Hi Guy's ,and a 'Happy New Year' to every one, well I thought I would leave this one till last in case I get kicked off the site by all the diehard tuggies, for painting this Tug the colour's I did so (sorry) :embarrassed: .
I put a bit more timber in her for strength, just in case I get around to using her one day (may have to repaint first)

Float test day at the Sister's with the nephew I named the model after, this is what happens when you paint a tug the wrong colour ? no not really this is what happens when you have no Ballast at all in her, especially with the top wieght of the amount of heavy metal fittings  she is supplied with ,(he was only suppose to give it a little push not a shove )
last photo salvage operations under way with the guilty culperit standing by ?.......
Happy new Year Everyone........
