Dear Rehaz,  
 
We have received the 150 models scale 1:400 and we are very happy with the result. I am surprised with the amount of detail they could put into the model. 
 
Also the give away box meets our expectations.  
 
Thanks a lot.
 
Kind regards,   Richard L.Krabbendam Heavy Lift Specialist  Jumbo Offshore Vof, Buyer of the Fairplayer Custom Model (Netherlands July 2009)
 
Thanks for the Ship - we've just unpacked it and it looks great - congratulations to your team.
 
Lynn Thomson Project Manager MDM Props Limited ,Buyer HMS Victory Model Ship (UK May 09).
 
Rashid, 

Thanks for the opportunity to work with you and Premier Ship Models on Tidewater�s model projects! With one model project complete and another to be delivered in approximately 2 months, I can confidently say that Tidewater has been very satisfied with the Premier productsJ As with many projects, our timelines have been shortened yet Premier has maintained their quality throughout! I would say the largest challenges in the �Chief� project were the new customs agent who delayed the �Chief� model delivery and the carrier who appeared to have dropped a pallet of models causing damage to some of the models. 

 
 
Throughout the process though Premier has been responsive to Tidewater�s needs, engaged in continual communication throughout the model build process and quickly delivered replacements for damaged models! All in all, we were very satisfied! 
 
Our latest project with Premier is another tugboat model which is scheduled to be given as a gift to our employees (first model went to employees and customers).

Tidewater delayed the project for a number of months and once again Premier has come through with a timeline which meets our needs. I look forward to the delivery of the �Rebel� and hope our paths cross once again!   Please feel free to share this reference as needed�..thanks again for your efforts!    

 
Best Regards, Chris Kastella Manager Purchasing and Administration Tidewater 

Dear Rehaz / Rashid

Many thanks for this - we have received 3 models in the office this morning.

The models look great! so please pass on my thanks to everyone for all the efforts to get this right. Should we order more, would probably change a couple of things - but overall very good.

Kind Regards

Susie Walker, Buyer of BT Extreme 40 (UK Mar 08)


He loves it! Sorry I was on vacation and forwarded it to him so that he could respond. But he loves it! Continue on!
 
Thanks

This letter is to serve as notice of my Company's appreciation of the work carried out by Premier Ship Models Ltd regarding the design, construction and delivery of five model ships for a project Rich Creation International Ltd has to fit out the currently 'in-progress' installation of 'Hong Kong's first full Maritime Museum'.

We first commissioned Premier Ship Models in early 2004 for a very urgent delivery on custom making ship models of the Batavia and San Felipe Galleons. This then increased to additional orders for a further two model historical model ships of the Borobodur and Perahu vessels and lastly, late in 2004, a Singalese model sailing boat.

The entire project continued to undergo many design changes and even resulted in the change of size/scale of the model ship Batavia. All accommodated without problem by PSM. They worked very professionally and did significant research on the later commissioned model ships as our client had little information on these historical ships.

Constant delays and our clients change of mind on needs, finishing, ageing of the model ships etc added complexities to already difficult tasks, but in the end we received on time very excellent wooden ship models, highly detailed and fine finishing. The shipping and packing was excellent, and all fiveship models received after a near 3 week journey by sea were without damage.

We found Rashid and his staffs' service to be very helpful, timely and professional in every respect. We will and hope to use them again on other projects and further commissions for this Museum as it expands and creates new displays. The general quality, service and reliability has proved its worth in using them over less expensive options, but in saying that we still find them to be highly competitive and value for money. We would recommend them to any other prospective client for the provision of high quality maritime ship models.

Best Regards,Clive Miners, Director.

RICH CREATION INTERNATIONAL LTD, HONG KONG, July 2005

Re: Supply offive historical ship models for Hong Kong's Maritime Museum

Premier Ship Models won the contract to research and build to scale a collection of highly detailed world class transportation modelboats that would enhance the atmosphere and convey the storyline at the 'Madeira Story Centre' in Funchal Portugal.

The 'HMS Endeavour', in particular is an outstanding well crafted display historical wooden ship model, which is proving to be of great interest to the visitors to the Island.

Re: SevenShip Models, Aquila Airways, La Normandie, Caravel, Bremen Cog,HMS Endeavour, HMS Northumberland & Great Eastern.

When confronted with two projects for the BBC 'Ancestors' both requiring detailed model ships, and both with a tight budget and limited timescale, I was initially at a loss. Fortunately a quick search on the web introduced the BBC to Premier Ship Models.

Having met with Rashid to discuss my requirements, objectives and timescales, I was sincerely astonished with both his enthusiasm and the detailed quality of his company's ship models.

Despite an almost impossible schedule, his extraordinary team of craftsfolk managed to deliver '2 x 8 feet' ship models of the HMS Beagle and HMS Bellona -on time and more importantly on budget!!

I greatly look forward to working with the team of true professionals on another project very shortly.

Mike Tucker - Miniature Effects Supervisor

BBC, January 05

(HMS Beagle, HMS Bellona, Ship Models 8 feet long)

The ship models are exceptional, everyone just loves them, floating in the air. Merima (Finnish company) Marine Interior Solutions commissioned twenty ship models at 1.5 metres long each, to be hung from the ceiling of a new Cruise Liner 'Miracle' for the Caribbean Cruise Line company.

Rehaz,
 
The model was received within a few days of this e-mail.  You may use me as a customer reference if you want.
 
I am extremely pleased with the workmanship and quality of the model � the detail is incredible. I was extremely impressed with the attention to packing the model for delivery overseas so that it would arrive safely �which it did (except that the stack of three lifeboats had dislodged from the main deck � still in good shape though).
 
I would not hesitate is ordering additional models from Premier or recommending the company to others.  I asked specifically that teak wood be used as much as possible, and was pleased that the planking and deck were mostly made of teak. 
 
The model looks wonderful in my main living room.
