I found your website through an extensive search using Google; I looked an many other sites that also construct model ships, including the Amerigo Vespucci, but I felt the most comfortable with your quality and what you had to say about your product on the website.

I have never purchased a model ship before [this being my first] but it has always been a dream of mine since I was a boy. I wait with great anticipation to receive your work of art.

May I ask you one question before you begin construction? I see that you offer the same model, for the same price, in a “painted” series and I have opted for the partially painted series. In your professional opinion what do you think looks the best? Perhaps that is an unfair question to ask since I am sure that both are magnificent but I really grappled with this decision and if you leaned towards the painted model I would make that small change to my order.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Very truly yours,

The HMS Surprise model and cross-section model arrived last night and are absolutely beautiful! Perfect timing too with the holidays just around the corner. All the changes I requested are there and just as I pictured them. Having both the ship model and the cross section model was definitely a good choice and the cross-section looks fantastic. I have already spent several hours gazing at both models!

Thank you for all the work and making all the requested changes. This has been a very pleasant experience and I look forward to working with you again. Please convey my gratitude to all those involved with my models – I truly appreciate all the work and effort.

I am currently finishing the Alexander Kent series and about to re-read the Patrick O’Brian series. I am sure I’ll be spending a lot of time looking at the Surprise while reading about her!

Happy Holidays!

The model of Bellona arrived today wed 20th July at 11.45pm. It really is superb and so well packaged to protect it. I am so pleased and would recommend you to anyone for skill and first class service.
You have dealt with me so professionally I can only thank you again. I await the date to pick up the display case to finish this fine craft off. Looking forward to hearing from you.
If you want me to act as a referee it would be my pleasure.

When confronted with two projects for the BBC ‘Ancestors’ both requiring detailed model ships, and both with a tight budget and limited timescale, I was initially at a loss. Fortunately a quick search on the web introduced the BBC to Premier Ship Models.

Having met with Rashid to discuss my requirements, objectives and timescales, I was sincerely astonished with both his enthusiasm and the detailed quality of his company’s ship models. Despite an almost impossible schedule, his extraordinary team of craftsfolk managed to deliver ‘2 x 8 feet’ ship models of the HMS Beagle and HMS Bellona -on time and more importantly on budget!!

I greatly look forward to working with the team of true professionals on another project very shortly. Miniature Effects Supervisor BBC.

The ship models are exceptional, everyone just loves them, floating in the air. Merima (Finnish company)

Marine Interior Solutions commissioned twenty ship models at 1.5 mt long each, to be hung from the ceiling of a new Cruise Liner ‘Miracle’ for the Caribbean Cruise Line company. Merima Ltd

Dear Camille, Rashid and Thierry,

Yesterday I received the Endeavour model in good order.

Thank you for this superbly crafted model.

It would mean a lot to me if you could pass on my compliments to the craftsmen who made the model.

Thank you.

Dear Premier ship Models,

Today, I received the HMS Beagle. The ship was in excellent condition and met all my expectations. I was especially pleased with the fact that the life boats were painted white and not left natural. I believe this is more accurately represents the Beagle of the day.

I could not be happier. Thank you for the excellent quality and service.

I would like to thank you for the professional work and the quick delivery of the models. It arrived safely yesterday. I will certainly let everybody around me in France know of the good work you done.

Received the HMS Victory model ship today 21st June. Have checked the ship model over all ok. I am very pleased with my ship model and wish to thank you and staff for the prompt service you have given me.

I used google main search for [model boats].

June 2006

Am sorry i was just panicking about the gift not being here in time, but I can assure you my husband is very happy and says the gift was worth waiting for.

June 2006

The ship model (HMS Bounty)arrived on Tuesday this week. I’m most impressed by it. It’s beautiful. The workmanship is superb.

This is something I’ve waited a long time for (I originally started looking some 15 years ago when I first set up in business). I’ve absolutely no hesitation in recommending your company and its model ships (and have already done so)- service was excellent and the ship beyond praise. I wait with impatience the arrival of the second ship model (HMS Surprise)!

As to how I found Premier Ship Models – it was by searching in the main search of Google. It was last year and I can’t remember the key words I used though I think I had several goes. As I mentioned earlier this is something I’ve been looking for for a long time but it wasn’t until recently that I used the internet – should have thought of that earlier.

June 2006

Sorry I haven’t got back to you sooner. It’s been madly busy at work.

I’m delighted with the Santa Maria ship model – it looks really great.
Again many thanks for the splendid work on the Santa Maria.

May 2006

Received the model today- perfectly in tact. Very pleased with the quality.

Thanks for your help. 

May 2006

Just a quick email to let you know I have received the model today, thanks.

May I say the packaging is 1st class, strong and secure; the model arrived without any damage. The model look stunning and beautiful looks even better than the photos.

After seeing that, I will certainly buying another one in the near future, so I will be in contact with you soon.

The model is first rate and I will recommend to other model ship collectors.

Thanks again for all the help.

Best Regards

I hope I find you well !

I have just placed an order on your website for a model of HMS Bellona, this time for myself. Having seen the great job you did on HMS Surprise, and the special offers now available, I just could not resist. I’m quite convinced this could become addictive and I think you should issue a health warning on the website!

Can I ask that you supply the model with the all the square sails rolled up and only the fore and aft ones set (as on the model of HMS Surprise). This appeals to my sense of symmetry and I think looks aesthetically more pleasing.

Thank you

Alan

We are all very pleased with our finished model. You have been very nice and very easy to work with. The model was completed to our specifications in a wonderful, timely manner and is a gift we will be very proud to give. It is amazing that we have accomplished this feat across continents, using only e-mail and websites.

You have been very responsive and receptive to our needs and have been very accommodating. I would highly recommend you to others looking for similar models. And I thank you.

Sainaz, Thank you so much for being available at our evening – thanks also to Plamen and Sylvain. I hope the evening wasn’t too boring for you standing around, and I hope there are some bankers who took your cards for future business for you! As expected, the recipient was quite overwhelmed and I’m sorry I didn’t introduce you to him – it was my original intention, but it slipped my mind during the course of the evening’s events. Perhaps when it gets delivered to its final destination, he will be a little more relaxed. Once again, thank you and your team for outstanding work and service. It has been a real pleasure working with you all. Gents, She looks beautiful – astounding work all of you. We will be very proud to present it later this month as our Partner’s Retirement Gift. Once again, great job everyone – she has turned out just as I imagined / hoped she would! Thank you, Best Regards 

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.
