    Another of my lobster boats. Originally built for model lobster boat races in Bristol, Maine. Unfortunately no model races for a long time & none planned for the future.

    If anyone is interested I've designed lobster pots and cages in 3D for 3D printing. Available as stl files and can be printed at any scale.

    Barry,
    Thatโ€™s it exactly. Hardware cloth. Works well & looks the part.

    That is simply outstanding workmanship. It just looks right, not overdone in any way.
    Did you make the traps out of 1/4 inch hardware cloth?

    Very authentic model.
    All it needs are a few lobsters inside the traps.๐Ÿ˜†
    Is this a scratch built?

    I did build the traps. Pattern by a good friend, unfortunately deceased, from NY. In fact he gave me the hull after last model lb races in Maine. Unfortunately I think the lobsterman figure is no longer available. I received it with another hull from a friend in Ca.

    Beautiful boat!!
    I love the detail on the accessories. Did you build the lobster traps?
    Where did you find the fisherman figures?
