bigcreekdad Posted October 29, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2021 Decided to try a tugboat, or other working vessel for my next build. Would prefer plank on frame, or other non solid hull kits. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathead Posted October 29, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2021 BlueJacket has three nice-looking tug kits, the Lackawanna, the Seguin, and a generic Diesel Tugboat, developed at different skill levels depending on what you're looking for. I've built their lobster boat, which came out quite well. Their catalogue has other work boats as well. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Eric Current builds: scratchbuilt Missouri River steamboat Peerless (1893); 1:1 scale timber-framed outdoor kitchen Nautical builds (kits): USS Cairo; NRG capstan project; NRG half-hull; Viking longship; US revenue cutter; 18th century longboat; Bounty launch Missouri River craft (scratchbuilt): 1853 Missouri River steamboat Arabia; 1865 steamboat Bertrand; Lewis & Clark barge; keelboat; 1876 steamboat Far West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Griswold Posted October 29, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 29, 2021 Although intended for R/C, the Dumas tugs can be built as static models. They can be somewhat of a challenge due to the subpar materials and plans but fun nevertheless. Of their tugs, I have built the Jenny Lee and Little Shelly Foss. I would recommend the Lord Nelson Victory Tug (its on my list of future builds).
