Any Other Types

This is the section to look at when you know roughly what you want but not which category it falls under, or when the person you are buying for already has a tall ship and a liner and would not thank you for a third.

Lifeboat models

Lifeboats are the most requested subject in this section by some distance. The combination of a recognisable hull, the orange and blue livery and a genuine connection to coastal communities makes them a popular gift for crew, fundraisers, station supporters and anyone living on the coast. Models are built with the correct superstructure, wheelhouse, rails and deck fittings for the class.

What else appears here

• Paddle steamers and steam driven craft
• Submarines, surfaced on a cradle or waterline
• Harbour and service craft, pilot boats and dredgers
• Historic curiosities and one-off designs
• Non marine subjects, where we carry them

Sizes and settings

Because the subjects vary, so do the sizes. Some are compact desk pieces for a study or office shelf, others are larger models built to show deck detail. All arrive complete, built in timber with metal and resin fittings, painted and mounted on a stand.

They suit themed interiors as well as collections: pubs, restaurants, hotels, marine offices, lifeboat stations and coastal properties.

Common questions

Do you sell lifeboat kits too?

Yes, in our model ship kits section, including kits suitable for radio control conversion.

What if the vessel I want is not listed anywhere on the site?

Our custom service builds to order from plans or photographs, and unusual subjects are a regular part of that work.

Are these models to the same standard as the main ranges?

Yes. They are built to the same three quality levels as the rest of our ready made models.
