Practical Uses

For a garage diorama with a model car, the 1:18, 1:24 or 1:43 versions are suitable if the scene depicts harbor operations, a work vehicle or a coastal location.

On a model railway with a harbor area, 1:22.5 is suitable for garden railways and Gauge II, while 1:32 suits Gauge I. The seated figure can be placed on a suitable deck or quay edge, while the bucket and rope emphasize the working character of the scene.

For a fishing boat or harbor diorama, 1:35 and 1:48 are suitable. The three different poses can be used together as a working group or separately on a boat, quay and pier.

In an architectural or city model, 1:50 is especially suitable for fishing harbors, quay facilities and maritime commercial areas. For larger display pieces or showcase scenes, 1:18 and 1:20 are available.

The set is model-making accessory and not a toy. Before painting, the support structures must be removed and the figures finished if necessary.
