Dutch Hoy (6mm)
Dutch Hoy (6mm)
Need a small fisherman or coastal vessel for your game board? A hoy is a small gaff or sloop-rigged coasting ship used for fishing, or small cargo hauls. They are fairy small, usually of a burthen of about 60 tons (bm). They tended to be wide on the beam and shallow drafted, relying on the steerboard to stay on course under sail. This version is gaff rigged and has the distinctive Dutch steerboards. The word derives from the Middle Dutch word "hoey." While originating with the Dutch, the Hoy evolved over time, and was also used by the English in large numbers. This model is intended to represent a unarmed version of our Dutch Gunboat model.
This model is 3d printed in SLA resin and comes unpainted and unassembled.
This model features 3D printed parts: There are two types of 3D printed parts we use in our products. "FDM" is lower cost, and is what most would recognize as traditional 3D printing. This type of model printed in layers from thermal plastic (generally PLA or PETG), and is lightweight with reasonable detail but will have visible striation (or lines) that the hobbyist may want to clean up using putty, primer, or other hobby techniques. "SLA" is a laser cured photo-resin that has exceptional detail, and generally has a much smoother finish without significantly noticeable striation. This type of material is more expensive, and fine details can be more delicate.
Some models may use either or both types of parts, and some models may have the ability for the buyer to select the print type under print options. These models are intended to be painted and may come in different colors.
