Hi all,
I am looking for a photograph or two! of the wheelhouse layout of the above, for my latest build. It is the later style wheelhouse of the Battler or Valiant B, boats built since 2004. I do have access to the following

Post ended, Norry sent me some real good pics of CMS Battler. Thanks Norry

Those are good looking tugs! Is there a site to find more photos or just hunt for them? I have a Wyeforce hull here, been thinking of altering the wheelhouse style.
Not enough hours in the day though!
Regards,

quite a few, the hull moulding is available from

Photos are available from the builders

different styles of wheelhouse, the original is the Coastal Force

Later style wheelhouse, the upper part of the wheelhouse is stepped in to give more clearance working alongside vessels with overhang

The vessel is a Damen Stantug 1906, clik recent deliveries on Damen website and dropdown list Stantug 1906.
I will post pictures of my build shortly, I have fitted shafts, motors kort nozzles, deck, and almost completed wheelhouse.
Norry Mason who posts topics on this site used a wyeforce hull to produce a vessel at 1/24 scale, mine is 1/32 scale. I can forward a GA plan for you if required

I am building a 1/32 version of Battler using thew MMM 1906 hull, I am having great difficulty in building the wheelhouse, have you a GA plan for the wheelhouse I could have a look at or do you know where I could get hold of one?
