Will any of my drawings be given to a third party?

No. All work is performed in house and no third party will see or receive any of your drawings. If a drawing is sent out, it is only with your permission.

How much information do I need to provide to start a model?

The more information the better. As proven, the more information supplied to the builder the better the model will be. If a craftsman has to guess about something, odds are he will guess wrong.

Can I watch the model being built?

Yes, we invite your input. Make as many visits as you wish or request digital photos. Your Marine Architect is welcome. We also provide a web album set up about your project and updated on a regular basis at http://picasaweb.google.com/maritimemodels

Will I get what I expect?

Yes, we want you to know as much about your model before construction ends. A happy customer comes back.

I want to ship my model to trade shows. Will it hold up?

We take extra care in making trade show models more durable. Shake tests are performed before the model leaves our shop.

What if my model gets broken?

Our models have a lifetime warranty. The warranty doesn’t cover shipping to and from Maritime Models. Most minor damage due to trade shows is covered under the warranty.

How much will my model cost?

We will discuss the amount of detail needed on the model. Detail is the most expensive item, it requires labor. Skinner Models' prices are lower due to the lower overhead of the shop. The quality is high for any amount of detail.

Can I purchase a shipping crate?

Either a plywood crate or hand delivery within 200 miles of Fairhope, is included in your price. Custom made crates of plastic and aluminum can be made or ordered at a rate per size. Hand delivery to trade shows and special events are available.
