Revell’s 1/108 scale harbor tug got a good going-over from Andrew: “The bow netting is detailed with layers of cheesecloth, then weathered with watercolor paints and pastels. For the lifeboat cover, I used a coffee filter. White thread was used for the rigging and lifeboat lanyards, cotton twine for the deck ropes; these were weathered with watercolor paints and pastels, too. The stack is modified for a more modern tug. Overall weathering was accomplished with Rustall, pastels, watercolors, burnt umber and burnt sienna acrylic paints, and a No. 6 pencil.” He made his own decals to name the boat Anna, for his youngest daughter.
