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!
Modelos hechos a mano construidos desde cero
We are known for many positive things! One is that we build our products like model airplanes. Another is we build everything from scratch. MODELWORKS Direct is transparent to all its stakeholders about its business. We even make it a point to feature many of our models on YouTube and Facebook Page to highlight our expertise. We can always boast that our company exceeds the expectations of our clientele.
The truth is we only employ 25 artists. Our senior business partners consist of a Master Model Builder with over 20 years of experience. Another partner is a Design Architect with an exceptional portfolio of accomplishments. Likewise, our family of Artisans has more than 100 years of combined experience.
With MODELWORKS Direct, you don’t deal with middle-men and free-lancers.
