Building the IMARA TUG

[Ian M]

I could be tempted to say that this might be the best yet to come off the bench in the Walsall ship yard.

Just as a scale model, its the "Box deluxe" as I believe the term originated from....as a working RC boat. Its freaking amazing.

Looking forward to seeing it sail.

Here are a few pics. All the deck fittings are now in place. All that is left is the window glaze in the rear cabin, some radio gear, the smoke unit ( still to purchase). the sound unit and weather the exterior hull and we will be done.

I can almost smell the sea and hear the chains and mechanisms turning from the pictures. Brilliant work Andy, you must be very proud of this.

Not looked in for a while Andy & I have been missing something.

That is incredible in so many ways. God you must have some patience apart from enthusiasm.

That is quite something !

What can I say Andy...?

The general weathering is superb.

And the most important, your enthusiasm is enviable and contagious!!

Thank you for share with all every step of this fantastic build.

I mentioned before that its worth a trip down just to see a certain aircraft in your possession ... you just keep adding to the temptation mate.
