Makers of World's Finest Hand-made Model Ships

Visit the CEO of Newport News, the chief of the U.S. Navy, the Pentagon, the Smithsonian or the Whitehouse and you will see examples of Maritime ModelWorks models on display. Whether it is a military ship, a commercial liner, a freighter or your own pride and joy- be it a sailboat or power yacht, the Maritime ModelWorks craftsmen can make them all, with incredible attention to detail and museum quality workmanship.

For over 20 years, Maritime ModelWorks has been producing the world’s finest ship replicas. Be it a full model, a half-hull or transom, each model is precisely finished according to scale drawings. Our model shipwrights spend hundreds of hours completing the process of carving, painting, rigging and hand-making the fittings that transforms the model into a work of art.

As you’ll see from our product selection, we offer an astonishing selection of maritime model products. Our modern naval vessel collection includes warships from World War II to the latest nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). As a gift for yourself or someone you know, we can easily create a made-to-order model with personalization of the model plaque or base, perhaps commemorating their years of service on a specific vessel.

Our collection also includes replica models of timeless naval classics such as the USS Constitution, HMS Victory, HMS Bounty, as well as J-class racing yachts including Endeavour, Shamrock and Ranger.

A particular specialty area for Maritime ModelWorks is our Custom Models - creating replica models of private sailing and power yachts. As you’ll discover, if you can take a photograph, you can have a model made of your boat. It is that simple! Our custom model specialists work to with you to create a masterpiece which you will be proud to display and cherish forever. We focus on the details – like reproducing a client’s exact helm station layout - down to the electronics package, gauges and wheel cover. Our master modelmakers will even recreate the deck furniture or any deck toys in exact detail, whether it’s a tender, jet skis or that compliment of shining fishing rods which are positioned in the rod holders. We can even match the canvas work down to the bimini and dodger! Working from your own photographs and our extensive library of shipbuilder's blueprints, our master craftsmen will create a model that will bring you continued pleasure, even when you must switch from captain’s chair to desk chair.
