Just a quick note to let you know that the ship model of the Cutty Sark was received today. Very nice indeed. Thanks for your help and prompt attention. I look forward to receiving the Dutch Botter model ship in due course.

HMS Bellona model ship arrived unscathed apart from two loose cannon on deck which was quickly put right. She is now at her new permanent berth at High Prairie Farm overlooking the Missouri River. The quality of workmanship and customer service have been of the highest standard, my compliments.

My custom ship model of the Friesland arrived. It is gorgeous! Please pass my thanks to the folks who built it and finished it. I could not be happier with their work. Also, my thanks to Rehaz and Rehana who helped along the way. Fedex did a great job in getting here on time and in good shape).

I was very pleased to collect my custom ship model of the three masted barque Brier Holme the other day. The ship model is wonderful and is a very accurate copy of the original vessel. The detail is marvellous and all the workmanship is superb.
To make this custom ship model from photographs only, and no plans as such, is a great achievement. It really is beautiful and admired by my friends. You have created a ship model of this 1876 vessel which will be handed down through the generations.

Thanks for the information on the display case. The HMS Surprise model ship arrived in perfect condition, the day before my husband’s birthday. It is amazingly beautiful and detailed; he was speechless when he saw it. He spent about an hour exploring it that first day, using his reference texts on O’Brian’s novels to examine every detail. He was very moved by the gift and the skill and craftsmanship of your ship model builders. He’s an engineer, and was particularly impressed with the way you designed and packaged the crate the HMS Surprise arrived in. He’s planning on sending you and your employees his own message to express his admiration and thanks personally.
Thanks again for all your hard work, both in building this wonderful ship model and in getting it to us on time. Your work made my husband’s birthday magical for him and for our family.
Please thank Rashid for me as well.

Sainaz, Good evening I have just returned from leave and would like to thank you for the return of the models, they are exactly now as we had hoped for and will be displayed in our passenger areas. Whilst it took a long time , it was appreciated that you took every effort to get them correct . Please pass my thanks and appreciation to your model maker on behalf of DFDS and would be happy for you to use as a reference if needed.

Received my HMS Surprise yesterday (11 June 2004). Many thanks for this fine model ship and the good service. The ship model packing was excellent, do not know how you could have done any better.

This letter is to serve as notice of my Company’s appreciation of the work carried out by Premier Ship Models Ltd regarding the design, construction and delivery of five model ships for a project
Rich Creation International Ltd has to fit out the currently ‘in-progress’ installation of ‘Hong Kong’s first full Maritime Museum’. We first commissioned Premier Ship Models in early 2004 for a very urgent delivery on custom making ship models of the Batavia and San Felipe Galleons. This then increased to additional orders for a further two model historical model ships of the Borobodur and Perahu vessels and lastly, late in 2004, a Singalese model sailing boat.
The entire project continued to undergo many design changes and even resulted in the change of size/scale of the model ship Batavia. All accommodated without problem by PSM. They worked very professionally and did significant research on the later commissioned model ships as our client had little information on these historical ships.
Constant delays and our clients change of mind on needs, finishing, ageing of the model ships etc added complexities to already difficult tasks, but in the end we received on time very excellent wooden ship models, highly detailed and fine finishing. The shipping and packing was excellent, and all five ship models received after a near 3 week journey by sea were without damage.
We found Rashid and his staffs’ service to be very helpful, timely and professional in every respect. We will and hope to use them again on other projects and further commissions for this Museum as it expands and creates new displays. The general quality, service and reliability has proved its worth in using them over less expensive options, but in saying that we still find them to be highly competitive and value for money.
We would recommend them to any other prospective client for the provision of high quality maritime ship models.

Our ship model arrived last week while we were away. It arrived in excellent condition and looks very nice. As the third model ship in my small collection and first from England, I consider it very special.
Thanks for your help throughout the ordering process.

My father took delivery some time ago of a ship model for the Harvey from yourselves. I managed to see it for myself a short while ago. All I can say is the ship model is even better than what I had expected from the pictures on your site, she’s a masterpiece! The finesse of the detail and the grandeur your ship model projects are nothing short of jaw-dropping. I hope I’ve conveyed my thanks properly here.

Dear all at Premier Ship Models, The two ship models arrived safely in the new Danish Maritime Museum last week and yesterday they were both installed in their showcases in the exhibition area. It looks really nice. The exhibition opens this Saturday with a reception for 500 people, and H.M. The Queen of Denmark will be sitting right next to your ship models. Thank you so much for your work.

I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with my model boat of HMS Surprise.
I have owned the ship for some time now but the pleasure I get each time I walk past has not diminished at all. The model boat always draws very complimentary comments from friends and other visitors, both for the dramatic impact and standard of workmanship. I am sure that HMS Surprise will not be the only thing I buy from you. Keep up the good work!

Just a quick note to let you know that both Albatross and America docked safely at Longboat Key, and both look great. Thank you so much for your kind attention to all this. The model boats Albatross model boat is a lovely little ship, although she does look a little lost in our apartment. With the benefit of hindsight I probably should have got the full sized ship model of the USS Constitution, but I was a little apprehensive about the size. Anyway, I’ll save that for another day. Once again, many thanks. I am showing your brochure to all my friends.

Thanks for the model boat, our M.D was pleased. I have been approached by another member of staff who has shown an interest in the boat. I mentioned to him the model boat was with a special discount.

Thank you so very much for the amazing model! When I came round to the showroom a few weeks ago, I was astonished by the quality of the ship models on display and couldn’t help wondering and getting quite excited about the ship model I had ordered. I have to say I was stunned when I saw it, not only by the size but the quality! Thank you so much for not only providing a truly first class model ship, but also the very friendly and helpful service. I could not recommend you highly enough. I hope you have an excellent Boat Show, and look forward to seeing you on your return. I got her home safe and sound and she is now sitting on my table in the front room. I spent all the journey home just looking at it!!! Every time I pass by on the way to the Kitchen, I just stop and look (WOW!!).

I thought that your model ships and the excellent range were about the best commercial model ships that I have seen.

I thought that I would let you know that the HMS Victory model ship arrived safely the other day. Even after seeing the level of finish and attention to detail of your other ship models, when we met on your stand at the London Boat Show, I was still immensely impressed and pleased with the actual ship. Thank you for taking the time to add the additional paint to the hull. It was certainly worth waiting for and will now be a happy and permanent reminder of my childhood in Pompey. I hope PSM continues to succeed as it deserves (hopefully helped by our picture in Canal Boat Magazine this month!!) and I would be most grateful if you would send me a copy of your catalogue so that I can ‘spread the word’ to others who will no doubt be equally impressed when I put my HMS Victory ship model on display.

If you were at Cowes last week (the 150th anniversary of the America ‘s Cup), you would have been leaving there with no stock!
