Dean's Marine Tug YARRA

Almost there! I applied a coat of Humbrol Satincote today to the hull and superstructure. The superstructure is now complete except for one mast light which was a faulty casting and needs repair.
Tomorrow (if Grandson doesn't come visiting ) will see the deck fittings installed and maybe a flotation test to see how many pounds of lead it requires.

The rudders are off to facilitate installing the props

And a lovely job you made of this too.

Very nice indeed Barrie a fine job, Lets hope your able to get some pics or vid of her on the water soon

Well done a superb model.

Thanks guys When the props arrive I'll get her in the water as soon as possible and try to get a photo.

I managed to get Yara on the water this morning for her maiden voyage. She sails very well - just a slight adjustment needed to the ballast to bring her level. I managed a few photos, but they are not very good - it was about 2 degrees C, with a perishing wind.

Looks just like she should Barrie gret job mate

Thanks Phil - I'll try and get some better shots and maybe some video when it warms up a bit

It'll be a long wait then matey

Seeing as this is technically a finished Build Barrie would you like me to move it to the tug section

Yes please Phil. You could also move the Damen Stan tug and move the Pilot 40 build to the appropriate section.
