Ship Models by Vessel Type
Explore professional physical ship models across commercial vessels, offshore and FPSO projects, naval ships, yachts, cruise vessels, historic ships, container ships, bulk carriers, LNG and LPG carriers, tugboats and fishing vessels. Each category can be developed around the characteristics and visible identity of the individual vessel.
Start With the Type of Ship You Want Recreated
Ship Models is the main vessel-category hub for the Scales Model website.
Different vessel types place emphasis on different visible structures. A container ship may be defined by its container arrangement and bridge structure, while an FPSO can be dominated by topside modules, cranes and piping.
Naval ships, historic vessels, yachts, cruise ships, tugboats and fishing vessels each introduce their own proportions, deck arrangements, equipment and presentation priorities.
