Product Description
This high quality, highly detailed, intermediate level, La Confiance French Shrimp Trawler Model is fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).
This La Confiance Shrimp Fishing Boat Model was specially designed & built by the plank on bulkhead method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and Western Red Cedar wood together on the hull). The work boat model is built exactly to scale and painted as most French Shrimp Boats were with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.
