Historic Ship Models by Jarod Matwiy

Ship model builder's workshop.

About us:

Well, there is only me so it isn't really about "us"... I am one person with a passion for designing and building, basically anything. Some people read, some watch TV, I build stuff. The more complicated the subject is the better I like it and ship models in all their intricacy fill that niche perfectly.

I have been building these models semi-professionally in my home workshop for about 20 years, and in 2019 I am working on commission #44. At last count these have gone to 28 different clients, with many, many repeat customers. I have built for museums, collectors, politicians, interior designers, and even the crown-prince of Saudi Arabia!

At my "day-job" I do R&D of medical devices and my background is in Electronics and Mechanical engineering. I can use any technique to construct your project, from old-school exotic woods and linen rigging to modern laser-cutting, chemical milling and 3-D printed parts. I can also include animated and articulated elements such as moving radars or propellers to bring your display to life!

I can build a model of anything you like, be it giant-scale or ultra-miniature. Send me a description of what you would like built and some photos or drawings if you have them, and I will find a way to help you.

The ship models are more photogenic than I am so this is the best you're going to get!

Ship model and diorama depicting the historic meeting of Saudi King Aziz and Franklin Roosevelt

This display depicts the 1945 meeting between King Aziz of Saudi Arabia and FDR. I made 6 of these that a businessman gave to clients. (but then he kept one for himself ;-)
