SD Model Makers Delivers 225 Warship Models for Canadian Gala Event

San Marcos California based SD Model Makers delivered 225 replica ship models of the Canadian Naval Frigate HMCS Toronto (FFH 333) for use by the Toronto based True Patriot Love foundation at their recent annual tribute dinner. The 1:440 scale, 12-inch length models with Acrylic cases, were the cornerstone auction items at the November 1st gala held by the foundation. The annual tribute dinner supports and honors members of the Canadian military and their families, wherever they may serve. The annual gala is the organization's flagship and largest charity event across the country, hosting senior-level business and political leadership. This year the event raised over $2.3 million for the fourth year in a row.

SD Model Makers owner, Captain Brad Poulos, states: “We specialize in making museum quality ship models for ship builders, boat yards and vessel owners. It was an honor to provide models for the True Patriot Love foundation event. When we learned the focus of this year’s tribute dinner was on the Canadian Navy, we realized a detailed replica model of a modern Canadian naval vessel was a perfect fit for an auction item.”
