I was contacted by someone that would like to have a tug model built (i cant find one so I'm assuming it has to be scratch-built) for a relative. I don't have the time to dedicate to the project so I'm trying to find someone that does. Let me know if this is something that interests you.

I really hate to pass up a commissioning, and this would be a very cool boat to build, but quite honestly, there just isn't enough time in the day for me now, mate...You may want to give crew member Martin Quinn a pm, he's a great modeler who builds for commission...
Good Luck!

GI_Babycakes,
I would help you out but I'm just getting back into modeling and I don't have the required skills. I wish you luck and trust gunny he knows what he's talking about....maybe(kidding).

Now this is what I'm use to seeing around here. The only tug I know.
You know, if you start with that Lindber 4 in 1 kit, you would have a good base to work from.
