This was an interesting project and probably the last boat I will build since the harbor is only 2' x 3', and it already has a railroad car float.

Fishing boat model
For a change of pace I built a fishing boat for my harbor. It will be docked next to my cannery. I started with a wood block hull from a crude boat model of unknown origin. The rest of it is scratch built. The cabin is built from sections of scribed wood. The mast is from a tapered dowel. The lifeboat is a commercial casting. The fishing net on the rear deck is some fine bundled up netting to which I added several small floats made from plastic dowel.
I added a figure leaning against the cabin. I also added two small boxes of fish - I used boxes so you can actually see the fish.
This was an interesting project and probably the last boat I will build since the harbor is only 2' x 3', and it already has a railroad car float.
