A Note from "The Skipper", Keith Mullen
(President, BaD Ship Models) -
It's
truly been a pleasure to serve all of you since taking the helm in 2009, and I look
forward to even more challenging builds and unique offerings going forward. The BaD Ship's Family has grown locally and Internationally with your
incredible support and input. This year, we took on the daunting task of
creating the first Plank-on-Frame Iowa
Class Battleship that we know of, and now, because of your help (and a lot
of Tylenol), she sits in a place of honor at The National Maritime Museum in
Norfolk, VA. I am so proud of our Team, and their dedication to the highest
quality standards around. Going forward, we will be accepting Commission
Orders for any of the proud warships in the BaD Fleet - all Museum
Quality models, and made to your specific requirements. Feel free to
contact me at any time to discuss
your dream build, and we can send it to you as a kit, or build it here to your
specifications - your choice. Thanks again - we look forward to our continued
relationship!

Serving experienced model builders since 1990, BaD Ship Models manufactures 1/96th scale wood plank-on-frame warship model kits for static or R/C (Remote Control).

In the past, you had a choice of either building completely from scratch, or purchasing a fiberglass hull and building the balance of your ship from scratch. At BaD, we produce kits which contain a majority of the items needed to finish your model.
Our manufacturing process has been completely restructured, using Auto CAD laser-precision cut parts featuring our new Snap-n-Glue keel and rib components.
Try us. You will find our models not only enjoyable to build, but also a great savings in the long run. Compare us with anyone else offering these types and sizes of ships. You will be delighted.

All of our Models, like the Warships they represent, are Made in America.
