Overseas Texas City 30 inches Tanker Model

Overseas Texas City Tanker – 30-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Own a handcrafted model inspired by the Overseas Texas City, a modern product tanker built to transport refined petroleum products with exceptional safety, efficiency, and reliability. As part of the respected Overseas Shipholding Group fleet, the Overseas Texas City represents the strength and innovation of today's commercial shipping industry. Designed with advanced engineering, fuel-efficient technology, and environmentally responsible systems, this impressive vessel plays a vital role in supporting the movement of energy products and sustaining global maritime commerce.

Our 30-inch handcrafted Overseas Texas City Tanker model faithfully captures the distinctive appearance of this remarkable vessel. Each model is individually built by experienced craftsmen using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method—the same principle used in real wooden shipbuilding. We select only premium hardwoods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany, ensuring exceptional durability, refined craftsmanship, and a timeless museum-quality finish.

Every element is carefully recreated, from the streamlined hull and expansive cargo deck to the bridge, navigation mast, cargo piping, deck machinery, lifeboats, railings, antennas, and other signature features that define the Overseas Texas City. Rather than being mass-produced, each model is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a striking display piece worthy of any commercial maritime or ship model collection.

The 30-inch model offers the perfect balance of craftsmanship, practicality, and value. Large enough to showcase the Overseas Texas City's intricate details yet compact enough to fit comfortably on bookshelves, office desks, display cabinets, or mantels, it is an ideal choice for both home and office display. Its convenient size also makes it more affordable than larger models, easier to ship worldwide, and a thoughtful gift for maritime professionals, shipping executives, collectors, or anyone who appreciates modern merchant vessels.

Each piece is individually handcrafted, and production typically takes 3–6 months, depending on the model's size and complexity. Throughout the process, we'll keep you updated with detailed progress photos at every major milestone, allowing you to review the craftsmanship and approve each stage before we move forward.

You'll receive photos during:

- Hull construction
- Deck detailing and superstructure assembly
- Final painting and finishing

Your satisfaction comes first. We proceed to the next stage only after you've reviewed the previous one.

Once you approve the completed model, it will be carefully packed in a custom-built wooden shipping crate with multiple layers of protective cushioning to ensure it arrives safely anywhere in the world.
