HMS Vanguard was a battleship of the British Royal Navy. She was commissioned in 1946 and is therefore the last battleship ever built worldwide.
During her first “major” deployment in 1947, she played more of a representative role when she escorted the British royal couple to South Africa. In the first half of 1949, Vanguard was assigned to the British fleet in the Mediterranean, but by the end of the year she had already been transferred to Portland as a training ship.
From 1955, she was flagship of the reserve fleet and at the same time a NATO headquarters ship. She was decommissioned in the summer of 1960, and scrapping work began immediately afterwards.

The ship model shown is a scale replica of the HMS Vanguard.
This model was made 100% by hand and with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, among others, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model as the finished product.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and painted where intended. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorative details (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood, and the rigging of sturdy cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be tightened at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
