ModelShipMaster.com is a U.S. company located in
southern California, about 25 miles from Los Angeles
International Airport. The
company was founded in 2000.
Since inception, our team
has focused solely on two elements: beauty and accuracy.
Being explorers by heart, we have pioneered many
features that give ship models the level of
sophistication never existed before. Even today, after
so many years, nowhere else you can see stunning micro woodworking
on wood parts, spectacular guns and aircraft on warships, captivating lighting on yacht models,
and many more.
The level of accuracy that
you see in our models today is a direct result of the
contribution of one of our senior officers who used to
work as a researcher for a prestigious accounting firm.
Shortly after his arrival, our models caught the
attention of the
president of the
Maritime
Museum of San Diego. In March 2009,
Mr. Ray Ashley
reached out to commission four ships.
The rest is
history. Today, our models
are displayed in major museums
such as
the
Smithsonian Museum,
Coast Guard Museum NorthWest,
Mariners' Museum,
Museum of
Science and Industry,
National
Museum of the American Sailor.
Training centers value accuracy the most, and our models
are in the
United States Naval War
College,
U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps,
Naval Postgraduate School.
Not only reputable public
institutions, prestigious private shipyards and many
cruise ship operators also contact
us when they have a need.
Besides research, our team
loves to learn. In 2019, when we decided to expand the
submarine line, we spent weeks learning the history of
submarine developments and gained knowledge on the
functionality of various exterior parts of submarines.
Soon after, we became the only one in the world that
built correct sub models. That still stands as of Jan.
2025. There are basic but important parts that all
submariners know are correct or not.
ModelShipMaster's ability to make ship
models is far superior than any other firms. Our team is
simply a better team: better skills, vaster knowledge,
deeper commitment. We always make superior models, even
ones that we have not built before. Take our
Coast Guard line
as an example. We started the line in 2020 - more than
10 years after a prominent Coast Guard model maker, and
by 2022, all
of our Coast Guard models are much better, and the
Coast Guard Museum Northwest reached out to
commission a model in 2023 and another in 2024. Another
example is the iconic
USS Monitor that we built
in 2020 for Mr.
Dwight S. Hughes-a
Civil War navy historian,
and in 2022 for
National
Museum of the American Sailor.
Economywise, what separates
ModelShipMaster from the rest of the model ship industry is that
we care more about prestige than money. As you might
have known, ModelShipMaster is the
only company in the USA who does not mix junk in its
offerings. We sell what
we produce; No
dropshipping; no horrible items in our lineup. Without
our stellar commitment, majestic models of maritime marvels
such as the
Wonder of the Seas and Paul Allen's
Octopus superyacht would have never existed.
After over 20 years of
gratifying work, many members in our team start thinking
about creating the world's first comprehensive maritime
museum. We have visited many nautical museums and felt
that the ship models there seemed to be collected
randomly by many successive curators and, as a result,
the museums offer very little educational benefit. Our
envisioned museum will have many spacious
rooms, each features one type of ships and changing
themes (i.e. Maritime Innovations that Changed the
World, Naval Battles of WWII, Important American Civil War's
Vessels, Historic Submarines, Famous Yachts, Most Loved Boats.) In the front stand several massive 15'-20'
models. Outside, we plan to have a pond to reenact
famous battles (the ships are connected to runways on
the bottom of the pond and the whole acts are
computerized.) After the initial development is
completed, private benefactors and corporate sponsors
will donate and we will be able to offer free admissions
on American national holidays. We hope that with the
creation of this museum, many high schools will start to
offer a class about maritime history, authors will
collaborate to write text books for them, and southern
California will have one more great place for millions of global
tourists. This endeavor requires high finance and we
need assistance or partnership. We are sure cities and
counties will be eager to fund parts of the project.
