Title: Freelance tug Rosco
Post by: DanL on April 10, 2009, 03:44:09 pm

Building a freelance harbor tug, Rosco, 1/35th scale, 3ft long, based on pictures and features seen in posted pics, etc.  Posting the build info at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=964224, but thought I'd post here also to get feedback.  Don't know much about tugs, but looking for feedback on "plausibility" of the build and whethr it is fairly accurate prototype representation.  Trying for maybe a 1970's-1980's 100ft tug look.
Some pics attached.  Other info at the mentioned link.  Video clip of smoke unit at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1uHoKDvQxs
Thank you. 
DanL

BTW - any feedback on the smoker unit appreciated too.
