Tugboat

I've completed the Walthers tugboat kit.  Well, perhaps I might paint the deck a different color, or re-do the flags, but for all intents and purposes it's done.  The hull is cut to the waterline so it didn't need any adjusting that way.  My inspiration was the tugs my employer uses.  They're not exactly like this model but close enough.  I printed out some flags, a Corps castle, and some lettering for the bow and glued them on.  One of the pieces looked close enough to one of the radars on the control house.  All in all, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.  Especially considering how tough it was to put together at times.  It will make a nice focal piece for the shipping channel scene.

I've been watching some videos and planning how to proceed with pouring model water.  You only get one chance to get it right.
