Custom Built Ship Models
We have received many requests from ship modelling enthusiasts, maritime museums and maritime firms to custom build both accurate wooden plank on frame period ship models and (fibre glass / wooden) modern ships & warships. We have built many ship models to customer's specifications ranging from basic but very detailed ship model to the extremely detailed and accurate museum quality ship model. Such orders are given extra special care. We first consult our list of blueprints and research material to build a visual representation of the model. The customer can specify the level of detail they require. We then take the customer's special requests on board. Our craftsmen are given very specific instructions to be applied during the build of the model based on the customer's requirements.
In some cases, ship model blueprints don't exist or are unaccessible for some reason. In that case, we can work off our own research combined with the customer's specifications of the required ship model. All you have to do is determine exactly what you require, assemble the information you have and contact us at (info@admiraltyshipmodels.co.uk).

The Eras & Periods That We Focus On
We have the capability for building all types of ship models (medium or large museum quality ship models) from the different eras and periods of history. We build models of ships from the following eras:
* Pre & Post Medieval Period Ship Models & Warships
Ships of the Roman, Carthagenian, Viking & Byzantine Empires
* Britain's Reformation & Restoration Period Ship Models & Warships (1485 until 1689 AD)
This encompasses the Tudor times, the war against France, Circumnavigation of the globe by Sir Francis Drake and his battles against the Spanish Armada, John Cabot arrives in Newfoundland, Pilgrims migration to North-America, Charles the first followed by Charles the second: The building of the Sovereign of the Seas and many other warships to establish strong command of the seas. The first Navigation Act and England gains monopoly of foreign trade. The Anglo-Dutch wars. The Bill of Rights.
* Ship Models for Britain's Age of Empire (1689 until 1901 AD)
The war of the Spanish Succession, The seven years war against France. The East India Company's monopoly over trade. The american revolution and American independence. War between England & France leading to the Napoleonic Wars. During the Napoleonic Era, France constitutes a serious invasion threat to Britain & only the British Navy fleet stands in the way. Nelson's fleet led by the HMS Victory spearheads then destroys the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar but is shot in the process. Nelson dies shortly after receiving news of victory. This sparks the begining of the end for Napoleon who is defeated five years later in Waterloo. The Famine in Ireland causing mass immigration to America. Queen Victoria becomes empress of India. Britain is an Empire on which the sun never sets. Trade routes between Britain and the colonies are fully exploited. The Boer war. German naval expansion begins.

Ships of the first and second world wars. Modern Warships, Dreadnoughts, Aircraft Carriers, Minesweeper Ships, Cruise ship & luxury liners ships, private sailing yachts, private modern yachts, paddle ships, trawlers, fishing boat, river boat, canal boat, leisure boats, speedboats.

Higher Level of Build Quality for Custom Made Ship Models
For custom made ship models, we are able to produce very accurate plank on frame / bulkhead ship models with an even higher quality than what we currently have on display. It obviously takes a little longer to produce these custom made ship models but the end result is worth the wait. Everything depends on the requirements of the customer. You specify the details you want improved or added, we will implement all your requested changes to the custom model. For any further info on ordering your particular ship model, get in touch with us.

Pricing for Custom Built Ship Models & Model Warships
Naturally, custom built models do fetch a higher price than model ships. When we have discussed the details that you want implemented in the model, we then try to produce an estimate of the total price. We bear in mind the amount of working hours necessary for completion of the commissioned model. We also take into consideration the amount of extra work and care that has to be allocated to give you a very accurate ship model. Any quotes that we give you may however be subjected to revision if there are unforeseen problems during the build. Need a quote, then get in touch via our
