Scale Model Marine Buoy – LD-2 Style (Low Drag)

SparkFrame Studios

Description

This miniature buoy is based on the LD-2 low-drag buoy, a widely used real-world fender-style float ideal for professional crab fishing and commercial marine setups. Its sleek, tapered body is designed to reduce water resistance — and in model form, it's perfect for recreating working boats and gear.

Made from PLA plastic, this scale model version comes in two parts (main buoy + rope cap) for cleaner print quality and easier painting. Available in a range of popular model boat scales.

Real-World Reference:
The full-size LD-2 buoy is commonly used for:

Commercial crab and lobster fishing gear

Marking longline or pot lines

As a low-drag float behind main buoys (e.g., A-series)

Lightweight mooring applications

Fender use on small to mid-sized vessels
