Discover a gem of maritime modelling that lets you enjoy pleasant moments and travel back to the days when these impressive ships sailed the seas.
A traditional artisanal fishing method with a rich history throughout the Mediterranean, especially along the Catalan coast, carried out using boats equipped with lamps, known as “bots de llum” (light boats).
These approximately 5-meter-long boats were usually operated by two people and used for catching horse mackerel and, above all, sardines. However, thanks to the light emitted by large gas lamps, they also attracted other fish and crustaceans.
A distinctive feature of these boats was the two large stabilizers (also called “squaws”), which prevented them from rocking in the waves, as well as the replacement of the traditional tiller with two lines that allowed the rudder mounted on the lantern bracket to be maneuvered.
The model is a faithful replica of the original. Our model ship kits include all the essential components needed to build a ship model with meticulous attention to the finest details.
We hope you enjoy ship modeling as you build this lightship – a wonderful model vessel that will provide you with many hours of creative relaxation.
This is a great model to start your ship modelling journey.
