Looks like the Happy Hunter to me ...



Which in my humble opinion could make a gaming table by itself. At 1/50 it is 100 cm long and 23 cm wide.

Have a look <a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/RC-Schiff-RC-Schlepper-/370522376924?pt=DE_Allesf%C3%BCrKind_Spielzeug_FerngesteuertesSpielzeug&hash=item5644dacadc" target="_blank">here[/url]

well..like it a lot...is it approximately 1/50?

[von der Tann]

It is supposed to be 1/48. I made some photos with some miniatures.







The big mini is a terminator from WH40k, the grey one is an Imperial Guardsman, also WH40k, while the two silver colored ones are Celtos Barbarian chicks from I-Kore.
Hope this helps.

It's a little small but Revell make a modern(ish) tug. Could be the basis for a conversion.

They also make an Exploration vessel, the hull of which might be suitable for a conversion.

I've seen plenty of cheap wooden tug boat models in various gift shops. Might be worth looking at.

Found a tugboat yet Prof.?

[Prof.Witchheimer]

not yet, wanted to buy that damaged one, but unfortunately missed the end of auction. And the last weeks were too busy. But it's on the top of my to-do-list.
