Default RE: 76 inch Tug build

Thanks Bob Im dry fitting all to running gear as I want to get them 100 percent right on Bob youre right about building a model of this size if i want to work on the port side Ive to move hull outside to turn it around as much as i hate doing this i just love building models perhaps more than I like PLAYING with them also Ive got all the deck and cabin wheel house fitting I got most of them from across the pond most in 1/12 scale or close you name it Ive got it this tug is going to look out of this world As for the fishing its going real good today I landed a yellow fin tuna 40 pounds on 12 pound test line so this fish put me in second place as of today but still a long summer to go

Alex,

You're moving along real well with the boat. The Starboard Kort nozzle looks well aligned and I see you're getting the bumper glued on. The control House looks terrific. As I'm looking at the pics (really like the big ones) I'm thinking to myself it must be interesting to work on a 6 foot model where you have to stand on your feet to accomplish most things. The boats I build I sit at the workbence in the basement. Never get it out of the basement come to think of it, doors are only 30" wide, lol. Then theres the steps! The largest kit I have is the Dumas American Enterprise at 52" which is a future project.

How was fishing? Hope you had a blast and caught a lot of large fish.

Bob
