HiSModel - Historic Ship Models

[HiSModel]

Dear fellow modellers,
 

We are honoured to join this community and share our joy of creation with you.

First of all, let us introduce ourselves. We are a family company from the Czech Republic engaged in the production and sale of models and accessories, specialising in historical sailing ships.
 

Our main products are accessories for both plastic and wooden ship models. These include: laser-cut wooden decks for plastic models, brass cannons, CNC wooden blocks, photo-etched parts, cloth sails sewn on a CNC machine, double-sided printed cloth flags and much more.

 

We always try to achieve as much authenticity as possible in our products and base them on the most authentic documents, preferably original plans or specialist publications.
 

In addition to individual accessories, we also offer complete sets of accessories, e.g. blocks or photo-etched parts for specific models in a given scale. For blocks, we also provide customized plans for rigging. However, if you do not find a suitable sets or sails in a given scale, we also offer custom production.

Last year we also released our first complete 1:72 scale Statenjacht Utrecht plastic kit, which not only contains plastic parts but many parts such as blocks, sails, and fittings are made of more authentic materials.

In the future we plan to expand our range of products and kits and also create another kit. For example, we have recently expanded our range of wooden walnut blocks to include more types.

You can also take a look at some examples of our products.

PS: The last photo is a Soleil Royal 1:100 model built from a Heller kit by modeler from Vietnam, which we share with his permission and on which he used all our accessories. In the photo you can see mainly flags, sails, blocks, ropes and small part of wooden deck.

That walnut appears to be a finer grain than what we usually see in the US.  They look really good.  The darker color adds character.

 

I noticed that Chris at Vanguard Models recently said he would be using your blocks going forward.  They add a lot to his kits.

Those blocks in that first photo DO look very nice!  👍

 

Saving your website in my "Favorites" list for future reference!

Yes, since we use walnut instead of beech wood, the quality of the blocks has increased, they are smoother and stand out beautifully. Regarding the color, it must be said that there is a certain variability, some walnut blocks are even lighter depending on the log. This is a tribute to nature 🙂

You can see it on this picture. While the front triple block is dark, the other blocks have a more or less lighter shade, but this is nothing that detracts from the beauty of the model.

I have used their CNC Sails on my Revell USS Constitution. Great products. 
 

Their Rope is of Excellent Quality as well.

Welcome to the site.  Looking forward to the delivery for my CSS Alabama build.  You did a great job helping me out!

We are constantly expanding our range of accessories. We have now created more categories of accessories sets for model ships. In particular, we have added new sets for model rigging and sails.

Many of these sets were created based on your orders and suggestions. And more will be added.

 

Categories of complete accessory sets can be found HERE
Here as an example you can see part of rigging and sails accessories on Cutty Sark 1:75 for kit by Billing Boats.

Dear modelers,

we have another news for you. We have extended our range of blocks with new Pendant blocks.

Pendant block is a common block used in the rigging of ships from antiquity or the medieval period. It was used on ships such as cogs, carracks, galleys, galleasses, and similar types. This type of block was used approximately until the end of the 17th century.

 

We sell these blocks in size 3-7 mm, which is the size of the inner sheave.

You can pre-order them now (they will be shortly in stock)
