Urgent orders: we might be able to work
overtime but the cost will be 30%-50% more.
Note that about 20% projects are
completed not as scheduled -- could be slower or faster.
We are sorry for the long wait time. A
small group of artists can't meet the demand for top quality models. As
the queue gets longer, we must regrettably decline some requests. Being in the
business of creating fine three dimensional artwork, we appreciate your patience.
Starting in August 2023, all new purchases or
commissions of ship models that are to be used for
museums are subject to 20% increase in price. This
increase is relative to the list price of a similar
model. For example, a model priced $5,000 on our web
site would be $6,000. We are sorry, as the
accumulated inflation in the past few years has
forced us to take this action.
