Hi Larry
I'm following your build with great interest. You have made a super job of her
, so much so, that I am going to have a go at building her myself.
For your information there is an article in Marine Modelling International (May 1999) that I have in front of me which describes the build by Jim Pottinger. Although not a long article, there is enough to whet my appetite.
There would appear to be plans of this model in 1:24 scale (around £16 these days!!) and the write up describes quite a few interesting details of the Tug and her history.
As an ex Bristolian living not too far away, I was going to trip over to the Docks and take a few thousand pictures to aid my construction, but according to 'triumphjon', the buildings are closed to the public. ( Thank you for the info, you've saved me a few gallons of petrol
). I might consider sailing around the back to access a good view, as she reported to be afloat.
How are you getting on in the motor department ? I will have to consider this so please let us know what works best.
Catch you again
Ken
