Tugboat Serenity

I made her Bow fender out of a jar gripper folded in half , because I didn't want to spend a bunch of time making a bow fender! maybe in the future I'll make one up. see the way I have her tied off the H bitt.

Well I found this bow fender on eBay, what do you guys think about it for my Tug? 👍 👎
Sorry, about the picture and it being pixelated! trust me the fender looks ten time better than the picture!

ok, this is my tug with just tires at her bow! I didn't like the way she looks but, maybe looks are deceiving!

I just wanted to show my tow hook, its embedded in to the main cabin. I decided to do this when I noticed that the aft H bitt wasn't strong enough to handle towing. the H bitt can how ever handle on the hip towing!

OK, I'm going to take Serenity for her maiden voyage in about an hour or so. I'll be doing a video to document the voyage hopefully everything goes well! 👍

Her Fantail is made up of plastic and wood! I decided to just glue 1/6" X 1/8" spruce. if you look at the stern shot you can see how snug a fit there is! do you see the escape hatch!

Not the neatest looking engine room but, I do know where everything is! Serenity is powered by separate batteries.
two lead acid 6.0 volt 2.5 amp 9 volt 3.0 volts X 2 one power pack 1.5X8=12 volts. she has quite a bit of weight also a lot of muscle!
As you can see I'm not worried about RFI! 😯
oh, I forgot the receiver pack 6.0 volts!

Introducing my crew of gnomes, I found these at the local Dollar store!
I should of bought three packs instead of one.

I was looking at my new crew, I just noticed that one of my crew members is a different scale. it's at 1:50 instead of 1:32 it's not to bad of a difference. I'm just glad its the figure I inadvertently put as the captain! the only way you can tell is its about 5mm taller!
