A model of D&O Houseboat was displayed, this work of art developed by Studio Piet Boon showcases MMG growing capability to create models with illumination as well as intricate and detailed interior furniture.

A reproduction of a historic Feadship yacht was also brought to the fair to be admired. Requested by a private owner, the model was created using mainly photos provided by the client, now it represents a family’s heritage while featuring MMG meticulous accuracy in the production of exact replicas.

For the very first time, MMG presented Lily, a model made for 70% out of recycled materials, showing the Company approach on sustainability. The model designed by Vripack Design Studio for Oceanco is the perfect example of superb craftsmanship and low environmental impact.
