About the Hapag Lloyd Colombo Express model ship

The Colombo Express model ship has been scratch-built by the master craftsmen, using her original plan and photographs. The model has been built as accurately as possible, with miniature containers to replicate those on the vessel.

This model requires hundreds of hours of work before completed and undergoes a stringent quality control process before leaving the workshop. The team of master craftsmen make use of their skills and expertise to build the hulls and bridges exclusively out of hand-picked hardwoods. Also used for building real-life ships, the construction method used is known as the plank-on-frame technique, and takes years to master. In order to create a smooth finish, the model ship is sanded and varnished, before the painting begins. The details on this ship have been replicated using polished brass and metal finishes. The Colombo Express model ship would make an exquisite addition to any space. The model is mounted on a solid wooden base and includes a brass plate.

This model is not a kit and is ready for display.
