Tug for the Williamsport car float

Modeling
#1

Howdy folks. Trying to finish up some projects. Since Williamsport is getting rebuilt (its the last bit of deckwork made with recycled, and warping) wood, I figured Id also add some scenery. A few months ago I bought an incomplete tug kit on ebay for cheap. Spent a while getting the ribs right and sheeting it, and in the last few weeks built the deck and wheel house. She works out to about a 62 foot tug. NY harbor RR tugs were about 90. Here she is before I start adding details.

Not great, but a good tug-shaped object.

That looks great. Looking forward to seeing it in person!

I like it. It’s always a neat place where tracks collide with the water. You may find the size discrepancy an advantage when finding a place for it to fit. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)Can’t wait to see how this ship shapes up.

Great start Bob, I have modeled all kinds of boats-ships but never a tug. it just might inspire me. Keep the pics coming.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
