Description

Handcrafted, scratch built and ready-made scale of HMS Endeavour Open Hull Model Ship

From as early as the 16^th century, rumours were going around that the great southern continent was more than a traveller’s legend. Many European nations were keen to be the first to reach and colonise these lands.

In the 18^th century, Lt James Cook made history by discovering the unknown islands on the Australian subcontinent. HMS Endeavour, built at Whitby, North Yorkshire was his carrier for the epic voyage.

Lt James Cook gave instructions for the bark to be refitted and in 1786, set sail for the famous journey now known as the ‘first voyage of discovery’. In 1769 Cook landed one of the ship’s boats at what is now called Botany Bay in New South Wales and earned the distinction of being the first European to make landfall on the east coast of Australia.

On March 7, 1775, HMS Endeavour was refitted and sold to the Navy and sailed for 15 more years. She was purchased by French interest in 1790, and renamed La Liberte. In 1793, she ran aground off Rhode Island and was later broken up. A replica of the ship was later commissioned at Fremantle as recently as 1994.

Our flawless replica comes as an open hull scale model of this historic vessel. Using the finest quality materials and craftsmanship our highly skilled artisans have produced a truly beautiful centre piece. With an impeccable level of detail, this model of a ship incorporates inclusive features of the HMS Endeavour.

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.
