@ Peter. You are building a beautiful tug. I look forward to see more pictures of it.

First a bit of wood and paper work.


Sawing the brass plate comes next.

@ Bunkerbarge and Benjam: Thanks  :}.

I finished the steps to the wheelhouse.





The last two days I was bussy with the ships bell. The diameter is 13 mm.

There are a lot of skilled modellers on this forum & I never cease to be amazed by the models.However there are a few modellers who are in a completely different league to the rest & this is an example of that. I can not begin to imagine how you produce such amazing work, i wish i had 1% of your ability.

 A superb build thread, keep up the good work

I know absolutely nothing about steam engines but even I can see this is brilliant - not just to make it
but to design it as well I wish I had your design skills and just a bit of your ability.
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
