This 1:56 scale Scottish fishing boat model is a representation of the hardy vessels found in Scottish waters, tailored for wargames enthusiasts seeking to add a touch of maritime authenticity to their setups. I've tried to capture the essence of these working boats, with close attention to details like the textured deck, the placement of the wheelhouse, and the inclusion of accessories like tyre fenders and a radar scanner for modern scenarios.
A simple waterline model of a small wooden hulled motor fishing vessel. Typical of types found around Scottish waters. Hull wheelhouse life ring 2 metal masts 4 tyre fenders and a radar scanner (for modern use).
Dimensions 179 mm L x 47 mm W x 50 mm H
The ‘IN ACTION’ images of this model are included here in order to give you some ideas for setting the scene on your own model railway or wargaming table. Many of the other items in the photographs are also produced by me and are available here from this site. The majority of the painting and detailing work was done using mainly acrylic paints due to their fast drying time. The process is to wash the resin model in warm soapy water to remove any traces of the silicone mould release agent. This will aid good paint adhesion. Next I recommend a primer, but I don’t bother unless the model will be subject to a lot of handling. After applying the main colours I then use a dark wash to increase the contrast and once dry a quick ‘dry brush’ with a lighter shade to pick up the raised details. Finally a spray or brush matt varnish for protection."- Stuart
