bigcman Posted September 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2019 We have been getting models of the ships we go on over the yrs. We are going on Holland for the first time in a couple weeks and we’re wondering if they have models of the ship in the gift shop and how decent do they look? I know they aren’t anything great in quality normally, but they are a nice souvenir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted September 18, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I saw small ones, 12 " long, and thought they were quite expensive ($40) for the quality. I prefer the excellent colour photos of the ships available in the Photo Gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones they sell in the onboard shops look like this: If you really want to spend some serious $$$ to get an authentic scale model, go to this guy: https://cruiseshipmodelsyardscherbak.weebly.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcman Posted September 18, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks for the info. I usually have a tough time with the $30/$40 they cost on board, but it’s what the wife wants. I would really have a tough time paying a couple hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSR Posted September 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Copper, thanks for the reference for ship models, but everything I looked at in the Cruise Ship section said "sold out", so I am wondering what they would cost if available, such as the smallest ones.

The bigger ones (scale 1:900) run in the neighborhood of $300+ and they also appear on eBay at times. Unsure about the smaller ones You can email them with questions at sansim555@msn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrcruiser Posted September 19, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2019 We also collect ;but ,not scale ships . We collect Iron wood sea creatures & land animals which are both hand & machine carved . They really look great . You need to be at the flea markets in Mexico ports to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
