Most of my half hull models are large scale models. I have completed several projects per year building 12" to 18" Trophy-sized half hull models for Regattas.
I am happy to custom build any size, any type of sailboat model.
But I think the models sized between 22" and 26" are the perfect size for any wall in the house or office and those model's shipping fees will not be too expensive. (UPS or Fedex will add a large Dimensional Weight Charge for models over 30")
The price of the half hull model depends upon the MODEL SIZE and its' DETAILS. I have been building the half hull models with quality and value. Please feel free to let me know what you would like to see in your half hull model, I will do my best to work with you.
The pictures below are the some of the different size half hull models. I hope this will help you decide the size of your half hull model......
12" Model & 24" Model
The pictures below are of the 12" Trophy half hull Model ( Catalina 22) and 24" custom half hull model (Wavelength 24).
There are only 12" difference between the two half hull models below, but a few inches in model size makes a big difference.
12" model (Catalina 22) and 24" model (Wavelength 24)
12" Catalina 22 - Trophy half hull model...
24" Wavelength 24 - Custom half hull model...
Backboard Size
The half hull model of a boat with a narrow beam or with a low cabin top (or no cabin top) will look much smaller on the wall, but if we mount those models ( small, narrow & low cabin) to a larger backboard, the model does not look so small.
And the models are normally placed on eye level or higher on the wall. The oversized backboard does make the model look larger.
The picture belows are the 22"- 5.5 Meter model ( narrow boat ...) with the oversized backboard, the 20" - MC Scow model (low freeboard...) positioned on the top part of its oversized backboard and 24" - J /22 with a very Small backboard ( the model looks small...)
22" - 5.5 Meter with the Oversized backboard...
21" - MC Scow / model mounted on the top part of the Oversized backboard....
24"- J 22 with small backboard....
36" to 24" Models..
The Pictures below are of models sized between 36" and 23". The models between 23" and 25" in length will show well on the wall..
36" Model (Melges 32) and 24.5" Model ( J/22)
