Wooden model kit by Midwest of 1/12 scale Grand Banks Dory done in acrylics. Dories have been used in North America since the early 1700’s. Bank Dories are noted for their load carrying capabilities and have been used for both inshore and offshore fishing. This model represents the 12’ Dory, smallest length of the five standard classes.
Plastic and wooden models made by me with over 80+ builds posted here. Be sure to click on “Older Posts” near the bottom of each page. All armor/military models are 1/35 scale, F1 cars are 1/12, aircraft are 1/48, submarines are 1/350 and wooden models in various scales. After a 40+ year hiatus I am trying to hone my skill sets as best I can while having fun. It’s been a very steep learning curve after being “out of the water” for decades!

Skiff Utility Boat
This Midwest kit represents an 8’6” two man skiff. It is a 19th century Dory built design that is still in use today. The model is built out of wood and uses the same parts and construction methods as the full sized boat. The scale is 1/12 and was finished in acrylics.
