Hi Steve, as for picking a subject, I am now at the stage of looking for tugs from the 1900 to 1975 era that catch my eye, modern tugs do nothing for me I am afraid, my brother John is the modern tug builder ( tugnut) on the forum.
Ant yes thanks Tug the pictures were very handy being an ex civilian tuggie I can’t bring myself to paint a lovely tug grey,so chose the yard craft (RFA) colours instead, Although a good few years ago I did build an Assurance class at 1/32nd scale completely plank on frame, as Assiduose because when she was managed by Watkins during the war my Dad was Chief Engineer on her.
The model was fitted with a cheddar proteus steam plant as well.
