ENGLISH GALLEON GOLDEN HIND

Sir Francis Drakes ship of exploration was a small English galleon called the Golden Hind. Drake circumnavigated the world in this ship between 1577 and 1580 ( wikipedia entry ).  This sailing ship is a popular subject of wooden ship modelers, and Ages of Sail carries several different kits.

OcCre's  wooden model ship kit is probably the most popular at the time. This plank-on-bulkhead kit is easy enough for new builders, but includes beautiful quality wood, and carries an affordable price.

Constructo makes a much bigger ship model kit, which features more cast metal fittings, which have a better, more realistic appearance, but it probably for more advanced ship modelers.

We also carry Golden Hind kits from Mamoli , Mini-Mamoli , and offer a Deluxe Combo Set that includes tools, glues, and more, based on the OcCre model kit.

ARMED TRANSPORT HMS BOUNTY

HMS Bounty was an armed merchant ship in service with the British Royal Navy, and it was on a mission to collect breadfruit plants in the South Pacific, but the ship is most well known for the infamous mutiny against Captain Bligh by a crew led by Fletcher Christian ( wikipedia entry ). This 3-masted square-riggers is another popular subject among ship model builders.

Amati's kit may be the most beautiful of the available wooden model ship kits of the Bounty. It is one recommended for advanced ship modelers, though a careful intermediate modeler might build a successful model.

Amati's First Step kit is a small, solid hull, wooden model ship kit designed for the first time ship modeler, young or old.

Artesania Latina's kit  as well as OcCre's kit actually have one side of the ship open, showing the framing and life aboard. This is a more expensive kit, and far more challenging, but it's fun and interesting to look at when it's done.

Other Bounty kits include ones from Constructo Jr. , Constructo , Mantua , Caldercraft , Billing Boats , and more!

HMS VICTORY - NELSON'S FLAGSHIP

What ship modeler doesn't dream of building a model of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar? ( wikipedia entry ) The Victory was a 100-gun first-rate ship of the line that is one of the most complicated ship model builds available. Kits of the Victory are available from many manufacturers, and some of them are simplified versions of the ship, so you to choose the complexity of your build. Any version will still be a serious challenge.

Caldercraft makes what is currently the largest and most detail wooden kit of HMS Victory on the market. This 1/72-scale plank-on-bulkhead wooden model ship kit is highly prized among model ship builders.

Mantua makes a few different HMS Victory kits including this smaller 1/200-scale kit that's small in size, but big on detail. This kit will provide to be a challenge that won't take up a lot of shelf space.

Corel's HMS Victory kit is a classic wooden model ship kit that has been one of the more popular kits of Nelson's famed ship of the line.

Many other kits are available including those from Billing Boats, Constructo, Mantua/Panart , Mantua , Mamoli , and even a paper model version from Shipyard .

PIRATE SHIPS and BUCCANEERS

Pirates are all the rage in popular culture these days, though the real ones were murderous cutthroats and seagoing robbers. Still, who wouldn't love to build a wooden ship model of a pirate ship under sail, flying the Jolly Roger? At Ages of Sail, we have more pirate ship model kits than you can shake a hook at. Check out these popular wooden model ship kits:

OcCre's Buccaneer kit is a designed for beginning ship modelers, but offers the look of the classic pirate ship. This ship model kit features a double-planked hull using a beautiful looking finish wood, and even includes a set of pre-sewn sails and, of course, a Jolly Roger flag.

Amati's First Step series Pirate Ship is ideal for the first time model builder, young or old. This easy to build series of wooden model ship kits feature a simple solid-hull designed for ease of construction.

Other pirate ship model kits include Amati's Adventure , Mini-Mamoli's Black Queen , Amati's Pirate Junk , OcCre's Corsair , Mantua's Black Falcon , Mamoli's Blackbeard Pirate Ship , and BlueJacket's Pirate Brig .

HMS ENDEAVOUR

The ships of the great explorers of the golden age of sail are a popular subject among those looking for a wooden ship model kit, and one of these is the ship of Captain Cook's famous voyages into the Pacific. 

OcCre's HMS Endeavour kit is one of the largest and most complete at 1/54-scale. This plank-on-bulkhead wooden model ship kit includes a good set of instructions that should make this challenging subject a bit easier. 

Caldercraft's wooden model ship kit is among the smallest of the available Endeavour kits, but it's scale accuracy is excellent, making it a popular kit.

Constructo's HMS Endeavour kit is designed to build into a classic and beautiful wooden ship model that is bound to make you proud when complete.

Other kits of the famous ship include ones from Billing Boats , Corel , Mantua , and paper model version from Shipyard .

POLAR EXPLORERS

Many expeditions have search the frigid waters of both the Arctic and the Arctic. The search for new territories and new trade routes have caused many to risk life and limb in their quests, and here are a few available to wooden model ship kit builders.

Astrolabe was a French warship which discovered many new territories for France in the 1800s, and Mantua makes a beautiful kit of this famous ship.

HMS Terror was one of two ships of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition sent into Arctic waters in search of the allusive Northwest Passage. OcCre's wooden ship kit is a faithful reproduction of this bomb vessel turned explorer.

Gjoa was the first ship to find and successfully navigate the Northwest Passage. Roal Amundsen's ship is well represented by this beatiful wooden ship model kit from Constructo of Spain.

Endurance was the Antarctic exploration ship of Sir Ernest Shacklton. OcCre's kit of this famed expedition ship is well detailed and has become quite a popular kit following the recent discovery of the sunken ship which was found amazingly intact.

Ships have played a crucial role in shaping the course of human history. From battleships to warships , these formidable vessels have navigated through treacherous seas, engaged in fierce battles, and transported goods and people across the globe. Throughout history, there have been numerous historic ships that have left their mark on the world and continue to fascinate us to this day.

One of the most famous historic ships is the HMS Victory , a British warship that played a pivotal role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson, the HMS Victory helped secure a decisive victory for the British Navy against the combined forces of France and Spain. The ship, with its distinctive three masts and over 100 cannons, has been preserved and is now a popular tourist attraction in Portsmouth, UK.

The USS Constitution , also known as ‘Old Ironsides,’ is another iconic historic ship. This wooden frigate was commissioned by the United States in 1797 and played a significant role in the War of 1812. Its impressive firepower and sturdy construction earned it the nickname ‘Old Ironsides’ after withstanding cannon fire from the British Navy. Today, the USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world and is docked in Boston Harbor as a museum ship.

The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 remains one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history. The luxury liner was deemed unsinkable and was equipped with the latest technology and amenities. However, it tragically collided with an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives. The sinking of the Titanic highlighted the need for stricter safety regulations and sparked advancements in ship design and safety measures.

The Mary Rose , a Tudor era warship, is a significant archaeological find that sheds light on the advanced shipbuilding techniques of the 16th century. The ship was the pride of the English Navy and played a crucial role in the battle against the French Navy in 1545. However, it sunk during the battle and was rediscovered in the 1970s off the coast of Portsmouth, UK. The preservation and excavation of the Mary Rose have provided valuable insights into Tudor maritime history.

From ancient wooden boats to modern steel behemoths, historic ships serve as a testament to the advancements in shipbuilding technology and the courage of sailors who sailed them into battles and uncharted waters. These ships not only represent significant moments in history, but they also hold a special place in our collective memory and continue to amaze us with their stories and legacies.

Restoration & Repair

If you have an antique model or pond boat, you may want to consider having it repaired or cleaned.  Over the years, I have gathered quite a collection of antique woods, bone (whale and hoofed beasts) and ivory that I use for this purpose.  A good example of the process is the 19 th  century bone, wood and ivory model of the New York packet ship, “Helena”.  The “before and after” can be pretty dramatic.

If you would like to have your model repaired, please contact me to discuss your project.

A large portion of the work I do is repairing and cleaning old or antique ship models.   It is an aspect of ship modeling that takes a special approach.  For each repair I perform, I create a document that outlines, in text and photos, my conclusions about the model and the reasons for making the repairs in the manner I did.

If you’d like to see what a typical repair/restoration document looks like, click here .  The document is a bit on the long side, but I think it will give you a good idea of what the repair process is like for a large project.
