Welcome to the World of Models Building

This is an excitings, rewarding experience that not only lets you build some great ships, but gets you out onto a lake on a nice sunny day to sail your model. There are many models that you can build, Fletcher Class Destroyers from World War 2, or a modern O.H. Perry Class that sails in todays United States Navy. It doesnt matter what you are interested in, its your model and you can put as much time into it as you like.

Everyone starts the same way, research. Weather you surf the internet, or purchase books with photographs of the ships that you are looking to build.

Next step is to see who sells the hull to the ship that you are looking to purchase. For instance, if you are looking at building the Ticoderoga Class Warship, the Bunker Hill, you can talk to Scale Shipyards about the fiberglass hull and fittings.

Homeport is a time-saver that you will want while building. No only does our structures has the details etched into the walls such as vents, door markers, and windows precut, but its very easy to build using the gator board material. You will see results quickly and it will save you time on your build.

I have been in this hobby for over 10 years now, and what I have found is most people are very nice and willing to share their experiences on how they built their models. If you have a question about how something was built, or more details about how I got started in the Model Warship building hobby, please use our contact form. We are happy to answer any questions.
