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.
We produce works of art.
Our team always look for ways to increase the prestige of
our products and we have pioneered many features that
had never been seen in the history of model making. Our passion did not go unnoticed. In March 2009,
Mr. Ray Ashley
-- the
president of the world famous
Maritime
Museum of San Diego
--
reached out to commission four ships.
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
have been commissioned by the
United States Naval War
College,
U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps,
Naval Postgraduate School.
Not only reputable public
institutions, prestigious private shipyards such as
Privinvest,
Benetti,
Hargrave Custom Yachts,
Midnight
Express have also conducted great businesses with us.
Our workforce is comprised of
a dozen
artists.
The newest
member is from Spain, joining our team in September
2020. Their hands are like those of the heart surgeon Vivien
Thomas of John Hopkins hospital. Within
ModelShipMaster's innovative culture, they have created
many products that are so distinct, so difficult that no
other builders hope to emulate.
These products are destined to become some of the
rarest nautical art pieces
in the world.
After over 20 years of
gratifying work, many members of our team start
thinking about giving back. We want to create the
world's first comprehensive
maritime museum. We have visited many nautical museums and felt that
the ship models in those museums seemed to be collected
randomly by many successive curators and, as a result,
the museums offer very little educational benefit. Our
envisioned world-class museum will have many spacious
rooms, each features one type of ships and changing
themes (i.e. Ships that Break Records, Naval Battles of WWII, American Civil War's
Battles, Historic Submarines, Maritime Innovations that
Changed the World,
Famous Yachts, Most Loved Boats...) The models will be
large, 4'-6' long, for effective learning and pleasing
visual. In the front stand several massive 15'-20'
models to strike everlasting impression. 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.) This endeavor requires high finance and we
are seeking assistance or partnership.
After the initial development is completed, private
benefactors and corporate sponsors will come and we will
be able to give out free passes to the public.
For interior design, we are inspired by this one:
Palm Spring Museum of
Art.
Our ability to make ship
models is far superior than anybody else. Our team is
simply a better team: better knowledge, better skills,
better commitment. If you see something that you 'like'
somewhere, we will make one that you will 'love'. 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, but all
of our models are much better, and the
Coast Guard Museum Northwest reached out to
commission a model in 2023.
It is the passion to create spectacular art
works that has propelled us to the indisputable leader
status today. Some companies focus on tall ships, but
their products can barely match our current tall ships.
Some
prize themselves on warships, but their
accuracy lags so far behind.
Sweat shops in third-world countries try to copy our
models and send containers of junk to America.
ModelShipMaster is the
only company in the USA who refuses to mix junk in
its offerings. We are a standalone company; we sell what
we produce. No drop-shipping, no fake, no horrible
cheap 'models'.
Amid the trade tension
between the US and China, some might wonder if we have
our products made in China. The answer is no. Chinese
(unlike Japanese) can no longer produce exquisite
handmade works of art.
During over 20 years of
existence, ModelShipMaster has contributed to the world
in many meaningful ways. Many famous ships get their
first model built. Decent models are constructed not
only for the serious collectors and the wealthy but also
for millions to view in museums. Take the
USS Monitor as an example. In the whole history of
model making, nobody else has come close to the look of
the real iconic vessel. That's why
National
Museum of the American Sailor acquired our model in
2023. Our accurate
models such as the
SS Normandie contribute to the preservation of
greatest ocean liners. Other models help accentuate
prestigious businesses and beautiful homes alike:
classic yacht
Sequoia and
Christina O, tall ship
USS Constitution. Without ModelShipMaster, correct
and beautiful models of significant maritime marvels
such as the
Harmony of the Seas would never exist. In this
business, what separates us from the rest is that we
care about accuracy and prestige more than money. We are
determined to produce many more best-of-breed models for
the distinguished collectors in the next decade before
retired.
