ABOUT US

From collector to retailer

Patrick's grandmother used to live in Kiel and so they always looked at the big Baltic ferries together. At some point, he was walking through Kiel with his mom and saw model ships in a store. He was totally enthusiastic, but unfortunately the first model had to wait a little because of its price. Who doesn't know it?

In 2012, the time had finally come and Patrick's passion began with the 1:1250 scale model of the Color Fantasy, a high quality model with good paint and fine details. The following models were not long in coming. Little by little the whole collection became bigger. Nowadays, Patrick's entire model collection includes over 500 model ships, which are kept in three showcases.

Patrick got to know more and more manufacturers, dealers and collectors over the years. This fascinated him and was great fun. In 2021, some colleagues from the industry approached Patrick and asked if he would like to become a dealer with all his knowledge and passion for the models.

Patrick was immediately on fire and Corinna was so surprised by all his joy that together they decided to start a store. The joint preparation time began and the store grew and grew. Finally, at the end of January 2022, it was ready and went online. Since then, we are happy every day to have gone this way and to stand up for our joy and our passion.In the course of 2022, we have become more and more aware that we want to represent our values in the online store. Because sustainability and quality are important to us. So our first own product contains original relining wood from the M/S Kalypso, which is upcycled in this way. We also have ideas to offer ships made of a more environmentally conscious material, but we are not there yet. However, if you want to stay up to date, feel free to follow us on Instagram.

MODELLPERLEN X SUSTAINABILITY

The development process

We love our products and we love our earth. It is therefore a matter of course for us to act sustainably and to become even more environmentally conscious little by little.

Since we started running the online shop, we have been using second-hand boxes and packaging material to send the great products to you. Of course, we also pay attention to quality so that transport is safe and problem-free. Since mid-2023, shipping has been climate-friendly with our shipping partner DHL GoGreen. Our products also have sustainable aspects, as we also offer second-hand ships. We saved the wooden railing of the ballpoint pens from being scrapped and turned them into beautiful pieces of jewelry.

But that is only the beginning. We still have some ideas in mind... =)
