SCALLOP BELLIES. The Manxie Range.

I am producing a new range, these are scallop bellies for scallop trawlers and are made from chemically blackened brass, in exactly the same way as the originals hence they are fully working units. I am intending to produce these in four different sizes and I hope to have them on the market by the end of September ready for te building season over the winter. Please note that we shall only be making the scallop bellies not the full scallop trawl.

Here we have steel strop making materials in a kit form, the kit consists of approx 1m of stranded stainless steel wire plus ten brass thimbles and a lot of black whipping cord for you to make your own strops if required.

LOBSTER POTS - TRADITIONAL AND MODERN TYPES. 

Here we have our own lobster pots, made to order and available in either traditional style, ie half round or modern type box type. These can be used at either 1/12 scale or at 1/24 scale. The reason for this is the sizes have been taken from real pots and relate to the smallest size standard at 1/12 scale and the largest size standard pots at 1/24 scale.

Traditional style pots avove with modern style pots below.

All pots are hand made and each one is very slightly different from the next,

this is done to replicate the used look with these pots. No two pots are ever the

the same in reality as they are all mostly hand made. The stiching is made to look

course in a contrasting thread, we often change colours again to make for more

realism with out items. Pencil is for scale purposes only.

These units are priced at only £2. 50 each. To order only.
