Hi Kim  Pehaps I will build one next year after I have finished the Waverley and the next one that is on the drawing board , its a 54" tug called the Kingston Lacy.

Geo.

Well the Waverley is finally back on the bench,and I have been playing with some more detail work,making two gangways and attempting to get the handrails looking O K. not quite sure  of them yet.   

Well I have done a bit more to her, and made a few more bits and pieces they are all just sitting there at the moment but she seems to be coming along well now, still not too happy with the handrails but we will have to see how they come out when they are all painted.
thats all for now   G :-\eo.

Well I think she looks very smart.   

Well done


Ken

Thanks Ken.  A bit more detailing done latest pictures

looking good!!

Great progress, Geo, and so quickly! I think you have got the funnels spot on size and rake. Did you find some tube the right size or make them from scratch? I did a small Waverley many years ago and it took me about three go's to get the funnels looking ok!
Keep the pics coming
cheers
Clark

Hello Clark   the funnels are black drain pipe 50mm Dia from B&Q.  Really lucky with the size it matches her new funnels just right, thanks for your feed back matey.

Thanks Kim    this one is completely different and out of my comfort zone as it is only 1/53rd scale and I have hands like Malt shovels.date=1322527527]


I'd love to see you do a paddle tug i could learn a lot i'm sure!

Regards,
Kim

Geo,
Given your efforts so far I would be very disappointed if you didn't do a Paddle Tug in the future!
Keep up the good work!

Kim

A couple more pictures of a bit more progress, Lifeboat davits made and undercoated,and  a few more bits stuck on.
and a couple of the internal workings.

Managed to get a little more done this week, she is starting to look a very pretty girl now.

oh very nice, are you going to put any crew on her?

Hi Pee Wee   No that is one thing that I really don't like to see on models just a personall thing I have seen so many boats spoiled by oversize annd silly looking figures, in fact it is a laughing point in our club , I often find little men hidden on my boats in all sorts of places  so sorry no little men for me.  Geo.

Very impressive, no such thing as too many Waverleys 

Well this is it for the build just a few twinkie bits to do and then wait for the ice to clear for sea trials Pictures to follow eventually I hope, thank you all for your comments and feedback it is always appreciated,   George.
