The Jager Hobby TG13A Crew Figure is a highly detailed, dynamically posed model crewman designed for modern working boats, tugboats, and harbor vessels. Perfect for scales from 1:10 to 1:87, TG13A brings action and movement to both radio-controlled (RC) models and static maritime displays.
This figure depicts a hardworking deckhand dressed in a rugged work shirt, trousers, and sturdy boots, complete with a safety hard hat. Captured mid-swing with a large sledgehammer raised overhead, TG13A shows raw strength and determination — ideal for scenes of ship maintenance, dockside repairs, or heavy work on deck.
Every fold of clothing and the energetic arc of his swing are sculpted with precision, adding tension and realism. Place him beside bollards, near anchor chains, or alongside other crew figures to create a vivid, working-boat atmosphere.
It's particularly well-suited for model tugboats, such as the Billings Boats Danish Tugboat M/S Ymer. Constructed in 1942 in Aalborg for Forenede Bugserselskab, the Ymer was a powerful tugboat operating in Danish waters. After capsizing in Copenhagen’s Frihavn in 1951, its four-man crew was miraculously rescued, and the tug was salvaged to continue its service before being sold to a Greek company in 1975.
For those modeling semi-scale tugboats like the Romarin Neptun, a 1:50 scale replica of a Hamburg harbor tug, this figure is an excellent addition. The real-life Neptun is widely used in harbors globally, making the TG13A Crew Figure perfect for depicting a tugboat at work in heavy-duty maritime conditions.
Crafted from durable, high-quality materials, the TG13A Crew Figure is built to withstand the demands of RC model use while preserving fine sculptural details for static displays. Whether positioned aboard a tugboat engaged in dockside work, preparing for maintenance, or adding life to an active harbor scene, this figure enhances the authenticity of your working boat model with its realistic movement and energy.
