hi anybody know what the scale is of above boat.thanks

[malcolmfrary]

Going off the height of the figures and the length, it works out at a guess of 1:16.

[granwood]

hi thanks  the reason i wondered was because of figures as i thought they looked small against the wheelhouse.

[Philipsparker]

Don't measure them against the wheelhouse, measure against the door. Looking at the photo the wheelhouse floor is meant to be higher than deck level.

I think the boat is 1:15 or 1:16 thoough. It's an excellent sail too.

My Brittany trawler Jasmine Elizabeth (below) is 1/16 and 870mm long. So nearly half as long again as the Majestic, which doesn't seem right. What size are the figures? To be 1/16 they would need to be between 3.75"/95mm (5ft full size) and 4.5"/114mm (6ft full size).

thanks all for help .i sent e/mail to a couple  of model shops on mayhem and they say they think it is about 1.18,

I have to admit that I am quiet taken by these models of small inshore fishing vessels.

Models by design do some crackers. I was really impressed at a show last year and did feel a little nostalgic. Only 30 years ago we did have an inshore fleet. Mostly gone now. The quotas being sold on.

Hi Granwood I have a Thunder Tiger fishing boat Catherine great boat, like you i thought the figures looked to small. I brought my fishermen from George Turner Models they are super with great caracter but you do have to paint youself. Iam sure mine were 1/20 scale 92mm high and they look right, but he also does 1/16 scale 110mm high have alook at his webb site see what you think.   Good luck   Dave
