MY Hampshire Model Yacht

Description

Model Yacht of the MY Hampshire

This custom built model ship of the MY Hampshire was built in our UK workshop by expert model makers with vast experience in producing high quality and accurately detailed, beautiful ship models. This model is an example of the level of expertise and knowledge that our UK-based model makers possess. It is also an example of the quantity of work that is undertaken when producing a quality model such as this one; including hours of research to obtain ship plans and also the actual building of the model.

The original yacht is a Motor Yacht called Hampshire and is 56.5 metres in length. The yacht was commissioned as a custom build by Feadship in Aalsmeer (Netherlands). The yacht has a steel hull with an aluminum superstructure, a beam of 10.1 metres and a 2.98 metre draft. The materials used and the design of the yacht allow her to reach a max speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 13 knots; fairly impressive for a yacht of her size. Her fuel tanks of 105,000 letres allow her to glide along the waters for fairly long periods of time. Having been refitted in 2005 and currently capable of accommodating up to 12 guests and 15 crew; she is unfortunately not currently available for charter. Her beauty and grace however have attracted much attention from yacht enthusiasts across the world.

This model ship was built following the request from a client and therefore forms part of our range of custom built model ships. This range has increasingly grown over recent years and we have satisfied hundreds of customers across the globe. This particular model was built in our UK workshop, which has been gaining more and more recognition for their level of craftsmanship and strong attention to detail. If you have anymore questions regarding this model or our UK workshop then please do not hesitate to contact us.

After a Dutch company told me they were no longer taking orders, a Chinese company did not respond and an American one did not offer the desired finish, I ended up at Premier Ship Models in January 2024. I opted for a premium finish from 6-8 months for the build of a 1990 Hinkley Sou'wester. With nothing more than a top view and a side view and a lot of photos they got to work. 9 times I got an update with photos to assess the progress and make comments. I happily made a photo album of this. I asked for quite a few corrections, which were all carried out. The only downside was a huge underestimation of the shipping costs. But the ship was very well packed and delivered in September. The sailing ship had suffered a bit on the journey, but I was able to repair that easily, except for the downhaul - it was too simple and would break off again immediately. I left that out (it would still be nice to receive a "real life" version). The correspondence was very good, my sincere thanks to the team for the great job!

The first time I used Premier Ship Models was for a kit of the Batavia, this year. (2024). I was so happy with the service that when I was looking at getting the 'ghost ship' The Flying Dutchman, I checked around online and was extremely pleased to find they had it. Not only that but they were cheaper than other model ship kit suppliers I have used in the past. And again, on top of that it only took 8 days to get from placing the order in the UK to having FedEx deliver it on my doorstep in Western Australia. To put that into perspective, I am still awaiting delivery via Australia Post for some parts from Sydney NSW, three separate orders placed 15 days ago.... Extremely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone.

Premier Ship Models did a great job of finding the kit I was after, an Aeronaut Pilot boat. Once found, it shipped quickly, but was held up in customs. Premier reached out to me and customs, and I received the kit a few days later. Premier is now one of my go-tos for European and Asian rc ship models.

Best place for your model needs without a doubt. I had a little trouble with an order (not Premier's fault) and I couldn't have asked for better support. Whenever I needed an answer or had a question the people at Premier responded usually within 24 hrs. They never left me waiting for an answer. Best business I have seen for customer service.
