Title: Emsgarth - Graupner Bugsier 3
Post by: Channel on August 29, 2011, 09:59:07 pm

After a couple of years out from building models I have started to get some more spare time and have decided to dust down a part built Bugsier 3 but build it as Emsgarth - or thereabouts! Working from pictures only it won't be perfect but will get me back into modelling and hopefully produce a decent enough representation of a tug I once worked on - one which happens to be the best looking single screw tug in my eyes!

She'll be single screw in a steerable koth and likely to get a bow thruster. Should look the part on the water!

Here's the real one . . . .

And my one so far . . . note too many windows cut - mainly due to an error on the Cory GA plan I started working from! Will correct shortly!

Having no drawings I wanted to get the funnel fairly close so made a card template. Its very much a suck it and see kind of build!

Looks good so far  :-))

The Bugsier 3 was allways a dream of me in my younger days. Ok, beside the young ladies  ;)
