Hi Hayden,
All of those sound great. Te Maru is definitely on the list. You'll have to do an Aorangi it needs to be big, and working.
Aoraki is a good looking boat as well. All Timaru's tugs would be good models.
The Titan must be the same Titan that was in Lyttelton for a while. I've only seen 2 photos of that but it is very interesting. Not too many paddle tugs worked in NZ. Lioness in Greymouth, Titan?? Did Timaru get Titan first or from Christchurch?
If you email me what you have on Te Maru and Titan I'll see what sort of plans I can make from your files. I could cut the frames for your Aorangi at the same time he he.
But first I need to finish off the little Hikurangi. It has been sitting in a cupboard for 12 months, 95% finished. Shouldn't take too long before I can get on to the next one. I have all of the laser cut parts for the Tika (out of Auckland) or the Kumea (Wanganui), another great little tug from Russel's site. Can't decide which one first, might have to toss a coin.
George now I know how you must feel there are tugs coming out of the woodwork, crying out to be made.
