Recent Museum Placements

We are honored to have several of our models recenlty placed in exhibits at several museums across the country, including a 48-inch USS Tang submarine model on display at the new World War 2 museum in New Orleans, LA; a 36-inch tug boat model as part of a maritime transportation exhibit at the Savannah Convention Center; and a five model commission placed in a new Amphibious Warfare exhibit at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. When we say "museum quality" models - we mean it!

Customer Spotlight - Silver Gate Yacht Club
 

For over 60 years the Silver Gate Yacht Club, located on Shelter Island in San Diego,  has built a proud history of bringing boaters together for friendship, camaraderie and to continue its long tradition of giving back to the community. Silver Gate Yacht Club members represent a rich cross-section of sailors, power boaters, fisherman, racers and all who love being on the water and building friendships and socializing with others who do.

  

Each year, Silver Gate YC presents the outgoing Commodore with a half hull model of his/her vessel. It has been a privilege for SD Model Makers to work with Silver Gate YC to be the "go-to" model maker for each of their Commodore gift half hull models.
