Not a Glasgow Build

[Tug--Kenny]

This is the strip I used on Waverley. It's quite sticky and gives a good edge.  It's from the motor factors and meant for car bodies.

Hi Pd's

white line still do do however a small amount of progress.  the paddle boxes have been painted however one bled a little under the tape and will need touching in.




and a close up of the bridge area.  the roof is not fixed so that it can be fitted out.


Just the fittings, mast and railings to go.  if i say it quick enough then it appears that i am almost done.

Hi All,

I have a dilema, i have started on the railings, the rails and uprights are fixed to eachother though they can be removed complete from the deck.  i am trying to get the look of a converted tug to pleasue craft.  my problem is should the railings be white or black?

Hi Ian,
Enjoying seeing your build take shape, looking very nice!

If I was going for a pleasure craft look, I would paint the rails white or silver.

Hi All,

well she finally has a name, its the better half nick name from when she was at school,


though not finished by someway she is taking shape,  the rails are done though not trimmed off on the steps as i am looking at replacing the kit supplied one.


I also added a wooden floor to the bridge area


A few general shots

A lovely build PeeWee!

You might want to look at the Caldercraft modern fittings parts on Cornwall Model Boats site for a windlass or winch - Although I have used the ones you linked to. They turn out well - but tend to need just a little cleaning up on the castings (at least mine did) - but nice.

All the best

Cheers for the info Stuart,

She floats, though a little heavy.



now to finish off the detail.

Very nice. But no steam engine inside?

[PeeWee]

Hi,
I will have steam in one one day!!.

I have decided after somne thought to replace the motor, currently she is running a G5 form mobile marine. http://www.mobilemarinemodels.com/acatalog/Motors.html
although this can push her along at a reasonable walking pace there is nothing in reserve for any unforseen incidents.  So i will be taking out the Como from my envoy and instaling it in Cookie.

new trials next week.

Well after some thought the motor has now been replaced.
