'Waverley Models' is a scale-model boat building business run by myself, Mike Mayhew, from Clevedon, near Bristol, UK.

The name 'Waverley Models' is taken from the name of the 13 foot long model of the Paddle-Steamer Waverley which I built and can be seen below.

I design, restore and sell fine model boats and also take commissions, such as Museum restoration work and make new models,such as the Charlotte (pictured) and the Lang Boomer of 1870 commissioned for the Shetland Isles Museum. 

I also make and sell such items as crew figures, cannon, boat equipment and other custom made details, mostly using resin-casting methods. If you require an unusual fitting I can probably create it for you.

My catalogue of hundreds of fittings and GRP hulls is available at £5-00, including postage, from

"Waverley Models", 20B Moor Lane, Clevedon, Somerset, BS21 6ES.

Alternatively you can view the range on this website by following the links above.
