Hi Carleroo , thank you for the reply 🙂 I've already been on the Oc-cre site to look at this Tug Boat and it's a pretty impressive kit . As I've always been impressed by Tugs , I can see this one in my home down the road . The opening page at Oc-cre is showing off what might be a new kit ? for them , The Endurance ! and at this point in my life ( beginner modeller ) I am still quite fascinated by the old Sailing ships  and the Endeavour just took a big leap to the front of the line as far as what to build next (?)  even passing 2 or 3 others that I saw here on MSW that caught my eye 😉 . There's just something special about a Tug Boat ? being a powerhouse and a real workhorse that I like , thanks again for letting me know about the good instructions and good quality of materials , take care 🙂 / rick .

Very nice looking Tug Boat !  How were the instructions from this company - as in very detailed and easy to follow ? or left a lot to be desired  Have you done a review of the overall that I could go and read somewhere ? Please . I really love the colour scheme and details 🙂

Thank you very much for the reply John 🙂 

I've heard of the company here and through another fellow who highly recommended them also , thank you for the link too , I'm going to check them out now . 🙂 

Hi again John , knowing that you did all the sewing to create them makes them all the more impressive ! wow . Could you tell me please which company makes this model ? and if you found the instructions easy to follow or did they leave a lot to be desired ? . I've been admiring the ratlines but haven't figured out how to zoom in through this site ? (yet?)  and am wondering if they're small wooden parts that you've glued to the stays ?  or tied to them ?  Thank you for your reply 🙂 

The sails are wonderful ! ( are they part of the kit ? )  or are they made from scratch by you ? pls

Wow , John - this is a lovely boat , makes me want one ! maybe for build #2 

John , I really like this little boat , did you add some of what looks like weathering effects to the (bulwarks ?) not sure if that's their proper name and to the stern ? looks very authentic to me at least ( I'm a very green beginner )  and if you did add some weathering , did you consider adding it to the seat planks ? wear marks to those planks would up the realism (imho) and I really like the lobster trap ! the mischief maker in me imagine's a lobsters claw sticking back out the hole as it's trying to escape 🙂 ( may not be the look you're going for though )  Cheers .
