Man makes homemade models of warships, yachts...

Since childhood, Mr. De has been passionate about making ship and boat models. Therefore, he constantly researched and learned from books, movies and even real-life ships.

Mr. Nguyen Phuong De stands beside a meticulously detailed model of an aircraft carrier.

In 2018, he started making ship models. At first, they were small models made of foam; gradually, the products were polished and had higher precision. "I work in the sound and light rental business. Having the opportunity to travel here and there, seeing ship and boat models on display, my passion arose, so I learned to make them myself," Mr. De said.

The aircraft are located on the aircraft carrier.

To complete the product, he learned from acquaintances about the operating principles of the controller, receiver, wave receiving device, and speed control. Then, he researched on social networks, improved the hull material with composite glue to make the boat compact and easy to move. While working, researching, and finding suitable materials, by 2020, he had completed the first composite boat with a controller running on the water surface.

Mr. Đệ built the cruisers and tourist passenger ships.

Mr. Đệ meticulously crafted every detail to create a 1/100 scale model of the actual ship.

According to Mr. De, the raw materials used to make the ship are composite plastic and pima plastic. Thanks to that, the ship has a durability of over 7 years. The most difficult part of making a remote-controlled aircraft carrier model is that each step requires testing and selecting materials and components many times.

He displays dozens of model ships at his home.

To date, he has made more than 40 remote-controlled toy ships of various sizes and models, such as: aircraft carriers, Titanic, cruise ships, cargo ships, cruisers, remote-controlled patrol boats, yachts...

Each ship takes him 45 days or more to complete.

Mr. De makes ship models in many sizes, 1/100 scale compared to the real version. There are aircraft carriers he makes with a size of over 3 meters, which can move stably on the water surface.
