Post by: pugwash on August 19, 2010, 11:59:37 pm: I am not a tug building person but I think they are all works of art (or modellers skill)
and would be happy to own any of them. Being interested in military things my
personal favourite would be post 28/29 the admiralty tug Resolve

Post by: Martin13 on August 20, 2010, 12:12:11 am: I'm a fan of anything grey and the more guns fitted - the better.

I enjoy looking at the tugs as they come in all shapes, sizes and varying capabilities. I hope to build a Pusher Tug in the near future mainly as a rescue vehicle for my grey fleet.
Maybe later on I also will be the owner of a tug - anything is possible...

In the meantime lads do this Aussie a favour and keep posting your builds - I'm enjoying every one of them ok2 ok2
