Fantastic work Grahame, I think this is the best I have seen so far. I have noticed that most of the models I have seen have the Vent cowels facing forward, is this correct? When looking at some pictures of the actual boats they were facing backwards! I am half way through my 46'' model and am very confused.
Best Regards

well deck

I've done it by making a removable secthion that is like a tub if water comes over the stern, and it always does if you go astern the water only goes in to it and not in to the bottom of the hull, it seems to work ok and there are several ways you can do it. this is pre Paint

Is this kit built, as I have been looking for one. I have my eye on a 'Kitshack' kit off Ebay.

Amsterdam

My Amsterdam is done from an old Latina kit. it has the board on frame hull construction of the older kits. I've done some modifications from the kit such as, larger bridle winch, bridle assemblies, extra aft deck detail, lowered engine room cover, brass lifting boom, recessed anchor pockets, enlarged rudder and various miscelaneous detail changes.

Thanks very much. I use a Decaperm motor in mine. I have the same lighting and horn features too. I agree, its a good reliable vessel.

Hi,I have now purchased Russels superb model,and it really is a beaut! it has now sailed into its new Port, near Falmouth, Cornwall.As was the real tug, it will be renamed "St.Mawes" and painted in the Falmouth Towage colours, to compliment my 2 other Falmouth Tugs,"St.Denys" and "St.Levan" The real tug, has long since been sold, reverted to her former name of "Ionia" again, and now lies rusting away, at Bideford,in Devon, where there is some talk of her being converted into a floating Cafe ! As for the model,I hope to be able to use it regularly, both for static displays,in aid of the RNLI, or indeed, on the water. THANKS Russ, for keeping your faith in me,I am so proud to own it.
