HALF HULL MODELS
A half hull model is
a wooden model featuring only one half of a boat.
They were originally made as a tool by
shipyards. There were several purposes, both technical
and for marketing and communication.
The art of making half hull boat models
is as old as ship building itself.
Nowadays, half hulls were no longer used
for ship design but for nautical art in homes, offices,
and nautical clubs. Half hulls do not take up a lot of
space, making them perfect for displaying nautical art
and décor when you lack space for a large ship model.
They also make great nautical gifts.

Model Ship Master crafts
only premium half
hull
models.
When you compare across the Internet, linger a bit
longer and you will have a feeling of luxury,
liveliness, and
exquisite
details embedded in our models. In today's fast-paced
environment, not everyone could manage to fully
appreciate the artistic quality in fine objects but it
is this quality that will have a long lasting impression
on the viewers' mind. From the selection of wood colors
to the details such as the window frames, the size of
the board... We even leave the metal nameplate detached
so that the owner can choose the best corner to glue it
on. We treat your half hull model as an art piece, not a
functionality.
Model Ship Master is the place where the
most challenging models are made. If you can supply only
a couple of old photos, we are perhaps the only firm
that won't turn you away. The passion which has
propelled us to the position today has a great role to
play in it. That's the reason our collection of models
is much more extensive, and much higher quality than
anywhere.
Our models and prices are not for everybody but if your
taste demands the best, let us know at
Services@ModelShipMaster.com.
"I
don’t go cheap on anything. If I
want something, I look at it, decide what it is, but it
will usually be the best product. I’ve got a pair of
loafers that I still wear that I got in 1957." --

| Many yacht
clubs the world over established cultures where
the members got to hang the half hull model of
their priced yacht on the wall in the club
house. This became a popular opportunity to
boast and gain notoriety and status at the club.
Over time these models were often willed or
donated to the club. One of the world's most
famous collection is that of the "Model Room" at
the New York Yacht Club in NY which displays one
of Model Ship Master's
models in a very prominent place.
