Nice start Pete, It looks like It's going to be an interesting build, with plenty of work to do.

Hi Peter,

Great start and more sophisticated process than my attempt at building the same a while back. You'll enjoy it as much as I did and what a weird scale it was. Here's a shot of my finished Tugboat...
