PARTS.



Started with the hull and deck. The deck which had a few of ejector pin marks which all had to be removed.



Propeller and rudder.


Gunwale bands and cleats


Bulwarks which had a lot of ejector pin marks which all had to be removed.


Blanked off rear section and added three doors


Added white rod as decorative trim to hide molding defects.



Thank you for looking.
Pete.

Hi Peter,

Great start and more sophisticated process than my attempt at building the same a while back. You'll enjoy it as much as I did and what a weird scale it was. Here's a shot of my finished Tugboat...

Hi Pete
Having built this recently I will certainly follow your build. There will definitely be times when the bin will seem like the best place for it :smiling3: :smiling5:
