San Felipe L80, lowered sails
This is an exclusive edition of the San Felipe, where the model is uniquely identified by a laser cut hull serial number. The ornaments on her body made her more beautiful than any other ships at her time.
Thus, to recapture the beauty of this ship into the model, we have used the most exotic wood that are available, the highest quality brass fittings that we can cast and more than 200 hours to put together this magnificent model. Examples of wood use include rosewood, ebony and mahogany. These materials are transformed into art pieces by the skillful hand of the master craftsmen.
If you look closer, you can see an evenly smooth surface of wood on the hull. It was done more beautifully then most pieces of fine furniture. From the bow to the stern, you can see hundreds of shiny brass fittings and cannons. Wood pieces of different shades and colors are carefully selected and used to create an impressive look. The stern is the most decorated area with hundreds of small brass ornaments, brass railing, figurines and lanterns. You will more than likely be falling in love with the art work on the different decks of this model. All decks are done by putting together many rectangular small wooden pieces. There are round shape stairs connected the main deck and the forecastle deck. The main deck is also equipped with a couple of life boats, which even come with their own paddles. And then there are the skylight, ship bell, and ship wheel…etc.
The model comes with its original flag and rest on a steady wooden base with attached metal name plate. 100% assemble, ready for display.

Boats
- What are model boats?
Model boats are made from different types of wood. The boats are made like real boats - first, the ribs of the boat are assembled, then the wood is added to the outside. The masts of our model boats are made of fabric that the masts of real boats of the past were also made out of. Last, the decorations are added, such as the bronze cannons. It is possible to have a boat made completely as the client wishes. We sell the best-known Dutch and German historical boats as default. These boats are purchased from a boat supplier. We can supply display cases with the boats. The displays protect the boats and prevent dust from getting on them. A special category among the boats is the speedboats. These are made in the same way as the historical boats. Even the interior of the boat is made of real leather. These speedboats have the option of being made in life-size.
- Can model ships float?
Classic boats cannot float. This is because there is no load in the boats. Hence, they are too light to float on the water. The speed boats, on the other hand, can float and are suitable to present themselves that way.
- Can you control a model ship or boat?
Yes, the boats can be fitted with remote-controlled motors. However, this is at an additional cost. There is also an option for us to prepare the boats remote-controlled without motors. This is also with additional charges.
- How are SFD display boats transported?
They are packed in a crate with rubber bands. This way the boats are unable to move, preventing any damage done to the boats. We deliver our model boats to any country of your choice. Depending on the size of the boat, there may be some additional costs. If this is the case, we will always let you know in advance.
