Model Types
We professionally package all of our tall model ships, model boats and model sailing ships. For our Special Edtion model ships (HMS Victory, USS Constitution and Cutty Sark) extra precautions are taken as the models are professionally crated. This ensures that your model ship will not be damaged during shipping. Please compare how we package our model ships to other boat model sellers. Make sure when choosing a tall model ship that it is packaged like shown to the right.

- The hull, front and back of the model ship rests in styrofoam and are secured with bungee straps. This ensures that the model cannot move during shipping.
- The model is then surrounded by a wood frame to ensure that none of the masts or booms are damaged.
- The wood frame has styrofoam on all of its edges to provide a cushion of safety to the wood frame when the box is moved.
- We then perform a seven-point inspection to make sure that your model is perfect before it is shipped.
- The model, safely surrounded by its wood frame, is then placed inside of a heavy, industrial-strength cardboard box.
- The box is marked with "This Side Up" and "Fragile" stickers to ensure that it is handled properly.
- We have been shipping with DHL Express and DHL Danzas for years. They know we sell model ships and handle the packages with extreme care.
- As a result of all of our precautions, less than 1% of our models are damaged during shipping.
