2nd Training programme in shipmodelling. Construction of a Tagus River traditional boat. Enviada do Seixal. Municipality of Seixal, Portugal.
I believe that ship models must be both pieces of art and objects of knowledge. So, besides a very high level of accuracy in terms of craftsmanship, my models combine precise nautical archaeology information with high aesthetical value.
Short presentation
Besides being a professional ship model maker, I'm also a maritime historian and I'd be able to provide professional assistance on museum ship modelling consultancy, construction, conservation and teaching.
My Cv is at http://carlosmontalvao-
As a consultant, I'm a member of the Technical Commission of the Portuguese Navy Museum and an adviser of the Model Shipwrights Guild of Western New York, USA.
I have experience in defining ship modelling policies in terms of methodologies, techniques, quality, cost and acquisition criteriay for museums and governmental institutions around the world
As a ship model maker, I have several models on display in museums in Portugal and abroad.
I've recently finished three models, a Portuguese caravel from the XVI, a Portuguse nao from the XVi and a Chinese junk from the XV and I'm currently making a corvette from the XIX.
As a teacher, I have a book published, in Portuguese and French, by the Portuguese Commission of Military History, on ship modelling. I'm also frequently requested by national and international institutions to give training programmes and workshops. In 2013, I went to Brazil to give an upgrading training programme on ship modelling for the Museu Nacional do Mar (National Museum of the Sea) and between 2008
and 2012 I was commissioned by a Portuguese municipality ( Município do Seixal) to give classes and workshops on ship modelling.
