Model Shipways has served the wooden ship modeling community since 1946, establishing itself as the premier American source for quality materials and authentic period ship model kits. Their accessories line reflects decades of experience understanding what ship modelers need, from the precise dimensions of wood strips that match historical planking patterns to the specialized fittings that replicate period hardware. Every product is selected and manufactured to support traditional plank-on-frame construction techniques, ensuring that modelers can build accurate replicas of historic vessels using methods and materials that honor maritime heritage and craftsmanship traditions.
The comprehensive wood strip selection addresses every structural and decorative need in wooden ship construction. American walnut provides rich, dark tones perfect for wales, rails, and decorative trim, with its fine grain and excellent workability making it ideal for steam-bending curved components. The extensive size range from ultra-thin 0.6mm strips for delicate deck furniture through substantial 5mm sections for structural framing ensures appropriate scale for models from small schooners through massive ships of the line. Basswood strips offer the light color and soft texture preferred for hull planking, deck planking, and internal framing, with their straight grain and minimal tendency to split making them forgiving for beginners while still delivering professional results. Cherry strips add warm reddish tones for decorative elements, cabin trim, and accent work that replicates exotic hardwoods used in period ship construction.
Brass fittings provide the essential hardware for authentic rigging systems, with jackstay eyebolts serving as attachment points for standing rigging, running rigging, and deck equipment. The availability in both individual 60-piece packages and bulk quantities of 150-500 pieces accommodates projects from small coastal vessels through complex full-rigged ships requiring hundreds of attachment points. Nylon rigging cord delivers the strength, flexibility, and scale appearance needed for authentic rigging, with black cord representing tarred hemp standing rigging, white cord for untreated running rigging, and beige for natural hemp. The eight available diameters from hair-thin 0.008 inches through substantial 0.08 inches cover everything from delicate flag halyards through heavy anchor cables. Wooden gratings replicate the ventilation covers and deck hatches essential to period ships, available as pre-cut sections for quick installation or individual strips for custom sizing. The Ratliner tools revolutionize the challenging task of building shrouds with evenly-spaced ratlines, providing jigs that ensure consistent spacing and proper tension for professional-looking results.
