Admiralty Models
Admiralty Models is a partnership between Greg Herbert and David Antscherl. What started out as a chance meeting in an elevator at a Nautical Guild Conference has developed into a collaboration that has lasted for over a decade. In all this time a practicum was written for almost 100 participants, workshops have been held throughout the US and Canada, four books have been published and products for scratch model ship builders have been developed. We take great pride in our work, which is hopefully reflected in the quality of our products.

David Antscherl undertakes commission work for anything from a fully rigged, encased ship model to delicate carvings or smaller projects, such as a ship's boat. These are custom built to order by one of the world's premiere ship model builders. Built to the highest standards using materials and methods guaranteed to stand the test of time. Or perhaps you'd like a custom set of plans lofted from an Admiralty draught. Admiralty Models provides all these services. Some commissioned models in private collections are shown below.
