This finely sculpted 1:48 scale fisherman adds authenticity and character to classic side trawler models such as the Caldercraft Milford Star. Perfect for both radio-controlled (RC) and static display builds, this figure helps recreate the hardworking atmosphere of mid-century fishing fleets.
Depicting a mature, slightly weathered workman, he stands in a relaxed, believable pose — one hand resting on the rail, the other on his hip, legs casually crossed. His traditional work dungarees, sturdy boots, and cloth flat cap capture the rugged but easygoing spirit of trawlermen from the 1930s and 40s.
The figure is designed to complement the Milford Star, a classic side trawler converted from a WWII Round Table Class minesweeper and based on the 1936-built Star of Orkney. With its tough, time-worn profile, the Milford Star symbolizes the fishing vessels that powered Britain’s coastal industry in the early to mid-20th century.
Use this fisherman along the rail or near deck gear to bring a sense of lived-in history to your trawler scene.
Designed to complement the Milford Star, a classic side trawler of its era, this figure is ideal for recreating the look and feel of mid-century fishing vessels. Originally built as one of eight Round Table Class minesweepers in 1943, the design was later converted into a peacetime trawler, based on the hull lines of the 1936-built Star of Orkney. With its sturdy, time-worn appearance, the Milford Star represents the hardworking vessels that shaped the fishing industry of the time.
Perfect for historical fishing dioramas, dockside scenes, or as part of a working crew on deck, this relaxed yet experienced fisherman figure adds depth and realism to any 1:48 scale classic trawler model.
