Modelship Dockyard

Modelship Dockyard is a relatively young, China-based manufacturer of high-end wooden ship model kits, founded by a team of ship modeling enthusiasts frustrated with outdated designs, poor materials, and imprecise production found in older kits on the market. The brand emphasizes rigorous historical research, precise 3D design, and modern manufacturing (laser cutting) to create plank-on-frame (POF) and plank-on-bulkhead (POB) kits using premium woods such as pear and boxwood. The company is best known for detailed kits of 18th-century Royal Navy sailing warships, particularly English frigates, including HMS Blandford (1719 Establishment 20-gun ship), HMS Pandora, and HMS Enterprize/Enterprise (1774, 28-gun sixth-rate frigate), which has been released in both 1:96 and 1:48 scales. Their designer and representatives (referred to in community forums by names such as Victor and wuxiaomeng) are active on modeling forums such as Ships of Scale, engaging directly with builders and offering support such as planking upgrade packs. Modelship Dockyard kits are distributed internationally through specialty retailers such as Dry-Dock Models & Parts and Premier Ship Models, and the brand has built a growing following among wooden ship modelers for its historically researched subjects and precision-engineered parts, despite some builder feedback noting that instructions can occasionally be brief or inconsistent.
