CLASSIC WOODEN MOTOR BOATS

"You are moving at racing speed, parting the buttery sea as with a scalpel, and waters roar by, themselves exuberantly subdued by your powers."--WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR.
 



We at Model Ship Master build finest wooden classic boat models in the world. We have inventory of  exotic and precious wood from Russian forests to Indonesian jungles and many of our artists have over 30 years of micro woodworking experience.

In 2008, we was chosen by the owner of a Century Coronado boat that won best in show at the 2006 Coeur d'Alene Wooden Boat Show and 2008 Sheriff's Award to build a model of the boat.

in 2007, Praendex Pacific's president purchased in person four museum-quality classic boat models from Model Ship Master.
