Lord Nelson Victory Tug by Andrewiscookin - Dumas - 1/16th - RADIO

[Andrewiscookin]

Ahoy it is time for me to begin my next build this will be my first tugboat. I picked one that was originally build here in Seattle that are still around for me to go see. The lord Nelson victory tug 37’ by dumas that I was finally able to get on sale.  This project is for my wife so she has something to play with as well so I will make her do some of the work too.

 

sofar the unboxing and labeling of pieces the cut pieces are a bit rough and includes some wood and plastic? Which I may end up cutting out of some ply but I will make that decision once I get there.

today I start with the stand and labeling

 
tomorrow I will actually be able to see one close up at Olympia harbor days as I’ve been told one showed

Well I think I only found a model of the victory tug today but that works for me very inspired by this tug creosote and that may be the colors I’m lookin for. What a wonderful day doing “research”

Andrew, it was a true pleasure meeting you this Sunday at the Tugboat Festival in Olympia Washington. 
This is what Model Ship World is all about! Just like this, members meeting up at a festival to share interests. And meeting face-to-face.
Andrew it was also a pleasure to meet your significant other. I wish you would have had more time with us Olympia Model Sailor, but at same time find more information about the tug you are building.
I sorry to know that you weren't pleased with the outcome of your yacht as I was hoping to see it and take some pictures of her.
Guess there will be other opportunities!

Best to you and I am happy meeting you.
