Why ModelShipMaster.com?

1/We mind the unique curves and important features of ship hulls. As an example, Google "Hinckley Talaria model" and you will see nobody else has crafted the beautiful hull of the Hinckley boat as above. You will also see the superiority of our details when you look at the stern of the boat. That is perhaps why some builders do not show their model's stern. The details on the research ship Knorr below surprised the ship's captain who admired the way we went about to obtain information. Our ingenious research skills has played an important role to bring back so many beautiful memories.

2/Our models have many intricate parts and features that will delight you. The more you look the more you will nod. The photo below shows an airplane that is taking off, and under its wings are a variety of ammunition- a feature that had never get done before, until 2022, by ModelShipMaster.

3/We make beautiful art pieces, not boring decorative accessory. Our models are acquired to be displayed prominently, not in a corner to fill space. They look alive and project characters, not 'dead' like a toy. We care about how your model looks overall so we add a wood inlay to most bases and shorten the pedestals when your model is small (Google 'Boston Whaler scale model' and you will see a pair of disproportionate pedestals.)

4/Integrity: a photo is worth a thousand words. We show photos instead of using seductive advertising language. Our photos are clear and large on computer screen. They show small quarters of the models for you to see if the parts are correct and sharp, if the windows are uniform and aligned, among other things. As a precautionary warning, do not view models on a phone -- too small to really see. We have repaired many models that looked OK from afar (equivalent to small photos) but accuracy and craftsmanship were substandard.

We don't overuse the phrase "museum quality." When you read it somewhere, have a question, as a little museum in a rural area is still called a museum. Ask for proofs of models (names and photos) built for major museums. These institutions are in the business of showcasing precious and educational objects, their curators are knowledgeable and it is extremely hard to have a model in their buildings. We know the model ship business very well and we know many have lied blatantly just to make sales.

5/Unlike other ship model companies who are mostly middlemen, ModelShipMaster is owned by artisans who actively involve in the research, production, and quality control process. We focus on products, while others rely on advertising. We can repair ship models; the middleman firms cannot. 

6/We are the only one in the USA that does not do drop-shipping. We sell only what we produce. So when you purchase from us, you are protected from junk. No horrible/fake item shows up at your door.

7/Rarity: due to the demanding nature of the art and the very limited number of capable artists, we produce very few numbers of any particular model. For example, in a period of 12 months, we build only a couple of tall ships and several cruise ships. World's best and limited items will always have their value increased exponentially when the time comes.

A model ship will stay with you for a long time. One can become a treasured heirloom while the other ends up in a garage sale. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at Services@ModelShipMaster.com or ModelShipMaster@hotmail.com. We look forward to building a spectacular model for you.
