Tugboat for a diorama

Fan-bloody-tastic! Went to your site, beautiful pix, really wel done build.

The pix don't have any info with them, what's your secret to the awesome weathered and peeling paint on the deckhouse?

Well done!

Interesting! I never realised that Lindberg actually produced two different models of tugs. I recently bought the "Diesel Tug" also at a bargain price on eBay. I was surprised at how large the scale was compared to the Revell 1/100ish tug I built a few months ago (I'll try and post some photos of this soon). The box gives a scale of 1/82, but according to my calculations it's more like 1/55-1/60. What size/scale is the one you are currently building? I assume it's a smaller scale (is this one of the kits which was included in Lindberg's "Waterfront Four" box set?) Your tugboat model looks great BTW! The painting + weathering is very convincing.

Oh the Hercules!  I am glad it got a good home I remember seeing it on ebay now.

Don, Its a Lindberg kit. I bought it half started on ebay. I'm building another one thats the same kit. The third one will be a diesel tug, also by Lindberg.

 

Dave what kit did you use for this terrific looking model?

Wow that tugboat would steal some limelight out from the centerpiece. Terrific job!

Wow.  Great looking little tug!
