About us
Our 25 person company consist of Artist from various branches of the creative world. The senior business partners consist of a Master Model Builder with more than 20 years of experience. Another partner is a Design Architect with a portfolio of accomplishments. Our family of Artisans has more than 100 years of combined experience.
Despite our humble beginnings, our team of artisans has only come together in the past 5 years. However, our Artisan has previously worked for other established companies before joining the Modelworks team. We can proudly say that we have indirectly built THOUSANDS of models for other companies around the world. Don’t be surprised if you discover that a model you purchased from another company was in fact fabricated by Modelworks!
Our factory is geographically located in Pampanga, Philippines near the former US Subic Naval Base and the former Clark Air Force Base. Our strategic location and history provide us with a pool of talent and expertise in Military Ships Models, Custom Aircraft Models and just about any handmade model on this planet from 12 inches to 21 feet in size.
The simplest analogy to describe Modelworks Direct is by associating our organization with the US Navy’s SEAL Team. We also operate in small teams that are highly trained and skilled. Like the Navy Seal Teams, our Artisans can rival any custom builder in the world while providing wholesale pricing that much corporate organization cannot financially afford. ModelWorks “mean and lean” organizational structure has virtually no “dead weight.” We don’t have overpaid secretaries or luxurious showrooms. What you do get is the highest quality model at the lowest feasible price. Experience the “Modelworks Difference” today.
The Real Deal
Here’s the fact! Many of the “Pilot-Owned Model Builders” do not have the competence to build even a single model using their hands. On the contrary, our company is a genuine Philippines model builder. Our prestigious clients include the following:
- Good Year
- Maersk Corporation
- Epic Fuels
Our YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/modelworks showcases our variety of products bannered by model airplanes. In fact, we can safely say that MODELWORKS Direct has a ‘mastery of fabrication’ that is second to none. Our products have been handmade right in our facility in the Philippines. We do not outsource from other countries, especially China. You can see a big difference!
