This got us thinking about not only historical ship models, but also how ships have developed across the course of time. With a specific focus on military vessels, this week we take a snapshot look at some of the models in our collection that represent different eras of history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ancient Military Vessels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ancient Rome has always been an area of history that has peaked my interest. I spent parts of my childhood reading books about the rise of a republic and the fall of an empire. What fascinated me most was the story of how a city in Italy managed to control so much land and so many people, partly through its military might. That is why I was excited when we were able to start offering this model ship kit of a classic\u00a0Roman Bireme by Mantua Models. If I had any model making experience, I would consider building this one myself!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/premiershipmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2-14.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-195809\" src=\"https:\/\/premiershipmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"362\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Historic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Royal Navy vessels from the 17<sup>th<\/sup>-18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Century are generally some of our most popular ship models. This period of history has a big following, especially in the UK, where some ships have been preserved and immortalised, such as the HMS Victory. This popularity has been nurtured further through big screen movies like Master and Commander or Pirates of the Caribbean. The\u00a0HMS Northumberland\u00a0and\u00a0San Felipe\u00a0held over 150 guns between them and have made their mark on history through various conflicts between the British, Spanish and French.
