This isn’t a mass-produced afterthought—it’s a functional, sand-cast piece of New Zealand-made theatre. Handcrafted from aluminium and brass using traditional methods, it’s designed to stand tall while the elements do their worst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in a resilient powder-coated black, the Marlin offers a striking silhouette against any sky. We’ve ensured the movement is famously smooth, utilizing a ball-bearing system that reduces wear and keeps the rotation satisfyingly precise. Whether you're tracking a southerly or simply admiring the craftsmanship, it’s a feature that demands attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward (we’ve even welded a plate to the base for you), but we do suggest a spirit level and a little grease for the axle.
