    Revell Harbour Tug Boat - decaying away.

    Hi all
    I am calling this complete. It has been something new for me. Quite a learning curve. It has turned out OK for a kit which only cost £8. Most of it was shared on the old MilMod forum and I am eternally grateful for all the comments and support.

    Jim .
    To think how this looked out of the box and what you have ended up with 5***** Every little detail has been painstakingly done, what a start to Scale Models.

      Jim,

      Top draw mate. I echo what John has said.

        Blinkin' marvellous Jim! I can smell the sea (and rotting seaweed!) and hear the cry of the gulls. Reminds me so much of the times I've spent in St Ives, wandering among the boats in the harbour at low tide.

        Peter.

            Jim, that is spot on. One first class build.

            Well done.

                Beautifully done, but I gotta tell you it'd shine up real nice with a bit of T-Cut!

                  Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was fun to do but I'm glad to have it done. Now I can move on to a new project in my new home - Scale Models :thumb2:

                      Well Jim, I honestly can say I enjoyed following the build of this one. And it is definitely your best work so far. It's great to see each and everyone's progress and evolution, isn't it? ^^

                      Cheers

                        What is there not to luv about this build. A wonderful subject which you have completed so well. You can see you had a lot of fun and I am so glad it turned out as well as it has. Great work mate

                          Jim, Fantastic finish, glad that I was able to join the site and catch up with your build


                          Hope that that gull doesn’t poop all over the deck LOL

                              I like that a lot.
                              Very well beaten up rust bucket.
