Sailing Ship Models

Wooden and plastic sailing ship models are one of our offerings for model-making enthusiasts. This category features model kits for ships from various eras, from ancient vessels, through galleons from the Age of Discovery, to 19th-century tea clippers and ships from the American Civil War period. The available kits allow for the self-assembly of historical replicas. Many of them, especially those for beginners, include basic materials and tools such as glue, paintbrushes, paints, or simple tools like cutters and a file. Each model comes with a clear, often pictorial, instruction manual that guides you step-by-step through the construction process.

Which Sailing Ship Models to Choose – Wooden or Plastic?

The choice between a wooden and a plastic model mainly depends on the modeler's preferences and experience. Plastic models, typically in popular scales like 1:72 or 1:350, are characterized by high-precision molding and often fewer parts, making them a good choice for starting your ship modeling adventure. On the other hand, wooden sailing ship models are an option for more patient and advanced hobbyists. They require shaping wooden strips, precisely fitting hull components, and creating complex rigging. The final effect is incredibly realistic and satisfying, and the model gains a unique, classic character.
