bigcreekdad Posted October 29, 2021 #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.
Cathead Posted October 29, 2021 #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.

Clark Griswold Posted October 29, 2021 #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). mtaylor and Canute 2 Amos Current Build: Occre Essex Whaler (1/60) Past builds: Amati Coca (1/60, 1st static ship) Little Shelley Foss (1/45) * Dumas Jenny Lee (1/32)* Dumas Painted Racer (1/8)* Dumas Ace Sloop
