Published by J.F. Schreiber, the kit builds a 1:250 scale model diorama of a Harbour Town.

The Harbour Town is not based on a particular location, but comprises buildings and architectural styles from various parts of Germany. There are representatives of houses from  Bremen, Münster, Möckmühl, Schwäbisch Hall and Tübingen, to mention a few. While most of these locations are far from the sea, they do contain some very attractive buildings.

The Germany has two coastlines, one in the north-west on the North Sea and the other in the North on the Baltic. The Wadden Sea is the part of the North Sea which is bounded by the German, Danish and Dutch coasts and the Frisian Islands. Characterised by  tidal flats and wetlands, the Wadden Sea is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The low-lying coast is also the home to a number of small ports and the German part of the Sea was the setting for the 1903 Erskine Childers novel "The Riddle of the Sands" about the discovery of German preparations for the invasion of Britain. Sailing craft used here must be capable of navigating shallow waters.

The model shows the town straddling a river or inlet which includes an inner harbour basin. The model itself comprises a number of individual modules, e.g. buildings, ships. 

The artwork appears to have been derived from photographs of the actual buildings, thus providing a high degree of realism to the completed model.

The kit, which comprises 25 sheets of A4 card together with 1 A4 sheet of plain stiff card, builds a model which measures  47x24x12cm (c. 19x10x5 inches). Instructions are provided in German and English and there are 2 pages of diagrams showing the construction of the base. 

The modeller cuts out the pieces, scores, bends, folds and curves them into the right shape before gluing them together. The result is a proper 3-D scale model.
