I agree Ballast, tough job, low pay, harsh conditions... but such a rush when you start hauling and see a full cod end or pot...

When I worked on the real boat of which my model is a replica! None of our crew were built like Canabus' !!! if they had have been we wouldn't have had to earn a living fishing !!!😤😤😤

Yep! hence the fast boat 😉

I used a breaking bad figure, £10 off eBay

Hi Guys
Our local Sunday market has wrestling figures at 6 and 3/4", but, they are solid plastic.
The legs, arms and wrist are all movable.
The weight is about 100 grams each.

Aye aye Cap'n !!!

Here is a Lobster Yacht. Not it does not need "pots" just some people, a few glasses of wine, cheese, and table to go with it.😎

Well I wish you well! I too am in 12th scale and the detail is what I enjoy.. I do hope you are filling the deck with pots.. that's a lot of cork wires to get!! 🍾🍾🍾

Slowly but surely Graham, I am getting there !!! it's the detail that takes the time and being 1/12 scale there is a lot of it !!! I was hoping for a spring launch but it looks like late summer now !!! :(

Happy to plug the idea ballast!
How's the model going? I'm nearing completion now...

I just purchased a Midwest Lobster Yacht which was built about 15years ago. The figures are for it. Looking for male and female passengers and family. I have the full sheet plan which says it is drawn on a 3/4"=1"scale.

My forth coming winter project, is to scratch build a second one of these beautiful boats using the model as a guide and template along with the plans.

Dollar store, or toy store.

Thanks for the plug Graham !!!😊

Hi!
I've borrowed with pride an idea from ballast who is doing a blog on his 12th scale Cygnus.
I have recently purchased two action figures from eBay and with a bit of paint and some yellow marigold gloves will be making them some oilskins.
Not sure what boat you want them for but action figures can be painted to suit. Total cost for my figures was just over £2 (marigolds acquired from the sink....)
