Thank you Howard. I found if you google Tug boat winches it brings up hundreds of variations. I guess making it from the minds eye is much easier than from a tech drawing.
Anyhow that is my first so I'll regard it as my apprenticeship for the mega ones yet to create.
All the winches are electric and I started with motors from cornwall models but again suffering stock shortages
My friend Steve in Ireland has come to the rescue by 3D printing me some to scale and far more realistic
I've just remade and finally fitted the deck cabin rear wall. The original was not good enough but I could not be bothered tearing straight into doing another so some weeks have passed and I'm happy with it this time.
I wanted to make the ventilation grilles removable to make painting easier and that has now been done satisfactorily
So this wall now has a recess that the grille fits in with a single screw
