Plastic tugboat.

In the neverending dance of moving things from here to there I found an old project that I don't think has ever been shown off at this finished stage.
At the time I was working on an 80's based theme which was going to be based around low level costal raids, because I like 80's Naval ships and seeing as a Leander class would be a bit excessive I built a patrol boat based on the Island class and a generic landing craft.
For some reason it was decided the force needed a generic tugboat as a transport, which I built, cast in resin because I'm mad and then never did anything with it again. As you do.

*Edit: looking back at old posts I did have a thread for this but all the pictures have disappeared so it may or may not be new to you.*

Looks great, and new pictures to me.

Any particular reason you decided to make a resin cast of this, do you plan a fleet of tug boats?

Thanks, and no real reason, I was just enjoying the process of resin casting at the time so everything I made was done with that in mind, I think I also had some mad idea about using the hull for some conversions for other types of boat, but it was a along time ago so I'm not really sure.

Perhaps see if one of the miniature makers would buy it to cast commercially? Looks a good model and whilst not my period I’d think it would be useful at that size for various games
