some shots of the 1:32 scale models i built for mates at work.
as i had to build 2 identical ones i decided to make a plug and mould and lay up 2 hulls in glass-fibre then fit out using all the usual materials.
the motors are 12v ones i got from a local firm called distel they are buhlar motors and are silent in operation, in retrospect i wish i had given them a 3:1 reduction as the prop (whim wham) is fairly heavy pitched. the batteries for them are the ballast so only the tiniest amount of lead was needed to trim the counter down.
i have 2 more lighterage tugs on the blocks of a different lighterage tug and will post some pictures as i am taking photos at each stage.
