Christian Radich
We have 14 museums and foundations as customers in Norway and in Denmark, as well as individual customers such as banks, insurance companies, shipping companies and collectors.
Our business was launched in cooperation with the Director of the Foundation Statsraad Lehmkuhl. There were no models of «Statsraaden» on the market that were sufficiently good models of the ship and he wanted to take forward a correct replica of the ship meant for sale in his store in Bergen. We build models of the ship and compared against the actual ship. We had to build 4 models before the “ go ahead “ to build models for the sale was given.
We had now a working method that has been used to build models of the “Fullriggeren Sørlandet» and «Fullriggeren Christian Radich».
The foundation participated with critical comments and changes on every single prototype Modell which also resulted in the correct replica of the ships. Today we have models of all 3 school ships in 3 sizes, 50 cm, 90 cm and 135 cm in lenght, in order to fit into many different environments.

We have also worked closely with The Historical Museum / The Viking House on Bygdøy to bring up good models of «The Oseberg Ship.» We are now building these models in 3 different sizes, 25 cm, 50 cm and 90 cm in length , 25 and 50 cm in boxes designed for transportation and with instruction in 8 different languages. We manufacture construction kits of 25 and 50 cm in length.
The Danish Viking Ship , «Havhingsten/ The Sea Stallion From Glendalough» » has been built in collaboration with the Viking Museum in Roskilde. We also manufacture construction kits in the length of 60 cm that are for sale at the Museum.
We also build models of “Fram after Amundsen” on orders from collectors. We have built models of Barks from the period 1865-1885, primarily after ordering from shipping companies, maritime environments, collectors and families with roots in the old sailing history. We have also built models of steam ships from years 1880 to 1895.
A common feature for all of our models is that they are correct replica of the original ships and build in the best quality possible. They are built with guidance and in cooperation with museums and foundations, where they are also for sale. We have among others received good help of the historical Museum and the Norwegian Maritime Museum on Bygdoy.
