Thanks for the words of wisdom Rich!!
I have 3 tug boat hulls that I could start after I finish my freighter build of the SS Alpena. I'll pick a shot that I have of the hull and post it. The Dumas drivetrain will be included but not the Astro motors or the 280D speed controls. There are great motors and the speed controls are balanced out for them. I can use them on another model.
I've got to be honest.
I saw a picture of a German police boat and I was going to use the Dauntless hull for that build ( I'll enclose a shot of her too) . When I saw her I was 'smitten', I even got a gentleman in Germany to get some shots of her and rough blueprints. If, by any chance, someone wants to build the police boat, it would be 1:12 build. I'm sure someone will think I'm nuts but I just liked her lines. When I found out she had been in service since 1972 I was floored! Our boat was built in '72 also. The lines are similar.
Will take guys.
