General Information

We stock a large range of wooden ships by ARTESANIA, BILLINGS, MAMOLI and AMATI. We also stock the tools to construct them and a selection of parts for repairs and upgrades for your model.

We also have a great little handout on rigging and planking as well as a range of books.

Please note, while some products may show images of completed models, they are for illustrational purposes only and all kits must be built (and painted if desired). Most kits to don't include paint or glue. These are sold separately.

Please be aware that these kits may contain small pieces and are not suitable for children under 4 or 5 years of age as they may pose a choking hazard.
