    Having built my Bangkok tug, it needed something to tow! In real life these little tugs get harnessed ,with others ,to 300 ton barges! In 1:24 scale Such a barge would take up a lot of lake,so Iโ€™ve been building the MMB Thames lighter. Cheated a bit and used the Sarik plans and laser cut frames, and then clad it in 1.5 mm obeche.
    Once primed ,Iโ€™ll have to play with ballasting. Iโ€™ve made two shallow drop in trays with real gravel glued on.
    More in due course
