| Freelance tug - sort of! - Posted: 11th Apr 2009 by ronniekh | |
| http://modelfireboats.com/?link=1806 >> Link directly to this post - (Paste into forums etc for reference)As the name suggests, this is a scratch build sort of tug. The hull is based on a (very small) Pinacce photo of a model steam open boat. I did not fancy making a steam unit (time is the problem) and I had had an idea of doing a tug for quite a while. I liked the shape so started in the usual way. I wanted to keep the cost down and so almost everything is scratch made, though a few bits were "borrowed" from where I work - an engineering firm. Most of the work on this model is more of an experiment for my next tug which will also be from scratch but will have everything working. The "Archer". The winches are at the moment none working, the doors do not open, I have no idea if there is any tug that looks anything like this but I am very pleased with the result. I hope you like it.

| Amsterdam - Posted: 14th Oct 2008 by oldiron | |
| http://modelfireboats.com/?link=1765 >> Link directly to this post - (Paste into forums etc for reference)My Amsterdam is done from an old Latina kit. It has the board on frame hull construction of the older kits. I've done some modifications from the kit such as, larger bridle winch, bridle assemblies, extra aft deck detail, lowered engine room cover, brass lifting boom, recessed anchor pockets, enlarged rudder and various miscelaneous detail changes.

| Amsterdam Built in 2004 by Peter - Posted: 7th May 2008 by Peter F | |
| http://modelfireboats.com/?link=1736 >> Link directly to this post - (Paste into forums etc for reference)The black Amsterdam is mine, built in 2004 from the Artesania Latina kit. It is powered by a 545 motor through a pulley reduction drive, and the battery is a 6v, 10ah SLA.
The kit prop was replaced by a brass one. The yellow model belongs to Peter Barlow, a member of our club, and was built several years before mine. It is also an Artesania kit.
Our club, the Ballina RSL Club Marine Modellers, sail in a tidal salt water lake in Ballina, which is on the far north coast of NSW, Australia.
Peter Fitness.
