The models have been carefully and extensively researched, from reliable sources - including plans from maritime museums. Complete assembly is undertaken prior to the release of each model, to confirm the fit of each part.
The larger vessels in this range are presented as boxed kits, complete with diagrams and illustrations. These are very detailed kits, using various mediums (resin, white metal and brass) and computer generated artwork to give the finest detail possible.
Brass Sails:
With a view to creating lighter, more true to scale sails, these are in photo
etched brass. Using this medium, sails are a mere 8thou thick and the detail on both sides
of the sail are maintained.
SEA BASES: A resin sea base is now available for the main
models in this range.
This is a full
sea base, with textured 'sea' and central indent for the hull. Not to be
confused with the Tilt Bases which only fit under the hull to give a tilt to the model.
