Model shipbuilding – a hobby with history, tradition and passion

Building a model ship is more than just a pastime. This hobby looks back on a tradition that is thousands of years old:

Origins in ancient Egypt

More than 3,000 years ago, model ships were made as grave goods. These models served as symbolic companions for the afterlife – and at the same time show how precisely and in detail the craftsmen of that time worked.

Toys across generations

Ever since humans have been building ships, children have also been making toy and wooden boats. The first self-built boat often does not float perfectly – but it awakens enthusiasm for water, technology and craftsmanship.

The emergence of scale models

From the 16th century onwards, ship models were used professionally. Master shipbuilders produced miniature versions of their designs to present their constructions to kings and clients. These precursors to modern model ships were often elaborately designed masterpieces.

Today, ship modelling is a popular hobby for people of all ages – from young people to experienced professional builders.

Large selection of high-quality model ships – from sailing ships to submarines

Our range covers the entire world of maritime model making. You will find:

1. Wooden model sailing ships

Historic ships and elegant sailing ships are among the most popular models in ship modelling. They inspire with:

• delicate masts
• detailed rigging
• authentic wooden construction
• historic models such as galleons, frigates or merchant ships

These models are particularly suitable as decorative display pieces.

2. Racing boats & motorboats

For those who prefer a more modern and dynamic look, we offer racing boat models and motorboats. Many of these kits can be upgraded to functional RC models – perfect for exciting trips on the water.

3. Submarines & special ships

Submarines are technically sophisticated and fascinate with their complex construction. Model builders looking for a special challenge will find exciting kits with many details in this category.

Build your own model boat – display models or functional models?

Model boats can be divided into two main categories:

Display models

• Perfect for collectors
• High-quality visual design
• Ideal for display cases and exhibitions
• Focus on historical details and authentic design

Display models are ideal for anyone who values visual appeal, precision and fine craftsmanship.

Functional models

• True-to-scale models with technical functions
• Ideal for steering or demonstrating
• RC-compatible (radio control)
• For hobby captains who want to actually sail their model

Functional models combine craftsmanship challenges with technical demands – a hobby that never gets boring.
