 crazydoyle11 ....tis always good to keep scale in perspective   ...the model vessel will always remain the same but your daughters will grow . [I have three daughters     ]............. .... - Derek

[crzydoyle11]

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

She looks a nice model, eh Dicky.    I was studying the brochure and though it would give me another challenge.

It does look nice Ken but its too heavy for my wife. I'm about to start on Deans HMS Javelin.

Hello Yorkshireman,

Nice tug and so far I can see you build well. Keep up the good work. One remark from me, I see that you have plastic thrusters. My advise, throw them away as far as you can and buy some decent ones out of brass. It does not only look better but the trust will be much better also.

[crzydoyle11]

thank you for your remarks. macrabbit I am  planning on getting some Brass thruster very soon right now. I do have a set on my other boat the Aziz I do like them very much..  again thank you..

installing the power switch for the Yorkshireman

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

Are you using the metal lid to 'bridge out' flexible terminals or is it a click switch ?

(I thought it was a conjurers trick presentation when I first saw your pictures.     )

Cheers

Hello Brian, like the picture gallery, am watching this build with interest.  As I don't know what a 'thruster' is,  would you mind pointing it out for me?

                Regards, Tony.

[crzydoyle11]

Thanks Tony on cking on how it is going with the build. I have to say I do not know at first what" a thruster was but I finger he was talking about the about the Propeller's because in one photo, that I had shown it to have the plastic propeller in the photo, when I saw that! than I know what he was talking about..He was just pointing out how much more thrust I will get with Brass Propeller's over Plastic one's. And I was just letting him know that was ordering some brass thrusters/ Propellers.. I hope I help here to clear the air. And again Tony Thanks man. And while I am talking about Brass here is my Anchor winch, That I had to make only because I drop the one that came in the kit, and of cruse it got damage a good bit so I made a new one, so here is some photo's on that.

[crzydoyle11]

Ok Tug---Kenny  yes all I am showing here is that I made a brass working door on the Yrokshireman Driving Container, That is where I am putting the on, off power switch in the Driving container..
