Model Ships USA's Quality Ship Shopping Guide:
You may be wondering, why is it so important of where I buy the wooden model
that I like? There are a lot of merchants selling mass produced (assembly
line) made replicas by taking your ordinary kit or imported parts and putting it
together as fast as possible. You need to know what you are purchasing.
This is OK if you are not looking for quality in your model.
The quality displayed in a model ship raises a lot of questions:
What is it made of?
How is the model made? -- What is the craftsmanship?
How much detail?
Is it built to scale?
All of these questions depend on what you are looking for in a model ship or boat. There are different
levels of building models for ones particular needs:
Model Ships USA carries items for the Museum-quality collector / expert-level buyer: Each
boat is 100% handcrafted using the finest woods in the world and built using the plank on frame
method. These models are made with woods such as Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other
exotic tropical wood. Many of our models are built using real authentic Chrome and brass
for the rigging and ornaments on them. We are so confident in each of our museum-quality
products, that we back each sale with a 30-day, 100% money back guarantee. As the old saying goes
"You Get What You Pay For".

All of these questions depend on what you are looking for in a model ship or boat. There are different
levels of building models for ones particular needs:
- Entry level collector / buyer: These replicas are very basic in their make up. The wood, paint,
and finishes are fairly cheap. If you're just trying to add some decor to your home or office, these
may be what you are looking for (relatively inexpensive). These wooden crafts are not
necessarily built to scale and will in time, like everything else, decrease in value. - Intermediate level collector / buyer: These wooden models are basically the same as entry level
other than they are built with a little more detail in mind. These models take more time to build, so
naturally they are a little more expensive in comparison with the entry-level models. Although,
for the most part, these replicas are relatively affordable to anyone, they too will decrease in
value over time. - Museum-quality collector / buyer: These models ships or boats are the "cream of the crop" in
model building. They are built to scale using the original blueprints. These models are not built
from a kit, but rather by skilled artisan craftsmen. Many of these models take hundreds of man-
hours to complete with the utmost detail in mind. These expert-level models are collectors items
and will increase in value overtime if they are properly cared for. These models can be rather
expensive, depending on the size and detail of the ship.

"Dear Model Ships USA,
I received my USS Constitution today
and I just wanted to let you know that
this ship was beyond my expectation.
The model ship is better than your site's
pictures. Again thanks for a wonderful
product.
Sincerely,
Steve"

Wow!, what a product. My new model
ship is sitting on a shelf in my office. I
couldn't believe my eyes when I opened
the box and their she was. Thanks for
brightening up my office. I'm thinking of
starting a collection and you've won my
business. It was a great pleasure doing
business with you.
Again thanks!
