"I had the pleasure of commissioning John to build a model of the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54DS, and I am delighted to share my experience. From start to finish, the process was extremely rewarding, marked by meticulous attention to detail, professionalism, and an exceptional level of craftsmanship. The delicate aesthetic touches beautifully highlight the emotional attachment we have to the original boat.
Throughout this journey, John maintained excellent communication, keeping my wife, children, and me informed of the progress and being receptive to any queries we had.
The model arrived in perfect condition, a testament to the thorough and well-thought-out packaging, clearly demonstrating years of experience. In the flesh, she is simply incredible. I absolutely recommend John to anyone looking for a high-quality, custom-built, nostalgia-filled model boat.' "

My Husband LOVED the boat and it was a great surprise! It worked out exactly how I planned and his reaction was as I'd hoped - a VERY unique gift! Everyone is impressed and it looks wonderful up on the mantel.

For anyone even remotely thinking of having a replica ship built, you will find none better than John Andela at the Art of Age of Sail. You get honesty, integrity and confidence in investment. You get exceptional research into authenticity of every part of the vessel. Simply Fabulous!

A remarkable build by a precision boat model artist! Every minor detail is brought to life with exact scale. In my opinion the best model builder/ craftsman in the world. Exceptionally done.. and certainly worth every bit of the wait. WOW.. incredible!!!

I received the Pelig kit ordered. It arrived almost as quickly as an item shipped in the US. The packaging was excellent. I am very pleased with the service. The quality of the kit is excellent as well, and a great choice to have in your inventory.
Thank you! I have bookmarked your website.

John does tremendous work and clearly has a passion for his work. I recently bought his Viking Longboat plans and his attention to detail is remarkable! The plans are easy to read, and each individual part has been thoughtfully designed to create a truly beautiful finished model that is true to time period and construction. I look forward to building more of his models in the future.

The custom model of our Morgan 384 is absolutely breathtaking. Even though I saw the progress via the photos you sent me, the finished piece is truly unbelievable. My husband was very, very happily surprised!
