Welcome to my web site. I am a modeller without any commercial interest. Modelling is for my pleasure only. Ships attracted me because of my brothers influence who was a professional ship builder and worked on several yards in the northern part in Germany. Ocean going tugs attracted me very much and so I made "Zwarte Zee" (scale 1:90) and "Smit Rotterdam" (scale 1:75) from kits. This was the road I decided to go. The offshore oil industry came into the game because I could visit the ports of Esbjerg, Aberdeen, Stavanger etc. and saw amazing ships in bright colours. At least I had the chance to get drawings of "Edda Sun". This was the start of a long lasting time with the focus on OSVs. I still love this type of ships. My personal history with OSVs spans some fourty years. Please see what I achieved. When I started this web site I planned to present my own models only but in the meantime I was asked by some friends to show their models of OSVs also. Here is the result. I am really proud of this privilege. Hope you enjoy.
