Oops, sorry wrong stack photo.
This one is for the new 1/350 YTM 100' Tug.

New photo as soon as I find my memory card.

Harry,

The layout looks pretty cool. I have never done a scratch build but seeing yours gives me the desire to build a fleet oiler. Not sure of the difficulty with that yet but starting the research.

Hi Dave,

Thanks

Here is a great reference photo of YO-32.

Now for the shameful plug.

The YO-32 will be available as a kit from my website late August.

It may look like not much done, but several hours of sanding to the right size and squaring up.

Also, the correct lean on the stack.

Harry,

that's a very cool project, I'm in!

I've become a very infrequent commenter lately, busy with a lot of things, but that does not mean that I'm not at least checking in regularly

Cheers,
Jan

Hallo Jan,

I have not been working on models much either, too many other things going on.

I am making progress on the YO and 8 new crates for the 1/350 dock.

Well got all the new small crates in RTV except I forgot this one.
I think am getting too old for this.

Looking pretty good for the scale Harry! Those will make a fine addition to a dockside dio!

Now, here is a great dock setting. This photo was sent to me by David, who is worked my 1/700 ATF Tug into this very well done diorama.

Hi Russell,

Easy to miss, I have not got much done on this one for a while.
Trying to finish up a commission build.
