I placed the rudder servo forward of the gear box.
The folks at dumas wanted it placed.
Against the coaming that runs along the opening of the hull!
I found this angle troubling! The servo would be on a 180 degree angle. Which would be hard to get to. What if I don't have a screw driver. that's small enough to get to the screws!
So, the servo has been placed next to the gear box!
On a 90 degree angle which makes it extremely accessible.

I have also placed the receiver.
On the coaming using double sided tape.
I placed the aerial on a piece of wood.
I placed on a 90 degree angle!

On my last Tug I put the receiver.
On the motor mount floor.
And the aerial against the coaming!

It’s a snow day there’s a blizzard going on!
I'm waiting for my glues to arrive!
Just test fitting everything. Yes I know the smoke stack is too tall.
It hasn’t been cut. to the length it has to be. as I said just test fitting!
Oh, if you look on the very top of the smoke stack.
Is a car panel plug or cap of some kind. Which I found on one of my daily walks. Thought I could use it for the top of the stack and it fits to the tee! makes for a better looking top of the stack!
Gives it a more tapered look!

Partly completed smoke stack.
No, your not seeing things!
Dumas has used what looks like a Paper tower holder spool!
As the smoke stack for the Tug Brooklyn!
No I'm not kidding, Really a paper towel spool.
Only it has a wax finish to the outer surface!

Then they made the pop rivet band out of clear plastic.
Had to use 200 watts of light to see the cuting lines.
But I was able to cut in some what of a straight line!
You can see I placed them about 2" apart!
After you paint the smoke stack.
The bands will come out as part of the details!

Got to give a thanks to RNinMunich!
Doug the white bands you see on the smoke stack.
Those were what I needed the measurements for!
Thanks Again!

I have completed the smoke stack!
It seems a bit tall for a smoke stack!
I know the steam Tugs had Very tall stacks.
But this one is about 10 1/4" inches tall!
And that's measuring from the Ash Deflector!
Other wise it's 11 1/2" inches over all....

Pilot house has now been completed.
I'm going to put the running lights later.
I'll be using extremely thin wire for this!

I inadvertently placed a piece of 1/4" spruce.
To support the gluing of the outer cover of the pilot house.
Didn't realize you could see it, Oops!
Hope I don't get 100 points taken away by the Model Police.....😲

Main Cabin Deck has been bondo'ed!
After I bondo'ed the seam on the main deck.
Had to sand it down. Two hours later presto!
A nice smooth main cabin deck!

I wanted to make it even smoother.
But I ran out of elbow grease!

The main cabin deck is 25" long.
Quite a big seam to sand.
Had to take breaks!
I Did like the karate kid.
"Wax-on Wax-off!"

I finished putting the wainscoting.
Around the pilot house.
I had ordered a glue with applicator.
But I haven't received it yet!
So I decided to work on the wainscoting anyway!
So far so good!

Next is the window sills.
Which are 1 mm!😲
Steady hands, I hope!👍

I went to check the mailbox.
Yeah, my glues arrived!
Now I can continue with my build....😁😁😁

My Humbrol Poly Cement came dry as a bone! Bottle had set!
Unfortunately had to get in contact. with the folks at Cornwall Model Boats! By the time I get it I won't need it!

I've glued the cabin sides in place.
I've also put the front of the cabin as well!
I have one seam on the cabin starboard side.
Which will need to be filled.
A bit of Bondo (P38) will do the trick!

Note:
When you go to glue the main deck onto the main cabin.
Use slow curing glue. So in case you have to move the main deck you can do so before the glue sets!

All port lights are in place, all 26 of them!
The aft cabin port lights are optional.
I decided to put them. as it adds detail to the cabin.
On most tugs of that era they had port lights aft.

Brooklyn is a representation of a 1910 steam tug.
They were dark green in color. But I want a light green.
30 years ago, when I worked in New York Harbor.
I remember having to spray paint a GM6110 Diesel Engine.
The green was a light green, Kind of light in shade.
I believe the name of the color is Alpine Green!

So, I won't be painting my tug yet.
until I find the right shade of green that I want!
The dark green makes the tug look menasing!

Now if you look at the third picture on the right.
That's the shade. I wouldn't mind painting her!
If anybody can identify that shade of green.
Please let me know who might have it.
Or where can I purchase it from....
