Iron Keel Studio began where a lot of projects begin: with one person, one workshop, and a subject they couldn't stop thinking about.
The project started as an attempt to build one accurate display-scale model of a Virginia-class submarine. It turned into something larger — a drive to get the details right, to engineer a way to build at real display scale, and to share that work with others who have a connection to these boats.
Iron Keel is built on a close personal tie to the silent service and a respect for the people who crew these submarines. The work tries to honor that.
Today, Iron Keel is developing a growing fleet of submarine kits — Virginia-class, Columbia-class, and custom commemorative variants — built around the Keel Core hybrid construction system. None of them are shipping yet. But they're getting closer.
Iron Keel kits aren't shipping yet. Drop your email and we'll let you know when they are.
