“I have been buying ship models from you for over 20 years. 7 models all together. I have been most happy with my models and especially the after sales service and enquires. Keep up the good work. I’m 82 yo now and a model is taking me longer and a bit more thought, but still enjoyable. I have ordered the Titanic and awaiting delivery at present. We have an association with the Captain being a distant relative. My wife is a keen collector of everything Titanic. Can’t think where I’m going to put it when I finish it. I’m just about shipped out. 🤣”

“It is sad that you are so far away from the USA. The shipping cost is too much for me to do bussiness with your company. That is not a bad reflection on your company, just a statement of fact. Sorry!!”

“I’m new to ship modeling but not model building in general. I was fortunate enough to find your website which allowed me to increase my modeling tools to support this new shipbuilding hobby. Thank you for that.”

“Always a bit nervous ordering from overseas, but the lovely little Sirius Cannon kit arrived safely in the UK only 6 working days after dispatch. It looks great, with clear instructions and quality materials. I'll certainly be shopping here again.”

“I just found this website while working on my first wooden boat model. Glad to know there is a resource out there for builders needing the odd things for boats. Please don't hesitate to expand!”

“I have been pleased with service and products that I have received from Modelers Central, true quality products. That is why I was puzzled with the Amati/Victoria Model 'FiFie' I purchased which has very exacting instructions and photo manual, but came with shortened planking materials (not full length as shown in the manual) without instructions for installation, and now finding that there is a shortage of 1mm x 1mm walnut members in order to finish the decking, which I had to purchase separately from Modelers Central?”

“When trying to purchase stanchions, your website does not provide the number of items per packet. - [ ] 2 packs of stanchion - brass - straight - 25/64” X 1 Hole (10mm) - [ ] 8 packs of stanchion - brass - straight - 25/64” X 2 Hole (10mm) Perhaps a web glitch or my iPhone didn't allow pop ups??? I needed about 84, and at $2.53 per pack, I assumed there were 10 per pack. Order #134801] (December 30, 2024) Product Quantity Price Stanchion - Brass - Straight - 25/64" x 1 hole (10mm) 2 $2.53 Stanchion - Brass - Straight - 25/64" x 2 hole (10mm) 8 $12.44 Subtotal: $14.97 Shipping: $17.50 via Standard Payment method: Credit Cards Total: $32.47 You saved $2.64”

“First rate supplier. Wide range of products from both common and not so common manufactuers. The local product "Modellers Shipyard" is right up there with the best of the international suppliers (better than most of them in fact). Orders are dispatch quickly and are well wrapped for transport. Any correspondence is answered quickly and with a friendly demeanour. Very happy.”

“Dear Sirs, I took a chance and ordered from you, me living in the states. I’m not sure I will use you again. Ordering was not the problem, mail was the problem. The price and the time were way over the top. I’ll maybe try again if the postage is realistic. Thank you for an other wide great experience. Jim”

“The items I ordered were packed in such a way, that even a major accident, would have kept the items safe. The voyage informations, which Australia Post sent to me, were the best I have ever experienced, thank you A.P.”
