"I cannot thank you and your team enough for the absolutely magnificent liners that your team constructed for me. I am a mechanical engineer by trade in the railroad industry and also collect model trains. I look for authenticity in my models. Your liners are in a class of their own. On New Years Day, we had several friends over, one being a retired marine engineer who spent his life aboard merchantmen. I couldn’t wait to show Joe my display in the family room. He was certainly impressed and I gave him a tour of your website. Who knows, you may have another customer. He is interested in cargo carriers, freighters and tankers. Paul J.

"Hello Frank, The 62" Normandie did arrive yesterday in perfect condition. The model was packed so well I don’t think anything could have really happened to it. Thank You. The ship exceeds all expectations. You and your team are truly fine craftsmen. This is my favorite ship, and I’m so happy I chose Model Ship Masters. Not only is the ship a work of art, but with the lights and being RC, it’s like the Normandie is back alive. Thank you so much. Sincerely, George W."

"I wanted to thank Frank for the greatest, extraordinary model. It came today beautifully packed. Everything was in flawless condition. I will send you a photograph of it for you I'm sure you seen a thousand photographs of these models but we're really excited it was a wonderful day for us. It's on one of the big tables in the main room in the library right now and I don't quite know how to express my admiration and thanks for that model iIt's quite remarkable. It has a great deal to do with our club because five of our members perished on the Titanic and we're going to have a special dinner on April 13 where the model will be brought into the big room in the main room for dinner black tie and I'll try to reach you sometime when we can talk and Frank thank you very much. Bye now. Frank Arisman, The Union Club www.theunionclub.com"

"I am totally speechless, my RMS Lusitania model is far beyond my expectations. It is a true masterpiece. You are really a MASTER of model ships!
Thank you very much for everything, and I can not wait to do business again in form of the RMS Empress of Ireland. Best wishes from Hungary, Laszlo L. 6/1/2021."

"I received the Queen Mary and I love it. For me, it is a fabulous piece of art executed in a meticulous manner and a super addition to my apartment. I have always been fascinated by the era of the great liners, typified by the Queen Mary. I have one small problem that I need to ask you about. In removing the model from the packing, I accidentally broke two of the lifeboat davits. They are so tiny, I do not know how to replicate them. Would it be possible for your artisans to send me two replacement davits. I would be happy to pay for them. I can't wait to see the HMS Victory when it is completed. Thank you. Richard C. New York, New York"

"Just want you to know that the Rex for us has become a reason to gather friends and family ( in small groups) as they all want to see the ship! They love the "attention to detail" and we are challenging them to look for the people. This has become a fun game. At times we provide a little help, with a magnifying glass! Lot of fun. Sincerely, Lou"

"Received your email to order REX. Interested in lighting option for $200 extra all I need someone to contact me for order. My # 917 841 xxxx you can call anytime. I have ordered models from Motion Models and SD Model Makers wish I would have found you sooner. Anthony L."

"My darling (and I do mean that seriously ) wife loves the models once she sees them, but she is much more practical than I am, at least in the short term, so she doesn't buy for the future...if there is no space for something now, she says "why buy it." I, however, am much more future oriented, and very aware of the fact that items of high quality but limited appeal to the general public may not be available in the future....books that aren't on the best seller list, classical music recordings, etc. There is always a niche market for high quality items, but it frequently becomes very expensive. Unfortunately, we live in a culture where it is nearly impossible to go broke making mediocre movies or producing annoying and cloned rap music, but quality, if not priced "competitively", frequently becomes extinct, in the mass market sense...try finding a a good quality toaster or other small appliance at any price. I fully plan on unveiling all of the acquisitions when we have more space, I hope, in a few years, assuming I don't prematurely expire ( I am 63, but in much better shape than most my age... I should know, I'm a physician ). However, no one's future is assured. Interestingly enough, my wife inquired today as to whether a friend of hers could bring her grandchildren over to see my ship models, as they seem to have a fascination for sailing ships ( probably watched Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean too many times), so I would say that's a positive sign. Anyway, as usual, I have probably communicated more than you wish to hear. Keep the colors flying and thanks to all your artisans for their greatly appreciated efforts. Scott B."

Do your due diligence. When you are choosing a builder for your ocean liner model, look for large photos that show details very clearly. Do not assume a model that looks good from afar will have correct and/or good details. Demand photos of all angles of the model. Many ocean liner models, especially ones that have solid hull (carved from a log) suffer from nonuniform, unaligned windows and portholes. The cheap ones (under $1,500 all over the Internet) contain massive errors. Click here to learn more low-end ocean liner models.

For over 100 years, ocean liners were the primary mode of intercontinental travel, transporting people as well as cargo and mail. The development of ocean liners meant that the world suddenly opened up for people to travel overseas.

The Black Ball Line introduced the first regular passenger service in 1818. In 1838, Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SS Great Western was launched, the largest passenger ship in the world from 1837-1839. She could carry 128 first-class passengers and a crew of 60 from Bristol to New York City in just over 2 weeks.

The subsequent decades saw shipping companies like P&O, Cunard, White Star Line, Hamburg America and Norddeutscher Lloyd compete to build the biggest, fastest and most luxurious ocean liner ships in the world. This competitive building would see various ships claim the Blue Riband, an award given to the fastest ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Though built as a method of transporting from point a to point b, ocean liners were seen as the height of luxury and were fitted out with dining rooms, gyms, swimming pools, lounges, music rooms and dance halls.

Though these great ships once ruled the waves, today only one ocean liner remains in service RMS Queen Mary 2. Built in 2003 for Cunard, she still operates as a liner, carrying passengers across the Atlantic.
