I agree Barry, same could be written by me... one of the many reasons why we design and build cardmodels from this period?

With lovely greetings

It is a magnificent tug of the classic period of ships and shipping, Wilfried and Avery!

I tend to agree with Barry on most things, including this, but since I have been watching the shipping that goes past Cape May in person and via shiptracker (Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions), I have come to see some character even in modern ships (maybe excluding the shoe-boxy car and truck carriers).

Nonetheless, like Golden Age aircraft, steam locomotives and pre-1930s automobiles, ships of the era of this tug are particularly attractive to my eye. And this tug is a particularly charming little gem.

Don

A resounding and emphatic "YES"!

Not sure how much more you have to go, but she definitely has a wonderful character that tug boat lovers will appreciate.
Will the final model offering include a template for the railings and/or after ladders which Wilfriend used on his build?

Avery, you and Wilfried should be very pround of this project and it's beautiful result! Thank you for sharing your work with all of us, I thorough enjoyed this build!

Cheers!
Jim

Hello gentlemen,

thank you, that this little tug comes out nicely; details about the final model should be answered by the designer!
I did only a few suggestions; while the masts are drying I did a little joke with the vessel and my little harbourside ...

With lovely greetings
the Wilfried
