Fifie fishing boat master

You asked for other stuff I'd done.....

Here is the narrow boat, Heather Bell, on which my wife and I lived for 5 years.

This is to 4mm scale, so is a mere 28 mm wide and 280mm long.

I should point out that the assymetry of the internal layout is carefully replicated.  No two wrought iron knees were opposite each other or of a similar spacing!  One team built one side of a wooden boat, another built the tother side!  In a week!  To the best of my knowledge this will be the only truly accurate model of a wooden narrow boat made, as it really should be as it was our home for 5 years!

 

Cheers,

Martin

OMG

I hope they don't build planes like this

 

Looking good, certainly a personal model

They were BIG boats, and carried huge sails. Two are restored in Scotland - Reaper FR.958 at the Fisheries Museum in Anstruther, http://www.scotfishmuseum.org/reaper  and the Swan LK.243  http://www.swantrust.com/

Worth checking out Swan at speed in a squall here (especially at ~1 min in! Pull back your volume a wee bit)

Fast viking ships! 

That's just grand.
