The Model Shipyard: Artist and Painters in Mossel Bay, Eastern Cape
Artist and Painters

The Model Shipyard is based in Mossel Bay, South Africa. The art of model shipbuilding is as old as maritime history itself. For centuries, plans of proposed new vessels, submitted to the admiralty for approval, had to be accompanied by a fully detailed scale model.
As this craft was handed down from generation to generation, model shipbuilding developed into an art that is still practiced today by professionals and hobbyists alike. Even though computer aided design and laser technology have found their way into model building, their application is limited. Ship Models are still meticulously handcrafted today as they were centuries ago.
Today there is a great demand for high, or better known as museum quality ship models to be used as objects d’ art in the decors of private homes, lounges, studies, executive offices, boardrooms, hotel foyers, restaurants etc.
