Greek tug Doxa

Just had my new build in the water for the first time. She is a representation of a British built Greek Tug. I used a Mobile Marine Lady Jan as the basis for it. She is powered by an MFA 800 motor at 12v with a Graupner radio and E-Bay Chinese ESC. Painted up to represent a tug used by the Chandris Shipping line based at Piraeus. She weighs in at 14.5Kgs. Not quite finished, I've got to get a move on for Shepton Mallet show next weekend......cheers......Tony

Great model. I thought the weathering is some of the best I have seen - You have to look twice to see it has been weathered
if you know what I mean.

That really is nice Tony. I especially like the riveting as I've tried this and it aint easy.
Hope to be down to Shepton show this weekend and will look you up.

Thanks for the nice comments guys, it is appreciated. See you at Shepton Kenny, we (Yeovil Model Warship Ass') are, I believe, opposite where we were last year, if you get my drift.

I normally don't like tugs as thats all I see on my local pond and most are naff
, and I'm more into warships.....but the weathering on this little beauty is great -had to look at the first photo twice to see if it was the real ship

Cheers cloggie for your nice comments. Finished her just before Shepton Mallet show and took her down to the club lake this afternoon and she had a play with Danny's (tolnedra) Atlantic tug. All I need now is a bit of smoke.......cheers.....Tony

A very beautiful model indeed, Tony.
As already the others commented, the weathering is done great, as well as the rivets on the hull.
If it was a different background on the photos it would have been taken for a real size tug.
