Hi everyone I thought ide share with you a little build I’m working on over a couple weeks. It’s a us army harbour tub mini plan from this months edition of model boats magazine. Very simple design. Perfect for beginners and novice like myself. More pictures to follow 😀 Thanks for looking.

A little progress made on the harbour rug over the weekend, mainly sizing up of the motor and bit of hull work I’m aware the prop is far too long just for angle reference😁 I did however carry on after these pictures will post more pics later on today. 😊

Okay so over the couple of days I have done a bit of work on the us army tug, hull shaping ect, I think it’s turned out pretty well for a novice. The cable ties really helped with keeping the shape while the glue dried with the help of a few pins. Bit more filling/sanding to do and a few finer details then look at sealing it all up ready to finally get started on superstructure and detail/paint. Can’t wait to get this one on the water, it’s going to be a gift for my 2 young children who enjoy watching me build. Still plenty to do yet but definitely making steady progress.

Superstructure nearing completion 😁 spent most of the day on this build after waking up to snow on the ground I thought it was the perfect recipe for a quite day at the bench! I hope your all enjoying the progress pics, thanks for looking.

Few small details added this evening. So slight work needed on the hull before sealing too.

Been a little slow on the updates recently, finished off a few small details and sealing ect, applied some colour over the last 2 days, she is by no means perfect as reflected in the overall finish but hopefully with a couple more bits to do she will be ready for first float test and ballasting ect.
