My name is Olha and I turned my hobby into a profession. By profession I am a road and airfield engineer and worked in this field for 10 years. After immigrating to the USA, I decided to turn my beloved hobby, shipmodeling, into a business. The keel of my first ship model was laid down in 2010. I made a lot of mistakes on it due to inexperience and lack of reference literature, but it taught me a lot. This model showed me that this is what I want to do professionally. My models have won championships and numerous medals. I am experienced in researching and developing model-ship drawings.
SHIPMODELER
It was thanks to ship-modeling that I met my husband, Dr. Kroum Batchvarov, a well-known ship archaeologist. Now we collaborate in producing high-quality, historically accurate ship models.
