Stevns Arctic Build
« on: March 13, 2018, 01:11:06 pm »

Hi all i started this project last year, but was unable to get line drawings of the tug. I did manage to get a GA drawing from
Robert Allan. I had a hull that i cut up and tried to use sections along with quite a bit of guess work LOL, I am building her to a scale of 1/32 at least that bit will be right, she will be 41 inches long  and 14 inch beam. I was sent some photos of the Stevns Ocean a model built for Robert Allan, hopefully she might look like her when finished.
Here are photos of the plug so far.

Don't take the GA as gospel. I have a couple from RA of the same boat and they are slightly different. Enough that a model made from each would have a different hull. Might just be an error or may be so that no-one can use a GA to make an accurate boat. And, no I'm no a conspiracy theorist.


Will be following this thread  with interest, always pick up a few tips from your builds.

Steve looking at photos i have of the Stevns Arctic the GA drawings look the same vessel. I will also be making the Schottel drives for this vessel so its going to be quite a long build.

She,s looking good! I really like the look of the tug but at 41 inches just too big for me if a 33/35 inch version was available I would definitely be interested. The size and weight of my Maltby hull was why I decided to cut n shut it.
    Keep the pics coming.
         Cheers,Pete

Trying to get as much detail onto the plug, hopefully save having to alter the finished hull later  :-))

Hi Brian,

HI batfish, not a lot of progress done, the better half decided she needed a new kitchen fitted and unfortunately that is the main priority at the moment, just about finished so back to the plug (unless she has something planned that i don't know about LOL)

Finally got back onto the Stevns Artic plug a lot of rubbing down, first coat of primer added today. A bit more rubbing down before she gets a few coats of paint then the fun will start, I have decided to have a go at making the mould. :-))

Really pleased with the way this plug is starting to look, spent most of the day rubbing down with 400 wet & dry.
