Model Ships USA

Welcome to Model Ships USA. Our museum quality, wooden model ships and model sailboats are truly unique and are not constructed from kits. All of our model sailing boats and model sailing ships are made completely from scratch using the “plank on frame” construction method. From Titanic models to wooden kayaks, even wood model Viking ships and more, our high quality models make excellent gifts, elegant decor and great conversation pieces. Right down to the real brass and chrome fittings, our models are a cut above the rest. From our model cruise ships to our elegant and modern model yachts we use only the finest materials. Even our wooden canoes are handcrafted with the most meticulous precision and care. Everything you need to proudly show your one-of-a-kind sea-faring vessel is right here. We’ve got a great selection of model ship display cases for you to choose from. Even if you’re not looking for modern model sailing ships and model sailing boats we’re sure to have something you’ll love. From our Titanic models to our exclusive wood model Viking ships, our collection of museum quality models is comprehensive and complete. Our wooden model ships and model sailing boats are unsurpassed in quality, care and attention.

Again, all of our wooden model ships and boat models are delicately handcrafted by some of the best skilled and experienced craftsmen. Each model is built to a scale of the original ships, by using the original plans and pictures and using the “plank on frame” construction method. The model’s hull is joined by multi-pieces of dry thin wood glued together. Inside the hull, we use high quality epoxy which helps the thin wooden bars to bond close to one another and not split, crack or twist even in variable climatic conditions.Every model ship or model boat is individual packed in a carton box. Most of them, a wooden frame is used to protect each from breakage for if the box is accidentally tipped over, dropped, etc… For ships and yachts with simple details, they are packed with masts fold down.
