Hello out there,
I'd like to share a few pic's of my latest project; the tug/launch "BALTO". I started with a wayward Caldercraft "IMARA" hull, and rudder. On the London Lighterage Tug website, I found the "JAYMAR"; length 43', and the IMARA hull is 43", perfect
. I removed all of the plate lines, as they were too small in 1/12th scale. Next, I removed the bulwarks, added the running gear, planked the deck, etc. The cabin is made of sheet styrene over a wood frame. Fittings came from the parts box. Power is a surplus Bosh 12V motor, 12V 7amp gell battery, Vantec esc, Spektrum radio, Harbor Models sound unit, and a surplus 12V water pump for the faux bilge. Wished I taken more pic's, but I never seemed to think I'd finish this one
. All comments are welcome.
Mark
