Occre Endurance 12008

In the race to conquer the South Pole, three names loomed large: Ernest Shackleton, Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen. The Endurance was launched on 17 December 1912 under the name “Polaris”. Originally rigged as a frigate, she was converted into a three-masted barquentine and in 1914 joined the famous Trans-Antarctic Imperial Expedition to cross Antarctica under Sir Ernest Shackleton’s command. After the Expedition was shipwrecked on 19 August 1915, the Endurance was trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea. For 522 days the explorers braved winds up to 300 km/h and temperatures of 40 degrees below zero. Shackleton and a few hand-picked men took a small boat, the James Caird, and made one of the most memorable and heroic journeys in sailing history. Together with all their crew, they accomplished the most important feat of all...surviving. The expedition is remembered as an epic story of endurance, heroism and survival.

Happy Hunter

Krick has now re-released the Happy Hunter under it's Ro-Marin Range The Happy Hunter is a scale reproduction of a Dutch ocean-going salvage tug to a scale of 1 : 50. The boat is built to be powered by a direct-drive, i.e. non-geared system, in the form of two high-torque 700 electric motors. Fixed Kort nozzles increase thrust, and the boat is capable of carrying out extremely arduous towing tasks and complex manoeuvres in conjunction with the bow thruster, which is an optional accessory. The capacious plastic hull allows the modeller to install numerous auxiliary working systems, and experienced builders will enjoy fitting out the Happy Hunter with a working lighting system, radar, anchor winch, sound system and towing mechanism. It is even possible to install a fully working crane; the crane itself is included in the kit. Click Here for further information

Aeronaut Pilot Boat 1:25

Boats of this general type are widely encountered along the Baltic and North Sea coasts. These vessels are very agile and fast, typically capable of 25 - 30 kn. Their task is to provide reliable, all-weather transport for pilots to the large ocean-going ships. The space aft of the command stand can accommodate several pilots, so that a single excursion can take all of them out to their “workplaces”. Our model very effectively incorporates the typical characteristics and handling of these boats. The model is based on a modern planing hull, and is therefore very fast and agile. The hard-chine hull is of plastic construction. All the ABS parts are supplied laser-cut, and can be slotted together and glued immediately. The hull is assembled on a Depron jig. The power system consists of two electric motors which can either be controlled individually (2 x Multi 25 speed controller) or in common by a single Multi 40 controller. Two rudder systems are used for directional control. Click Here for further information

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR MODEL BOATS

This model of HMS Victory is simply awesome. It is a true piece of art, and a testament to the passion and skill of those who created it. It is a joy to look at, and I feel privileged to have it on display in my home.

I cannot recommend this model of HMS Victory highly enough. It is truly stunning, and a must-have for anyone who loves history, naval warfare, or simply beautiful model craftsmanship. Thank you to the makers of this model for creating something so special and to the kind and top-notch service of this company.

Dom W | 21 Apr 2023

A truly excellent model which more than matched my expectations. The recipient of this gift was absolutely delighted with it, and so was I. Even the interior of the box in which it arrived was, in terms of the care taken to protect the model in transit, was a work of art. Many thanks from a more-than-satisfied customer.

Colin W | 5 Oct 2023

Everything about my order was tickety-boo. It only took DHL a little over two days to deliver the parcel to my granddaughter in America. Fast or what? The product itself is a work of art. Finally, customer service at Admiralty Ship Models was first rate.

Tim M  | 3 Oct 2022

Having recently taken delivery of my HMS Agamemnon I have to say that I’m absolutely delighted with the quality and craftsmanship. Indeed, the website photos do not start to do justice to the incredible level of detail and to the skill & care that’s gone in to producing such an outstanding model.

I would also commend Admiralty for the excellence of the packing of such a delicate item,  and of their all round first rate customer service. The passion that they have for what they do is quite evident in all aspects of their products and service.
