Revell Harbour Tug Boat

[Jim R]

Hi all
I have just joined this forum and thought my latest model may be of interest. The Revell kit is quite old - mid 1970s. I wanted to show it as an abandoned, derelict quietly rusting away. It is almost finished, just a few details to add. Ropes, tyre fenders etc. Feedback is most welcome.

Hi Jim, I never replied to this thread on the other place I think but I did follow it and I must say, I think this definitely is becoming your best work to date. The scene really has something to it and I really love the weathering. Comes together rather nicely ey!

Cheers

The larger photos on this site really do show off your work even better than before. Is that a crab climbing up the hull?:smiling3:

Wow thats rather good!

Wouter, Steve and Ian
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I want to get this finished - not a lot to do now - so I can start a new build on my new forum. I think many of the ex MilMod guys will want to get a nice new start.

That's really nice. I love to see a bit of weathering and an old boat is an ideal subject for a bit of rust etc.

[Jim R]

Thanks guys
We are now even closer to the end. We have a handrail by the steps and a seagull on the roof! :smiling2:

Spectacular finish Jim. The final touch with the seagull will set it off.

Cheers,
