Good job Harry
Skipper

Ahoy, mates!

Harry is busy pouring resin, but he took the time out to send us some "sneek peek" images of the master sculpt for this new addition...added to the original MSW announcement, which can be seen Here!

Cheers,

Hi All,

The ATF is finally here after four times of getting it wrong, the fifth time is a charmer.






Thanks for your patience,
Harry

Hi Harry!

The hull shows that a lot of hard work was put in that little piece! What catches my eye, appart from the usual details BFM hulls have, is the detail on the mid deck gear (capstan? (I don't remember the english word right now!))
Excellent!!!

Skipper

That's beautiful work Harry.

and although I don't remember the correct words my visual memory haven't failled on me!
I knew that this hull with the derrick amidship was familiar.... this is why:

Kamikaze Hit!!

A different scale, but...

Skipper

Thanks for the compliments, Rui, Kenny, much appreciated.

Rui, the plans state Towing Machine. But to me its a Winch.

Hi Harry

YES! Winch is the word I was looking for!
Thank you
Skipper

Harry another beauty.

I think when the summer is over and I have some spending money a collection of tugboats and lighters will be started, as all your releases have been beauties (although built by those far more talented than me) and are just different from the norm.

Thanks for sharing.

Ciao
Luciano

Hi,

Thank You, Luciano, and all the others who sent PM's and E-mails!
Much Appreciated!!

To answer questions from several of you, about a modern version. Yes, I am working on the U.S.C.G. Cutter Tamaroa (WHEC-166) in her 1991 guise.
This kit will include all 3 of the Cutter's rigid hull inflatable rescue boats (RHIB)




One of the most publicized events in the Tamaroa's history occurred in 1991 during the so called "No Name Storm of Halloween, 1991," immortalized in the book The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. The Tamaroa rescued three persons from the sailboat Satori 75-miles off Nantucket Island.

Hi All,

I have had a few request for photo's of the complete kit.
Here they are.

Hi Harry

I took the liberty of editing the images so that they are not distorted
Cheers,
Skipper








PS: Nice details, as usual

Thanks, Rui.
To us old guys everthing looks fuzzy

Harry,
Does that third photo show alternative stacks, including the tall skinny one? I was hoping to model Takelma ATF-113, of the tall skinny stack variant.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,

Yes, you can do 113 . I made the three stacks I had the plans for, sorry about my bad photos , I have never been good with a camera.

Here is the complete list of parts:
