TG118 – Deck Hand with Ship’s Wheel Unpainted

Early 20th Century Clyde Puffer / Barge Crew Figure – Unpainted – Multi-Scale

TG118 captures a working deck hand in action, gripping a traditional wooden ship’s wheel. Designed to complement TG117 and the rest of the early 20th century crew set, this figure brings movement and authority to any steam-era working vessel.

Dressed in practical workwear with flat cap and heavy jacket, he stands braced as if steadying the helm in a cross tide or guiding a loaded puffer into a tight quay berth. His posture has purpose — one foot forward, shoulders engaged — suggesting a man accustomed to responsibility on deck.

Supplied Unpainted

This figure is supplied unpainted, allowing you to finish and weather him to suit your own vessel or diorama. Ideal for modellers who enjoy adding their own period colours, oilskin tones, and working wear effects.

Versatile Design

The supplied ship’s wheel can be carefully snipped away if required, allowing the figure to be:

• Positioned directly behind your model’s own wheel

• Converted into a deck hand bracing on railings

• Adapted to hold other equipment

• Used as a dockside worker steadying cargo gear

This makes TG118 particularly flexible for custom builds and working RC vessels.

Ideal For:

• Clyde Puffers

• Canal barges

• Humber keels

• Thames barges

• Early steam coasters

• Dockside and harbour scenes

• Steam railway quayside layouts

Like all Jager Hobby figures, TG118 is accurately scaled to real-world proportions rather than a fixed height, ensuring seamless integration with RC boats, dioramas, and static maritime displays.
