Model Boats and Ships

Learn how to build model boats and ships from plans or kits - static or radio controlled - sailing or electric power..

• Are you intrigued by building model boats, but don't know how to get started?
• Are model ship plans nothing but a bunch of lines to you?
• Perhaps you are looking for plans for your next project?
• Or maybe you're looking for a new hobby to help you wind down after a busy day?

If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.

This website is where I share tips and tricks I’ve picked up in this hobby for the last 25 or so years. It’s not rocket science, but sometimes the wheel gets reinvented one too many times in this hobby.

I do admire those that can spend several years, adding detail after detail on a single model. I truly envy the patience they possess and, more importantly: the time they have available!

Most of the techniques I use are time-saving ways to fast-forward through mundane and time consuming tasks. Because, let's face it - there are only so many hours in a day...

Little by little I'm building up a small catalog of plans for download. First out is the civil war era USS Monitor and her nemesis - the CSS Virginia . As time permits, I'll add more plans.

Current projects include a balsa PT 109 and a number of other model ship plans. Waiting in the wings are ironclads, pirate ships, torpedo boats, battleships, tugs, destroyers, a New York pilot schooner and many other.

OK, enough talk, let's build something. And don't forget to have fun doing it!

Introduction

You can build a model sailboat out of wood, and it’s really easy. This blog will show you how to build a basic wooden sailboat model that’s good for beginners and more experienced modelers alike.

How to build a Sailboat: Part 1

Building a sailboat has been my dream since I was a kid. I have always wanted to build one from scratch, but never had the time or money to do so. Now that I am retired and have more time on my hands, I have decided to start building this beautiful wooden sailboat model from plans that I bought online. Here’s how you can build your own wooden sailboat:

How to build a Sailboat: Part 2

Before you can begin building a sailboat, you need to build a keel. The keel is the main part of your boat and without it, your boat would have no stability. This is what keeps the boat from tipping over when sailing in rough seas.

Next, you need to make a hull for your sailboat model by using pine wood or balsa wood strips that are glued together with sticky glue (which is sold at most craft stores). After making sure that all of the pieces fit together properly, start applying paint or stain onto each plank so they look real!

Afterwards, make sure there are no gaps between each plank so that water cannot get inside while sailing out on open waters! You’ll also want as many planks as possible because this will improve your ship’s speed! In fact…

How to Build a Sailboat: Part 3

Now that you have a hull, it’s time to turn your attention to the deck. The deck is what rests on top of the hull and provides a platform for sailing. The size, shape and placement of this part are all up to you based on what kind of ship you want to build.

Once you’ve made your decision about how big or small your deck should be, take measurements from below so that it fits snugly in place over the hull. You may need some help from someone with better eyesight than yours if parts don’t line up quite right (as they often won’t!). Then cut out some wood planks with a saw and glue them together using wood glue or waterproof epoxy (like Gorilla Glue). Afterward make sure everything fits snugly by sanding down any rough edges before painting or staining them!

At this point everything looks great with just one problem—it needs something more than just wood planks sticking out everywhere! So let’s start adding railings next….

How to Build a Sailboat: Part 4

Being able to build a sailing ship from scratch is a skill that many people never get around to learning. It’s not just hard, it’s also expensive. Not everyone can afford to go out and buy a kit where all the pieces are put together for them, nor do they want to spend hours in the garage cutting wood with their tool of choice. Here at Sailboat Model Building we’re here to help!

In this article we’ll be showing you how you can build your own sailboat from scratch using nothing more than some basic tools, maybe a table saw if you’re lucky enough, and some time on your hands (but not too much!). We’ll also teach about why building your own models is an important step towards being able to build real life sailing ships in the future!

You can make your own sailboats from wood.

You can build your own sailboat from wood. To do so, you’ll need:

• Wood for the boat’s hull and deck (about ¾ inch thick).
• Plywood for the boat’s keel and mast (about ½ inch thick).
• Fiberglass cloth to make a fiberglass hull that is stiffer than wood. It should be cut into 2-inch wide strips with an overlapping seam in the middle of each strip. The seams should run lengthwise along the sides of the boat instead of parallel with them so that they won’t show when you’re done painting it. The cloth needs to be about 6 inches longer than each side of your boat; use Velcro or duct tape at either end so that you can overlap them without getting any glue on yourself while working on this project!
• Epoxy resin glue which comes in two parts – one part hardens quickly while another part hardens slowly over several hours or days depending on how thickly they’re applied together! This makes sure everything stays put even when exposed to strong winds out there sailing around on open water!

Building a real sailboat from wood is a rewarding project that can be done with minimal tools and space. It’s also something you can do with your children as long as they’re old enough to understand safety precautions for working with sharp objects like saws or knives. I hope this blog has given you some insight into how it’s done!

A remarkable build by a precision boat model artist! Every minor detail is brought to life with exact scale. In my opinion the best model builder/ craftsman in the world. Exceptionally done.. and certainly worth every bit of the wait. WOW.. incredible!!! Ken Ryan

I received the Pelig kit ordered. It arrived almost as quickly as an item shipped in the US. The packaging was excellent. I am very pleased with the service. The quality of the kit is excellent as well, and a great choice to have in your inventory.  Thank you! I have bookmarked your website. Chris Nelson

We have finally unpacked her and I have to say she is stunning!!! The pictures you sent didn't do her justice! Wow! We are all totally blown away. Thank you so so much! Rachel Kaziewicz

John does tremendous work and clearly has a passion for his work. I recently bought his Viking Longboat plans and his attention to detail is remarkable! The plans are easy to read, and each individual part has been thoughtfully designed to create a truly beautiful finished model that is true to time period and construction. I look forward to building more of his models in the future. Joe Livingston

The custom model of our Morgan 384 is absolutely breathtaking. Even though I saw the progress via the photos you sent me, the finished piece is truly unbelievable. My husband was very, very happily surprised! Stacey Phinney

"I had the pleasure of commissioning John to build a model of the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54DS, and I am delighted to share my experience. From start to finish, the process was extremely rewarding, marked by meticulous attention to detail, professionalism, and an exceptional level of craftsmanship. The delicate aesthetic touches beautifully highlight the emotional attachment we have to the original boat. Throughout this journey, John maintained excellent communication, keeping my wife, children, and me informed of the progress and being receptive to any queries we had. The model arrived in perfect condition, a testament to the thorough and well-thought-out packaging, clearly demonstrating years of experience. In the flesh, she is simply incredible. I absolutely recommend John to anyone looking for a high-quality, custom-built, nostalgia-filled model boat.' " Jonathan Kingeby

My Husband LOVED the boat and it was a great surprise! It worked out exactly how I planned and his reaction was as I'd hoped - a VERY unique gift! Everyone is impressed and it looks wonderful up on the mantel. Susan Fekete

For anyone even remotely thinking of having a replica ship built, you will find none better than John Andela at the Art of Age of Sail. You get honesty, integrity and confidence in investment. You get exceptional research into authenticity of every part of the vessel. Simply Fabulous! Harold Mills
