About this toy
I sketched this after watching the tugs shove a container ship around the harbour — they're tiny next to the thing they're pushing, and I liked that. The hull prints hollow so it stays light, and the wheelhouse is a separate press-fit piece you can pop off and put back on. It's the cheapest toy I make because it's also the quickest one to print.
What's in the box
- One 3D-printed toy, hand-finished and checked by me
- A card with the original pencil sketch it came from
- Recycled paper wrapping — no plastic in the packaging

Looking after it
- Wipe it with a damp cloth. No dishwasher, please.
- Keep it out of hot cars and off sunny windowsills — PLA goes soft in real heat.
- It's a toy, not a chew toy: not for children under 3, and not for pets.
- If something snaps, email me a photo. I printed it, so I can print you another one.
