The Art of Assembling Plastic Model Ships

Did you know that plastic model-making was first introduced in 1950? It was when model kits were first moulded using polystyrene materials. The method became widely used by boat manufacturers in designing their models prior to making the actual versions. Today, the art of plastic boat model-making has evolved from being a job done by boat manufacturers to a favourite hobby of many enthusiasts.

With new technical advancements, carving techniques, and continuous product enhancements for better quality of details, present day model collectors are fortunate to be guaranteed with high-quality model ships at very reasonable prices. Many of today’s model kits are exact mini-replicas of real-life ships. These boat models are perfect for display as part of your mesmerising collection in your office or study.
