We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

FAQs

Scratch built models are custom-crafted by makers without using commercial kits, typically utilizing available materials like wood, metal, and thread to replicate specific vessels from direct observation or plans.

Constructors traditionally employed carved wood for hulls, wire or cordage for rigging, thin sheet metal for fittings, and hand-mixed paints to finish the exterior details.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-correct construction techniques, natural ageing of materials such as paint oxidisation or yellowing varnish, and hand-cut components rather than mass-produced plastic parts.

Position the glass-cased model on a sturdy surface like a sideboard or desk where its linear profile and historical context can serve as a focal point without cluttering the space.

Keep the object out of direct sunlight to prevent paint fading, maintain stable indoor humidity levels to protect wooden components, and clean the glass case externally using non-abrasive products.
