Default Scale pics of Shelly Foss?

I'm building a Dumas Little Shelly Foss tug, and need some pics of both port and starboard side of the actual tug to lay out port holes, doors, etc. I did google search, but did not find much. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks (I'll post some pics of my build later)

There is a slightly obscured image here...

And two here, one from the stern, and one from astern and starboard...

And one here from the port side...

I would contact the owners of the website/images, and I am sure that they would be willing to send you some high resolution copies...

The owner of the tug race pages may have more images of the Shelly that he did not post.

And one good one here from off the port bow...

Thanks, Umi. I'd seen some of those, guess I'll have to make some contacts for additional pics from press, maybe from Foss directly. Here's some pics of my build. Funny, the brass gears are the same exact ones I remember my dad using in a Donzi kit back in the 60's when I was just a kid. Dumas hasn't changed much over the years.

Merc, I've got the Dumas 6 volt pitts motor, so I was planning on running a 5 cell hump pack NiCd. Should be about the right size/wt. This is the 24" model, so there isn't room for much bigger.
