Welcome to the world of ModelShipMaster where your dreams of owning a beautiful, accurate model of  the great ships can finally be realized.    ModelShipMaster is a company that produces limited quantities of ships of the ages- from ancient vessels, to tall ships, warships through the ages,  classic ocean liners, modern cruise ships, merchantmen, mega yachts and more. 

For a long time, only the very wealthy could make their dream of owning a custom-crafted model of their favorite ships a reality.   That has changed thanks to ModelShipMaster ! 

ModelShipMaster ’s mission statement is a simple one:  to create living memories  with scale models of great, historic ships at prices within the reach of most collectors.   

Each of our models is entirely hand-built using high quality materials.  Each one is created with the utmost care and attention to accuracy and detail.  If you check the few “real” model makers who actually build beautiful scale models of ships, you’ll find it’s a pretty short list……..and most charge quite a bit more for their models that we do. 

We at ModelShipMaster are proud to be a stand-alone company offering a unique product…truly custom-crafted ship models with careful attention to quality and accuracy, while being able to deliver these outstanding models at prices within the reach of most collectors.    That is what makes us truly unique.

Explore our easy-to-navigate website!   You’ll be glad you did…..when you look over the photos, you’ll see true museum quality models.   Not something mass-produced in an east Asian sweatshops.   Our craftsmen are experienced, master model builders.  Dedicated to providing the best quality models possible for a reasonable cost.

Viking boat model

"I wanted to let you know how much I like the Viking Ship Model I bought from you.  It is an absolute work of art!  I have seen the very best ship models that exist: the Smithsonian, Mystic Sea Port, San Diego, Los Angels and San Francisco Maritime Museums – and this one ranks right in there with them. Thank you!  - Jim Gasper."
 

 
 
Normandie ship model

"Received my model of the Normandie well on schedule as you complied. The model was received in very good condition due to the way it was packed. The model is an excellent copy of the ship itself. I have checked other makers on the internet and could only find one that met your standards, but at a very much higher cost. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and my dealings with your company. John Earl Coleman."
 


 
 
Pacific Princess cruise ship model
"I have received the Pacific Princess model that you built for me, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I commend all of you on the diligent way that you faithfully recreated this ship from scratch. Thank you for the many hours, days and weeks that you spent working on this model on my behalf. Your fine effort is very much appreciated!... I never had the chance to take a cruise on the Pacific Princess, but now I have my own "Pacific Princess" to admire for a lifetime. Again, allow me to say "thank you!"  Best regards and God bless,
