RMS QUEEN MARY ocean liner model

Ocean liner models might look very good from afar but when examined closely, they are quite different. When you look, pay particular attention to accuracy. Focus on the large photos that zoom in details. A great model not only serves you well but also becomes a valuable heirloom for your children or grand children to remember you by.

Born amidst the uncertainties of a world-wide depression and the whisperings of another world war, the story of RMS Queen Mary is an enduring tale of man’s ability to rise above adversity and achieve a level of creativity that captivates the imagination. The jubilant and triumphant launch of RMS Queen Mary on 26 September 1934 by Her Majesty Queen Mary signified the end of the depression that had gripped the world and the British Empire, and provided a firm re-assertion that Britannia had the finest merchant fleet in the world.

Stretching 1,019.4 feet in length and boasting a gross tonnage of over 81,000 tons, the RMS Queen Mary was an enormous vessel for its day. Powered by steam turbines, her four propellers generated 160,000 horsepower to propel the ship to average speeds of around 28 knots.

Elegantly capturing the artistic flair of the Art Deco period, RMS Queen Mary had a subtle grace and charm that exuded an aura of sophistication and class that would never again be duplicated. From her triumphant launch to her retirement in Long Beach, California as Hotel Queen Mary, RMS Queen Mary remains one of the most fascinating ocean liners to ever take to sea.

For three decades thereafter, RMS Queen Mary would rule the Atlantic, surviving the perils of a world war, ultimately creating a legacy that led to her being called the stateliest liner afloat. In the end, RMS Queen Mary remained the final say in transatlantic luxury and class, proving she was indeed, ‘a noble tribute to the imagination of man.’

During wartime, Queen Mary carried a total of 765,429 military personnel, sailed a total of 569,429 miles. She carried up to 15,000 troops at one time.  She transported Winston Churchill three times to conferences.

Throughout her illustrious career - whether it was wrestling with the splendid SS Normandie for the coveted ‘Blue Riband’ or eluding wily Nazi U-boat captains whilst transporting thousands of essential allied military personnel during the second world war - RMS Queen Mary captivated the imagination and hearts of those who sailed aboard her.

RMS Queen Mary retired on September 19th, 1967, after completing 1,001 crossings of the Atlantic! Her legendary status continued even after her retirement. Anchored in Long Beach, California, her new home transformed the iconic vessel into a floating hotel and tourist attraction. Visitors can step aboard and explore numerous exhibits detailing the history of this magnificent ocean liner, as well as partake in special events such as afternoon tea and thrilling ghost tours. She holds a special place in the hearts of naval enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This leviathan was a symbol of luxury, sophistication, and above all, power.



Building the Queen Mary is not simple as many might think. It's a historic ship that is still afloat and numerous makers gave their models wrong features. Stairs without handrails is one of the most obvious to see. Hull shape is a huge rampant problem. Our primarily wood RMS Queen Mary ocean liner model features:

- Superior hollow hull, plank-on-frame construction.
- Windows are cutouts (not black decal or indentation). They are clean, uniform, and aligned.
- Portholes are flat just like those of the real Queen Mary. They are not indentation on a solid hull and then ridiculously painted white. They alo do not have thick brass frames which make a model a casual decoration instead of historic admiration.
- Parts are painted for accurate representation of the historic ship.
- Correct lifeboat shape. Lifeboats are covered properly. This feature is out of reach for other builders.
- High-detailed davits--another technical aspect that is only possible by us.
- Simulated steel plates, not a flat shiny hull like a cheap toy.
- Correct stern which is a very difficult to make. This is the reason many sellers do not show it. The ones who show it have it all wrong.
- For more, send us an email. It's not our interest to list all the errors from other models here. Don't be tempted by low prices. Those junk are so wrong in every single important aspect of the Queen Mary. A disgrace to the historic ship.

Our Queen Mary model comes in the three different sizes for your optimal display:

35" L x 12" T x 7" W (1/350 scale) $3,970 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous US included. Other places: $400 flat rate.

Note that the above prices are for a regular size base which  is about 1/3 of the model's length. Large base is $300-$500 extra.

"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"

"I am an ex engineering officer of this fine ship, and have just come a across your web site with the very impressive models. I see you are currently out of stock of both sizes of the Queen Mary could you please let me to know total price of both sizes including delivery to the UK. Also what length of time to complete. Once again well done look forward to hearing from you. Regards, J. Hambly"

"Dear Frank, 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. And, best of all, they are constructed here in the United States.
 
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. 
 
I purchased a modern shelving unit specifically for the display of my liners.  I always to be creative with my hobbies and outfitted the shelving unit with LED strips that can be changed in color and brightness. Here is a photo. Queen Mary is greeted with the early morning sun as she basks in its rays.  She is ready for another day on the Atlantic. The QM2 sails under a moonlit sky after a hard day at sea. The gentle blue hue gives her a restful look as she sails on.   

Paul J. Messina, Program Manager. New York 1/14/2023."
