboats and other small components should remain properly protected throughout handling and transport.
The finished model can therefore move from final inspection through protective packaging and worldwide shipment as one complete project workflow.
