Great blog. Is that a beach ball in the mud? Will there be beach bunnies? Mud wrestling? Volley ball? PaulE

Wonderfully stupid or stupidly wonderful. You are providing the wife and I with much fun :tongue-out3:

Cheers all.
Fun is the name of the game and if I can provide just one ounce of that en-route then I am more than happy.
The peace is shattered.
A coach load of tourists has arrived and the only person smiling is 'King Edward' Edwards, the Chippy owner!
We're doomed Mr. Mannerin'

Just watch those Zulus don't set fire to the pub, like they did with that hospital.

What a coachload mate, hes going to be rubbing his hands in the chippy , is that a couple of mermaids i see near the end of the knife blade , you could have them reclining in the mud !
Mud wrestling mermaids! Now that would be a tourist attraction.......:astonished:
Apart from adding a few punters, I've pretty well finished 'The Clacker' pub. I couldn't decide what sort of safety railings to fix, then I remembered seeing clear sheeting used, so I cut some plastic sheets to size and fitted those. I think it looks better than solid timber railings.
I made a couple of benches for the pub too. One for 453 and Rick H on the patio and one large one inside for Hen Parties.
The Clacker.
I've built a bit more stone wall to follow the stair rake.
Cheers all.

Outstanding work Ron.

Looks brilliant.
Clear railings are a clever idea as they won't obscure the details.

Hi Ron
The Clacker is excellent - could be a stand alone model.

Can it get any better? Yes it can! Makes me want to be beside the sea.
Ron,
Simply superb.

Once again, thank you all for your most excellent comments. Love 'em all!
Here you go Allen. Finished at last.
The tug looked too clean and not 'Busy' enough, so I went back to it, added more rigging and all sorts of stuff, including a washing line!
...and of course tins of paint and the Red Duster.
I had to include some sort of reference to Zulus in this build so here is the phonetic Z (Zulu) flag which very aptly means "I need a Tug!"
I intended to buy some rubber tyres for fenders 'till I saw the price!.... :astonished: So I added some more thread to the kit fenders to make them look worn and neglected. I only modified the port side ones as the others will be up against the jetty and not seen.
Plenty of washing out to dry too....
She is now finally ready to be moored up and secured to the jetty.
Cheers.

Hi Ron,
Great stuff, love the details, the background, and the boat is tremendous.
Sorry only just seen your message, yes very busy, lemmings have arrived, just moved in to our new £2m home, new boat arrived so conversion training underway. Had to put modelling on the backburner for now, but still looking for future projects.
Cheers

Thanks Dave and thank too for the good tip.
I had a look on eBay, but all the dinky toy tyres seem to be smooth with no tread pattern, but next time I'm passing a charity shop I'll take a look.
Thanks Alun, Glad you like the build thus far.
You and the lads stay safe and look after your new boat 'cos I bought a bit of it!
Ron
