Bit more done today - the tug has been primed and painted gloss white and ive given the wheels a wash and stuck them on. Ive also made a towing bar from rod and two of the tiny wheels from the 1/200 hummer , the tug wheels were from the 1/144 revell concorde i did ages ago. Tomorrow ive got to stick on the bumpers and towing hitch , make some grilles and lights ( probably from spare bits of decal) then its just about ready for putting with the 737 on the base and taking to the newark show . Cheers tony

Tug is looking great Tony. Very small work project that one, but it's going to look the part with your 737Comment

Well i got it done last night ,just in time for the Newark show tomorrow. I finished the tug off with some bits of spare decal - the unused landing lights from the Two six 737 sheet for the headlights and bits of the unused seat decal from the camaro kit for the grilles. I made rear lights and the amber beacon from poundland nail art gems and also used these to make the door mirrors , mounted on fuse wire arms. The towing hitches were made from pieces of U shaped evergreen rod with tiny bits of round rod added . Thebase was finished off with random splatters and fluid stains and fitted into the frame . Heres the pics of thetug and a couple of the finished frame and 737 , I'll be putting a full set on a completed thread later , thanks for watching cheers tony[ATTACH]288811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288824[/ATTACH]Comment
