Yacht Modeling as an 'art form' has been done for centuries. There is a great amount of interest in modeling today both as a hobby and profession. There is great interest in modeling in many differing fields and at all levels of detail. Whatever level of quality is being produced, modeling provides most people a break from the stresses of everyday life, a trend which I believe is increasing due to changes in the workplace and our society today. We are very fortunate to be able to make this avocation our vocation and we welcome your visit to our shop.

Professional modeling is a unique niche which requires years of experience and a vast variety of acquired skills to produce acceptable quality models. At Robert H. Eddy & Associates, this type of workmanship is being produced by Rob Eddy.

Due to the intense level of detail and the vast number of hours required to complete a model, a division of labor has been uniquely structured so Rob can excel in his area of expertise with greater focus. At times he has been joined by other craftsmen, jewelers and apprentices. Presently, all model-building work is done primarily by Rob.
