Boats
- What are model boats?
Model boats are made from different types of wood. The boats are made like real boats - first, the ribs of the boat are assembled, then the wood is added to the outside. The masts of our model boats are made of fabric that the masts of real boats of the past were also made out of. Last, the decorations are added, such as the bronze cannons. It is possible to have a boat made completely as the client wishes. We sell the best-known Dutch and German historical boats as default. These boats are purchased from a boat supplier. We can supply display cases with the boats. The displays protect the boats and prevent dust from getting on them. A special category among the boats is the speedboats. These are made in the same way as the historical boats. Even the interior of the boat is made of real leather. These speedboats have the option of being made in life-size.
- Can model ships float?
Classic boats cannot float. This is because there is no load in the boats. Hence, they are too light to float on the water. The speed boats, on the other hand, can float and are suitable to present themselves that way.
- Can you control a model ship or boat?
Yes, the boats can be fitted with remote-controlled motors. However, this is at an additional cost. There is also an option for us to prepare the boats remote-controlled without motors. This is also with additional charges.
- How are SFD display boats transported?
They are packed in a crate with rubber bands. This way the boats are unable to move, preventing any damage done to the boats. We deliver our model boats to any country of your choice. Depending on the size of the boat, there may be some additional costs. If this is the case, we will always let you know in advance.
