My name is Steve Park and I made my first model ship in the early 1980s. It was a small kit of the Marco Polo and it still sits in my lounge at home.

I was then inspired to have a go at making my first scratch built model boat and whilst on holiday in Cornwall I came across some plans for a Cornish Lugger. This was a very pleasing model and gave me a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I had built it completely from scratch. I did build another a few years later but this time using a pre-formed hull, a picture of this particular model is in my gallery.

I went on to build a number of scratch built models and then discovered Jotika and the range of superb kits they produce. Jotika asked me if I would build a number of replacement Caldercraft models for their display and I am pleased to say that I am also now able to supply a range of Caldercraft kits for sale and various fittings, tools and accessories including stanchions, props, prop-shafts and couplings, please see the on-line shop section for full details.
