The range
illustrates more than a century of Scottish Fishing Boat development,
from 'Zulu' and 'Fifie' Sail Herring Drifters, in use as early
as 1880, to Orkney Creelers and Purse Seiners built during the
1980s. New
models are often added in response to specific requests.
Prices listed
include postage for mainland UK. Prices other than UK can be quoted
at cost.

Quality
and a high standard of finish are constant across the range. Hulls
are selected redwood pine, with wheel-houses and other parts made
of species of wood chosen for qualities of colour and texture. Non-toxic
enamels are used to achieve a high standard of finish. Brass or
chromed steel ring eyes fix spars to masts; brass or steel panel
pins secure small parts and galvanised screws attach wheel-houses.
These
models are not suitable as children's toys.
