A 1/1250 scale resin model of Prinz Eugen in drydock at Brest after her Atlantic sortie with Bismarck by Coastlines Models.

When Prinz Eugen arrived in Brest in 1941, both Scharnhorst & Gneisenau were under repair in the twin graving docks. Prinz Eugen was docked in the commercial dock at right angles to the others and covered in camouflage netting except at the stern where canvas sheets were used to conceal the ship, as modelled here. The key elements of this scene, the U-boat bunker, the twin graving docks and this dock in the commercial harbour are available from Antics.

A 400ft floating drydock in light grey with weathered finish.

A 1/1250 scale resin model of Drydock PD-50 sinking in 2018 by Coastlines Models CL-D06b.

At the end of October 2018, the Russian floating drydock PD-50 spang a leak with the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov inside it at the town of Roslyakovo near Murmansk. The dock settled on the bottom with a list to port and only the after starboard side left above water. The starboard 100ton crane landed on the carrier's flight deck and the dock damaged the carrier as it floated free.

A 1/1250 scale resin model of a German dry-dock and Type VII submarine by Coastlines Models CL-D09. This dock was designed to lift U-boats out of the water for maintenance in the wet bays of armoured bunkers on sites where there was no covered slipway. This dock is based on a drawing of the dock at Noorsee III bunker Heligoland but similar docks were used elsewhere. The Nordzee III bunker model in the photograph is available separately.

A 1/1250 scale waterline model of burning wreckage. The burning oil slick model was modelled on pictures of the M T Haven disaster but was not suitable for other incidents and this model was made to cover styles of fires at sea involving burning fuel oil rather than heavy crude oil.

This is a 1/1250 model of Fort Pulaski, a coastel fortress located on Cockspur Island, Savannah, Georgia, USA. Fort Pulaski was built following the American War of Independence to defend the approaches to the port of Savannah.

The model includes an extension panel to the north channel of the river which is not shown in the photograph.

These are painted and assembled 1/1250 scale resin models of Fort Hoo and Fort Darnet, a pair of C19th forts on sandbanks on opposite sides of the shipping channel on the river Medway. The forts were built in the late 1860s to protect the navy dockyard at Chatham from attack from the sea. Originally, the intention was to stretch a chain across the channel between the forts to hold attacking sailing ships in the killing zone between the two artillery forts but, by the time that they were completed, steam-powered ironclad ships would have snapped any chain that could have been placed across the river and no chain was supplied. Casemates were fitted all round the circular forts and both forts commanded  excellent fields of fire up and down stream and across the shipping channel.

Working out of Hull, Grimsby and Fleetwood, these sturdy ships were designed to fish the banks off Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland. Following the Cod Wars, these grounds were closed to UK vessels and they were replaced by smaller boats for use in the North Sea.

Marine Artist Model mastered this chunky modern vessel in the 1980s. Although the model is small (about 1cm long) most UK fishing boats are smaller than this these days.

New for 2011. An inter-island ferry, primarily for foot passengers.

This is a superdetailed model of the strongest island fortress in the Phippines, Fort Drum. Fitted with 4x14" guns in two superimposed turrets and 4x6" guns in double casemates, she looked like a battlehip guarding the approacxhes to Manilla Bay. The model represents the concrete fortress in its prime  between the expiry of the London Treaty and America's entry into WW2.

Built in the c18th this small fort has a round tower to house the guns to counter bombardment from the sea and a long "fin" to defend against an overland attack.
New for 2013! A re-mastered model with extended landscape area.

The model comprises the entire island of d'If and a small rocky outlier, together with its casle, lighthouse and other buildings. The island lies off Marseilles and its guns protected the approach to France's largest port.
