ALBATROSS Model Boat:

Please send it as soon as you can, once again thanks for your prompt service.
(UK Client August 2006)

Just a quick email to let you know I have received the model today, thanks. May I say the packaging is 1st class, strong and secure; the model arrived without any damage. The model look stunning and beautiful looks even better than the photos. After seeing that, I will certainly buying another one in the near future, so I will be in contact with you soon.

The model is first rate and I will recommend to other model ship collectors.
Thanks again for all the help.
( UK Client March 2006)

Just a quick note to let you know that both Albatross and America model boats docked safely at Longboat Key, and both look great. Thank you so much for your kind attention to all this. The Albatross model boat is a lovely little ship, although she does look a little lost in our apartment. With the benefit of hindsight, I probably should have got the full sized ship model of the USS Constitution, but I was a little apprehensive about the size. Anyway, I'll save that for another day. Once again, many thanks. I am showing your brochure to all my friends.
With best regards. (USA Client for the Albatross and America 2003).

Our ship model arrived last week while we were away. It arrived in excellent condition and looks very nice. As the third model ship in my small collection and first from England, I consider it very special.  
Thanks for your help throughout the ordering process.
Regards, (USA Client 2004).

The Albatross ship model you sent me surpassed my best expectations.Congratulations, looking forward for our next friendly co-operation.
(Greek Client June 2005)

AMERICA CUP J Class Yacht:

I-thank you for your confirmation.

I found your details via google and have spent two weeks researching mode boats. I found your quickly and came back to it as the site was easy to navigate, looked best quality etc. And when I came back you had an offer on, so even better. I look forward to receiving it. Many Thanks (UK Client July 2007)

BERGENSFJORD Ship Model

He loves it!  Sorry I was on vacation and forwarded it to him so that he could respond.  But he loves it! Continue on!
(USA Client August 2006)

AMERIGO VESPUCCI  Tribute Ship Model:

Hi Thank you for the model ship.  It looks great and my husband loves it!  A couple of the small lifeboats need repairing but apart from that it arrived in good condition, especially as it probably gets thrown around in transit!
 
Your service is exceptional and I would have no hesitation in recommending you.

(UK Client) August 2008)

AMERIGO VESPUCCI Model Ship Kit

BATAVIA Ship Model:

Now that the model of the Batavia is on its way to Sharjah, I would like to thank you for the very thorough, friendly and professional manner in which you managed the project at your end. As you know, we faced an incredibly tight initial programme. We also faced difficulties in sourcing drawings and other building information.

Added to this, your model makers were being asked to produce a model to a much higher standard than their previous ones. Thankfully, everyone at Model-Ships rose to these challengers magnificently. As a result, we now have a very impressive 'musuem quality' model, which I am sure will greatly impress the client - His Royal Highnedd, the Ruler of Sharjah.

It has been a pleasure to have worked closely with you on this project. I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks and congratulations to your colleague. They have performed splendidly!

With all best wishes (U .A.E Client October 2006)

Blue Nose 11 model kit

Hi rehaz,

Thank you I have received my model Bluenose 2 kit today precisely as you quoted. Like a child with a new toy I have opened it and I am absolutely delighted.

Thank you and look forward to doing business with you again.

Regards , John Smith , Buyer of Blue Nose 11 model kit (UK Sept 09)

BRIER HOLME Ship Model:
I was very pleased to collect my custom ship model of the three masted barque Brier Holme the other day. The ship model is wonderful and is a very accurate copy of the original vessel. The detail is marvellous and all the workmanship is superb.

To make this custom ship model from photographs only, and no plans as such, is a great achievement. It really is beautiful and admired by my friends. You have created a ship model of this 1876 vessel which will be handed down through the generations.
(UK Client May 2005)

BRIXHAM TRAWLER  Model Boat:
Model arrived. Excellent model first class. Looks great. Good quality. Just unfortunate that postage is very dear in comparison to the price of the model but I suppose there is nothing we can do about that. Might be worth thinking about buying any models all at once to save on postage. Probably as cheap to send 2 or 3 models as it is to send one? Thank you very much for kind attention. ( Northern Ireland Client Sept 2006)

CUTTY SARK Ship Model:
Just a quick note to let you know that the ship model of the Cutty Sark was received today. Very nice indeed. Thanks for your help and prompt attention. I look forward to receiving the Dutch Botter model ship in due course.
Regards (UK Client July 2005)

Please send the receipt to me per the address that Rachel gave you last week.
Thanks again for your speedy and prompt service, we really do appreciate it.
Regards (UK Client June 2007).

Thank you.  The model arrived safely and looks fine on a stand that I have made myself.

(UK Client May 2007)

I have been buying online from Model-Ships for almost two years and having purchased about ten different models I may confidently recommend Model-Ships to all collectors.The craftman is detailed and perfect. The shipment is precise. The service provided by the team is both professional and very friendly.I'd like to thank everyone in Model-Ships for the extraordinary service provided each and everytime I place an order. I will definitely be coming back for more pieces for my collection. 

Thank You (Turkish Client Sept 2006)

I’m writing to you to say that the model arrived fast and safe. My boyfriend got it two days ago for his birthday, and was very much impressed!! J-class Endeavour matched his taste exactly!! Thanks a lot for your support and help in choosing the right model.  Best wishes to you and your company, (Norwegian Client April  2006)

I purchased the boat from you in April and was shipped to me in perfect condition.Very pleased with the model and our business transaction. (USA Client April  2006).

The models arrived safely a few days ago and are very nice, thank you.
Do you have many customers in New Zealand?  I’m just curious, because people here are really into boats – especially yachts and fishing/pleasure boating and Auckland is the boat owning capital of the world, I believe.  Having said that, there’s nobody here making ship models in the same way as yourselves, as far as I can tell.
Regards, (N.Zealand Client December 2005) 

ENDEAVOUR J CLASS' Model Yacht (1):
The Ship arrived safely yesterday with many thanks. My husband is really pleased with it. Just a note that it would be nice to have an information sheet re boat regarding history etc.(UK Client July 2006)

ENDEAVOUR J CLASS Model Boat Kit:

Hi There,

I promised I'd write after giving the model to my husband for Christmas,to let you have his feedback.  He was absolutely delighted with the gift and has started work on it already-although I suspect it will take him a very,  very long time to complete.  Anyway, a great success all round and something that he will enjoy for hours and hours-not to mention the fact, it keeps him out of my way!

Hope you have a good year. (UK Client Jan 2008).

HMS BEAGLE Ship Model:

Rehaz

The ship is beautiful! We are very excited, and can't wait to see it.

Please extend our gratitude to the craftspeople and everyone else associated with this project. We are especially thankful that your staff was able to complete this ambitious project on such a short timeline.

Warm regards, Tom, Luczycki, Head of Exhibits Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History ,Buyer of HMS Beagle Model Ship (USA Sept 09

Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed response.  I am very excited about acquiring the model, and will process the order per your recommendation today.  Just a note...I have been investigating several different models of the Beagle and, according to the blueprints of the boat (which I found, in detail, in a book entitled "HMS Beagle, Survey Ship Extraordinary") the model you produce is, BY FAR, the most accurate.  Thank you again...I will send the order in this afternoon.  Best regards...Marc
(USA Client December 2006)

They are lovely!!!  I'm really impressed.  Thank you for the pictures.   I like the first picture that is labeled:  HMS Bounty Mini 2.  The one that seems to be taller and has some of the sails rolled up.  Kind regards (Canadian Client January 2006)

HMS BOUNTY Model ship (3):
I guess I was surprised that no one in Canada was offering these products, or at least I couldn't locate them.  Even the local hobby store in Saskatoon, SK, Hobbyworld, did not know where to direct me.  That could be an opportunity for your company.  At least the Hobby Stores could give out contact information for you. Perhaps in the Maritime regions there is more demand for this product, but the romance of tall ships is not restricted to that demographic!
(Canada Client November 2007)

HMS BOUNTY Tribute Model:
Many thanks for the prompt despatch of the model of "Bounty" - this went down very well as a birthday gift.  very pleased indeed.

HMS SURPRISE Ship Model:
The model has arrived as per your e mail. We are all absolutely delighted with it; it is all that we anticipated and more ! Thank you for the sand glass. (UK Client Jan 2006)

Dear Rehaz

HMS Surprise has safely docked in Sudbury Massachusetts and I am delighted with it. I have been asked (by my Wife) who made it and was it all done all by one person? It is beautifully done and I anticipate adding to my collection in the future.Happy Christmas! (USA Client December 2005)

I am very well thanks. I hope you are too. Thanks for the pics. The model ship looks fantastic! You have incorporated all the changes that I asked for.   Thanks again for your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon with delivery instructions.

Today the ship model arrived in excellent shape.You guys did a great job, the 'Surprise is a model true to the detail. I could look at her for hours.  I hope not to get addicted to these ship models.......but we'll see. 
Best regards, (German Client June 2005)

The HMS Surprise model ship arrived in perfect condition, the day before my husband's birthday. It is amazingly beautiful and detailed; he was speechless when he saw it. He spent about an hour exploring it that first day, using his reference texts on O'Brian's novels to examine every detail. He was very moved by the gift and the skill and craftsmanship of your ship model builders. He's an engineer, and was particularly impressed with the way you designed and packaged the crate the HMS Surprise arrived in. He's planning on sending you and your employees his own message to express his admiration and thanks personally.

Thanks again for all your hard work, both in building this wonderful ship model and in getting it to us on time. Your work made my husband's birthday magical for him and for our family.
(USA Client Feb 05)

I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with my model boat of HMS Surprise. I have owned the ship for some time now but the pleasure I get each time I walk past has not diminished at all.  The model boat always draws very complimentary comments from friends and other visitors, both for the dramatic impact and standard of workmanship. I am sure that HMS Surprise will not be the only thing I buy from you. Excellent work! (UK Police Officer 20030

A brief note to confirm that HMS Surprise ship model arrived on time and in one piece.
I am absolutely delighted with her and thank you very much for your trouble and the unpacking instructions. Should you wish to refer any intending customer in my direction I would be delighted to commend this outstanding and very beautiful example of the modellers art to them.  Best wishes and thanks - (USA Client 2003)

Received my HMS Surprise ship model yesterday (11 June 2004). Many thanks for this fine model ship and the good service. The packing was excellent, do not know how you could have done any better.  
Respectfully, (USA Client June 2004)
 
Our ship model arrived today, and Matt is thrilled, he loves it! The husband of one of our friends may be interested in ordering one of your model ships (it's always the guys, eh?). We'll give him your e-mail address when he's decided.    
Thank you for everything! (USA Client 2003)

HMS VICTORY Ship Model:
Dear All,

We received the model last Friday and very happy with it.We thank you for your�effort and service. Much appreciated.(Brazil client July 2012)

Just wanted to let you know that I received the model Wednesday and everything was great no damage occurred in the shipping process and the model looks great just have to figure out where would be best to display it. (USA Client December 2005) 

Looks wonderful. When can you deliver it? October 18 is the last possible day before the Trafalgar Dinner at which it will be the centerpiece.
(UK Client September 2005)

Thanks for the model boat, our M.D was pleased. I have been approached by another member of staff who has shown an interest in the boat. I mentioned to him the model boat was with a special discount. He’s still interested in spite of me trying to dissuade him not to waste your time. Could you let me know what can be done for him?
Regards (UK Client  2003)

I thought that I would let you know that the HMS Victory model ship arrived safely the other day. Even after seeing the level of finish and attention to detail of your other ship models, when we met on your stand at the London Boat Show, I was still immensely impressed and pleased with the actual ship. Thank you for taking the time to add the additional paint to the hull. It was certainly worth waiting for and will now be a happy and permanent reminder of my childhood in Pompey. Regards (UK Client 2002)

MAYFLOWER Ship Model:
The  Mayflower ship models arrived this afternoon in excellent shape and look wonderful. We were so pleased they arrived before Christmas. Thanks so much. (USA Client 2002)

MAYFLOWER Model Ship Kit: 

Dear Mr Lal

My Mayflower model ship kit arrived, in perfect condition,a very few days after your notification of it's dispatch. Thank you very much.

After a very busy time at work, I have started to make the model just today. I have made one Artesania Latina model (Santa Maria) before; it took me a very long time to complete. I am very excited at the prospect of making another ship.

Thank you.

SUPERBE Ship Model:

You are a star! Fantastic! It just looked so good. I couldn't believe just how good when I saw the ship models on Saturday! Anyway..who's to say she wasn't copper bottomed when re-fitted at some point!!!  
Very kindest regards, (UK Client 2003)

Thank you so very much for the amazing model! When I came round to the showroom a few weeks ago, I was astonished by the quality of the ship models on display and couldn't help wondering and getting quite excited about the ship model I had ordered. I have to say I was stunned when I saw it, not only by the size but the quality! Thank you so much for not only providing a truly first class model ship, but also the very friendly and helpful service. I could not recommend you highly enough. I hope you have an excellent Boat Show, and look forward to seeing you on your return. I got her home safe and sound and she is now sitting on my table in the front room. I spent all the journey home just looking at it!!! Every time I pass by on the way to the Kitchen, I just stop and look (WOW!!).  

Very Kindest Regards and best wishes to you all, (UK Client 2003)
