Scale Models in Brass

The main reason we use brass in our production line is that this particular material allows us to cut, mold, weld and acid-etch the brass in order to follow actual scale plans. We avoid and prohibit the use of decals or paint to represent moldings, fixtures and railings, as in most resin models found in the market. The use of brass facilitates constructing the replica on top of the drawing plans so floors and decks are as accurate as the actual life size version. Tubular items can also be worked to scale. The brass is then painted and lacquered to finish.



Other manufacturers in brass are still struggling to achieve the quality this product has accomplished. This original brass replica factory group has been in business for over thirty years and also produced many replicas on display throughout the world. Please feel free to browse our site to learn more about the deep history of the scale replica market. We stand by our model boat craftsmanship against any manufacturer, brass or other. We also have pictures document our ship model packaging.


The factory doesn't computerize the process of the use of FRP in the making of the master mold for the hull of a ship. The mold is built considering the scale and structure of the hull as designed. The hull is filled then removed out of the mold, portholes are cut, or designed into the mold, then the material is sanded and prepared for attachment to the brass deck for prior painting and finish. Some of the pictures below hopefully depict the process accurately to give you an idea of the consistent, focused, dedicated and professional conduct required to produce a work of art such as this.
