Dear modelers,

In line with our plans, we have also offer a range of blocks for standing and running rigging. And we also created a complete version of rigging with staysails. If you require blocks in a different scale, it is not a problem to adjust the offer by agreement. You can also check our whole offer of accessories for Le Superbe 1:150.

Dear modelers,

You who are familiar with our e-shop know that we offer a range of common blocks from walnut wood including sets of blocks for kits. However, besides the classic types of blocks we also offer other specific types that were used on different types of ships. We have now added two types of blocks to our range: big deadeyes and liftblocks.

Both types of blocks were used on older 17th century ship types like the Wasa or the Seven Provinces. While the big deadeyes were used to tension the main longitudinal stays. The liftblocks were used for hanging and guiding the liftrope on the main boom. We produces them in several different sizes and you can find them HERE. Check also the pictures:

Dear modelers,
we have another news for you. We have extended our range of blocks with new pendant blocks.
Pendant block is a common block used in the rigging of ships from antiquity or the medieval period. It was used on ships such as cogs, carracks, galleys, galleasses, and similar types. This type of block was used approximately until the end of the 17th century.

We sell these blocks in size 3-7 mm, which is the size of the inner sheave.

You can pre-order them now (they will be shortly in stock)

Hello fellow modelers,

Transform your Titanic 1:144 (Billing Boats) from standard plywood into a museum-quality model using our authentic pear wood decks.

We are proud to introduce our latest release, the result of several months of development: the veneer deck for the RMS Titanic in 1:144 scale. This high-quality pear wood deck, utilizing over 4 meters of material, features precise laser-etched planking and detailed margins for deck fixtures, delivering the authentic appearance of the original vessel.

Available Versions:

Static Version:
The aft deck section is manufactured as a single piece. This version is designed for traditional display models where interior access is not required.

RC Ready Version:
The aft deck section is structurally split to allow for easy removal. This provides convenient access to the propulsion system and electronics in radio-controlled models without compromising the external appearance.

Technical Specifications & Highlights:

High-Precision Detail:
The pear wood veneer features laser-etched planking patterns and detailed layouts for all deck-mounted equipment.

Premium Materials:
We use high-quality pear wood veneer reinforced with a specialized felt backing. Sanded to a thickness of just 0.3 mm, the material is exceptionally flexible and durable, ensuring it will not crack during handling or installation.

Precision Fit:

Individual deck sections and basic mounting holes are laser-cut to align perfectly with the original kit components.

Simple Application:
The veneer pieces are applied directly to the kit’s prepared plywood deck base using standard PVA wood glue.

Result:
The result is a technically faithful surface with an authentic structure that meets professional museum standards.
