Join us and explore models through classes and seminars for adults and kids, from the novice through experienced modelers. Visit our annual showcase of beautiful models at our annual Ship Models Exhibit. Learn as we bring history alive through our three large-scale ship models on display year-round and through historical performances with the large models as the backdrop.
