Modelmakerij Otter en De Roos

Modelmakerij Otter en De Roos is a Dutch scale-model workshop based in Drachten, in the north of the Netherlands. It was founded in 1994 by Broer de Roos and Bart Otter, and since 1998 Bart Otter has been the owner of the business. The company specialises in building custom scale models, working from client-supplied plans, profiles, deck drawings or even photographs. Its tagline, "If you have the plans, we can build it small," captures the made-to-order nature of its work. The workshop's portfolio spans several categories. Yachting is a major part of its output, with numerous yacht models produced over the years. It has also delivered models of offshore vessels, cargo ships and architectural projects. In addition, the company produces design and prototype models, which are typically built without fine detailing because they are intended for design evaluation rather than display. A further service area is motion and light, in which models are fitted with moving parts and lighting effects. Although the company began by building scale models for local yards, within a few years its models were being shipped to clients around the globe. Today it serves a worldwide clientele from its base in Drachten. Quotes are provided free of obligation, usually within a few days of receiving a request, and the company asks clients to send a digital plan showing a profile and decks, or photographs if no drawings are available. Otter en de Roos remains a privately held Dutch company. Its contact address is Tussendiepen 15, 9206 AA Drachten, Netherlands, and it operates the website scalemodel.eu.
