The TG9 Deck Hand Crew Figure is a thoughtfully crafted addition to classic fishing boat models, making it an ideal complement for vessels like the Danny Boy. This model takes inspiration from the 1917 Admiralty Standard Steam Drifter, designed by Alex Hall of Aberdeen. Built to fit the 1:24 scale of these classic boats, the figure adds authenticity and life to both static displays and radio-controlled (RC) models, particularly those that replicate post-WWI steam drifters, which played a crucial role in herring fishing along the East Coast of the UK.

The TG9 figure depicts a deckhand in simple, practical attire—a plain work shirt and trousers, without a hat—reflecting the traditional clothing worn by fishermen during the Steam Drifter era. The figure’s dynamic stance, captured while coiling rope showcases a shared task on deck as the drifter prepares for its next voyage. This straightforward yet expressive posture highlights the everyday labour of that time, encapsulating the essence of life aboard a fishing vessel.

The Danny Boy embodies the spirit of these drifters, which, though individually built, shared a standard design known for its versatility and durability. The TG9 Deck Hand Crew Figure enhances the realism of these historic boats, which were constructed from steel and primarily engaged in herring fishing after WWI. As the era of steam drifters came to a close in the 1960s, models like the Danny Boy helped to preserve the legacy of these remarkable vessels.

Crafted from high-quality materials, the TG9 Deck Hand Crew Figure is designed to withstand the rigours of model boating, ensuring durability and long-lasting appeal. Whether placed on the deck of a Danny Boy steam drifter or any post-WWI fishing vessel, this figure adds an essential layer of authenticity, capturing the hardworking spirit of the past.

The height stated is a scale measurement; for instance, a 6-ft man will correspond to a specific height in millimetres. Expect slight variations across different figures, and rest assured that this adds unique character to your model.
