Wooden ship kits
There can be as many models of wooden ships are there are ships at sea. For, it is rather simple to scale down a model of the original once you have figured out how you want to go about it. Ships at sea range from large war faring vessels to merchant vessels to cargo ships and luxury boats. So in reality and if you have the inclination to build model boats and ships then there is such a wide mind boggling number of ships out there that all you need to do is get down to choosing the one of your interest or the ship that would interest you the most. Ships have been sailing the seas since the ancient times. The people of the Mediterranean region used ships and boats for transport and fishing. Ships and boats were also used in Greece, Egypt and Phoenica. So in all these sea faring nations you will find models of these ships and boats. Building models of ships and boats is as old as the shipping industry itself. Since the people of these regions depended to a large extent on these boats and ships for their daily bread, they were all of high quality and also beautifully crafted with Wooden ship kits. But not only were they made of different materials they were also made in various sizes. The most commonly used material was wood. This is because wood is easy to mould and also to carve. The other materials used are bronze, lead and clay. But all this depended on how the model boat or ship was to be used. There were big ones that could have been used as burial votives and small ones that could be used as toys. Scaled to size they were exact replicas of the original. There can also be models of fishing vessels, warships, merchant ships, luxury ships, pirate ships, schooners and almost everything that can possibly sail the seas. So the sizes of model ships and boats that are possible are immense. All you need to know is how to handcraft these boats with wooden ship kits and also how to replicate the original and what scale you want to make it in. Some of the oldest models in Europe are those of galleys, galleons and carracks. There were models of Admiralty boats and these are in actuality models of proposed warships.
