From Real Vessel Information to a Physical Model

A custom ship model is developed around the structure and visual identity of a specific vessel, rather than simply modifying a generic model.

The project can begin from general arrangement drawings, deck plans, photographs, CAD files, principal dimensions, equipment references and corporate branding.

Hull geometry, superstructure, deck machinery, vessel markings, colors and other recognizable details can then be translated into the selected model scale.

Modélisation spécifique à un navire

Every Custom Model Starts With the Actual Vessel

Two ships may belong to the same vessel category while still having very different proportions, deck arrangements and equipment.

Technical Proportions

Principal dimensions and drawings help establish the relationship between hull, decks and superstructure.

Equipment Configuration

Cranes, lifeboats, winches, piping and specialist equipment can be placed according to the vessel design.

Visual Appearance

Photographs help define colors, surface details, markings and the real-world appearance of components.

Identification du navire

Names, logos, hull markings and corporate graphics complete the relationship between the model and the original vessel.
