Dave's Tugboat Project #2

I thought that a taller smoke stack would make the tug look a older than the first,



A piece of PVC pipe seemed to be the perfect size for a replacement. I cut it to the length I wanted and ran my tubing cutter around the middle to score a line to glue a strip of plastic to add some detail to the stack. I fitted the tube to the base.



For the detail on top of the stack I glued it to a piece of styrene, then cut the hole out and filed the outside edge to shape. I wrapped a band of plastic under that and a thinner band around the middle along the line I scribed with the tubing cutter. Just a little more height on the stack made notable difference.
