say, and you sell them or just kolletsioniruete? and how many items in your collection?

We are building a model on order. Do it professionally - it is for us to work, not a hobby. Therefore, all seriously and thoroughly. So much for that, on whose behalf I place information. We are community of craftsmen who built this beauty. Michael Bezverhny (St. Petersburg), Alexei Baranov (Odessa), Alexander Gerashchenko (Odessa), Narim Maygeldinov (St. Petersburg), Dmitry Shevelev (Nizhny Novgorod), Vitaly Anahin (Kharkiv), Igor Kapinos (Poltava), Victor Ovcharov ( Sevastopol). Behind each of these artists is a long-term experience in creating high quality models. Their works are in private collections in Europe, America, Russia and Ukraine. For example work NARIM Maygeldinova was presented to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. A trifle, but nice. Experience allows us to take our order for almost any vehicle. We are primarily interested in orders for complex and unique crafts. Those who are not replicated in the mass production of handicraft models. Therefore, we are spearheading the search for potential customers who may want to create and finance as separate models, as well as collections of models. See list of models and their current location can be here http://www.shipmodels.com.ua/rus/index.htm

Over the past 20 years (since the collapse of the Soviet Union), the former Soviet Union have created a unique environment for the development Shipmodelling as an art form with a pronounced commercial character. The uniqueness of these terms is determined by the fact that nowhere else in the world (except France, but more on that later) master did not build a classic luxury ship models implying commercialization of their creations. Higher kulminatsonnoy point in its development, the classical art of making models of ships in Europe, reached in France and Belgium. However, the eminent masters usually live club life and do not sell their models, the building which sometimes takes more than a dozen years. The French and Belgians are involved in their closed tenders, generously delyats diferambami with each other, although usually not without exceptions. Two very famous Frenchman, Olivier White (www.arsenal-modelist.com) and Bernard Frelish, still trying to sell their models.
At the post-Soviet space situation with the art of creating elite models of ships, is quite different. Probably the liveliness and predpreimchivost Russian soul has played a role. Striving to achieve better results in the creation turned soem hobby into a professional zanyatast. which in turn affected the quality of models. In an extremely short period (which is 20 years old) model of "Soviet" masters have come to the leading place in the world craftsmanship and highest quality. It is appropriate to compare the "Soviet" masters and their Franco-Belgian colleagues. Not a secret that in former times, our masters have learned from the French. And let them rejoice at the French teacher, our masters have surpassed the French school at times), and many eminent French is recognized, though not willingly (this is understandable, not so that want to move to a place of honor).

You need to participate in exhibitions of art. Systematically. For example, in St. Petersburg Manege, in the annual, which usually open by Christmas. This free exhibition, which, in theory, are exhibited systematically working artists. Its going around in October. There are still paid - Festival galleries, etc. There is a "Dialogues" (in August), there should be setted with someone "foreign" to the dialogue a success. You will have success, there are too bored ...
I would like to add: while you can put up with some kind of artist who is also on the topic. This - in the "dialogue", as by the condition of rented cubicle, or two and all the participants throws ...

This exhibition, which comes with "everything", ie Those who follow events in the world of art. It is well-known exhibitions. There also come all the guests of the city, because it - the Central Exhibition Hall, and its location - on St. Isaac's Square. At the opening there are higher ranks of the city administration. Negotiating to two months before the exhibition. Then there you will be able to sell a catalog or postcard or photo with your work and earn more and this. Painters will buy, and they are not alone. Good luck!.

With regard to participation in exhibitions. Of course there are potentially everything and "potentially" may take positive as most topics and assess mastery. But we have emerged to date oschuschuenie that the search path for customers through this machine (exhibition) will not bring the desired effect. AlexB wrote a little bit of time resources needed to produce models of this class. Models of this class are under the order. They have their hosts even before the moment of readiness. We do not have models that are gathering dust on shelves, waiting for his master. Ability to set the model to the exhibition is in that short period of time when she was ready and had not yet taken his place at his master. In a separate agreement with a customer. If he has kindly agreed to provide a treasure for all to see. Collect stand such models at all unrealistic goal. Therefore, now is not the way we want to move.

We need customers. Customers who want to get the best of what can now be built as a model of the ship. Who understand why they need it and what they can do with social consciousness, shows his collection at the shows. We will move in this direction - to look for such people.

Wrong. You position yourself in such a way as a class art in a very public form. And the results can be unexpected. When you "stand" on the insert you need to squeeze out of it all. You call and invite those who do not can, perhaps, trouble ... etc.
