Model repairs.
If you have a model boat that is in need of repair or a simple cleaning, we can help!
To give you the best possible attention for your repair, please begin with sending us as many detailed photographs of the damage via email and we can provide a ballpark estimate for the work. This will give you an idea of what would need to be spent on the work. The more photographs you send, the more accurate our repair estimate can be. We have seen all kinds of damage and we have several inquiries each week with regard to repairs.

It's quite common for customers to think: "It'll be easier if I just come by and bring it in." Since we are a small staff and reserved appointments for estimates can get costly, we kindly ask that you start with a photograph. If you insist that bringing the model in for repair is the best way for you to move forward, then do so, and we will contact you within a few weeks once we are able to review the work involved. We cannot guarantee on the spot estimates.
If you would like to further protect your investment with a glass case, we can have one custom made for you. Visit our Custom Display Cases page for details.

Restoration & Repair
If you have an antique model or pond boat, you may want to consider having it repaired or cleaned. Over the years, I have gathered quite a collection of antique woods, bone (whale and hoofed beasts) and ivory that I use for this purpose. A good example of the process is the 19 th century bone, wood and ivory model of the New York packet ship, “Helena”. The “before and after” can be pretty dramatic.
If you would like to have your model repaired, please contact me to discuss your project.
A large portion of the work I do is repairing and cleaning old or antique ship models. It is an aspect of ship modeling that takes a special approach. For each repair I perform, I create a document that outlines, in text and photos, my conclusions about the model and the reasons for making the repairs in the manner I did.
If you’d like to see what a typical repair/restoration document looks like, click here . The document is a bit on the long side, but I think it will give you a good idea of what the repair process is like for a large project.

Model Restoration
A Sneak Peak into the world of Model Boat Restoration…
We are noticing more and more ship, boat and yacht model owners are bringing in their models for Restoration. Whether the models were bought at an auction, build by a keen enthusiast or passed down generations, there always seems to be a fascinating story behind the models we get coming through the door.
So whether the models have been damaged through wear and tear, attacked by pets, damaged in transit, built up dust, unfinished models, you name it we’ve seen it. Each restoration is different but essentially it’s about maintaining the integrity and keep as much of the original model preserved.
Our lead model Restorer Plamen, (pictured below) has almost 30 years’ experience to his name; a keen enthusiast and perfectionist, Plamen has a real passion for building and restoring models to their glory.
When asking Plamen, he says ‘the most important task in the restoration process was to ensure that any work done on the model would keep the model as close as possible to the original model.’
Above we have an example of a Model Boat Restoration carried out in the UK. The photos sent to us by the client capture the model boat in its prime. These photos allowed us to ensure that any work done to the model would not change the general appearance of the model too much from the original.
But at 2 meters in length and filled with heavy machinery it wasn’t an easy task.
From examining the model we noticed that unfortunately the wood was rotten.
In the above picture the extent of the rot can be seen clearly along the left side of the deck.
The model’s deck also had several removable parts which allowed access to the parts beneath.
The above picture displays how the deck has been removed to show the parts underneath. During the restoration process several new parts for underneath the deck were produced and replaced the old parts.
The old paint was stripped from the model; as seen in the picture below.
The model was then repainted, giving attention to matching the old model’s colours and giving the model boat an authentic look.
The above picture shows the model after the restoration process had been completed. The photo is a good representation of the quality of the painting that was undertaken.
The structure was treated with conservation solutions, to avoid woodworms affecting the model again.
In total the restoration process took 8 weeks.
Displayed below are two photos; one which shows the condition of the model when it was initially received and the second showing the model following the completion of the restoration process.
The above two pictures show the extent of the quality and care involved in the restoration process. They also demonstrate how we have closely matched the client’s expectations whilst also improving the overall quality and appearance of the model.

1. Maritime Models Restoration Process
Thorough research is essential for understanding the historical context and original appearance of the model ship or boat.
This may involve:
- studying archival documents
- historical photographs
- naval records
- and similar artifacts
This helps me to gather information about the vessel’s design, construction, and usage.
2. Cleaning Miniature Models
Each cleaning step brings out more of the marine miniatures original beauty..
Cleaning a miniature model vessels is a delicate process. I use soft brushes, cotton swabs, and gentle solvents to remove dust and grime without damaging the original materials.
It’s important to be gentle to avoid damaging any fragile parts. Sometimes, I find old varnish or paint that needs to be carefully stripped away.
It’s amazing how a thorough cleaning can reveal the hidden beauty of a model that’s been neglected for so long.
3. Maritime Models Repairs & Replacements
Repairing any maritime model vessel requires patience and precision..
Whether it’s hand-carving a new mast, sewing new sails, or carefully rigging new lines, each step requires precision and a deep understanding of the original construction techniques.
I always strive to use materials that match the original as closely as possible, ensuring that the restored model is both authentic and durable.
The goal is to make repairs that are seamless and maintain the model ship or boats authenticity.
4. Painting & Finishing Miniature Vessels
The final touches that bring the model ship or boat replica back to life..
Using historically accurate colours and techniques, I aim to preserve the model’s aged appearance while giving it a fresh look.
Varnishing or waxing protects the model from future deterioration, ensuring it can be admired for years to come.
It’s incredibly satisfying to know that my work helps preserve a piece of maritime history.

Model Ship Repair and Refurbishment services
Model ship repair service.
As with their full size couterparts model ships can require the same sort of professional attention that real vessels receive during their working lives. Accidents happen from time to time and models can be damaged in transit to shows around the world or for example when your company moves premises. We provide free quotes for insurance claims for accidental damage to model boats and all our repair work is carried out to the same exacting standards of durability and finish that all our modelmaking work is known for.
Model Ship Refurbishment and Refitting service
Model ships should be as close a representation of real vessels as possible. But scale models can be finished some time before a vessel enters service and sometimes before the ships' end design is finalised. A vessel might be refitted with additional equipment, modified to fulfill different roles or simply repainted as an owners corporate identity changes.
If it is important to you that your models accurately reflect the in service configuration of a vessel we offer a model ship refit service. With modifications, additional parts and refinishing we can bring your model completely up to date so it accurately represents your ship as it is in service today, enhancing its effectiveness as a promotional tool and maximising the investment you originally placed in your model.
