I love the Tid Tug. I built mine on a Kingston Mouldings hull and plan. You must have great satisfaction building the hull from ply. The open bridge makes a nice change.👍

Hi Doug,
It took a few attempts to put what I intended, that is put all models on the same page, and I don't know how to erase the the mistakes. Also the 'reply' button on your post did not work for me. Sorry for any confusion.
Regards, Jim.

This is my harbour!
HDML built from a MB hull/ plan.
Eastwood 24, a boards cruiser.
A Tid Tug built from a Kingston
Mouldings hull/ plan.
Bruma, a fishing boat converted to a cruiser. One motor, two screws.
Starlet, built from a Vic Smeed plan.
Sadly, I sold it two years ago.
Kyosho Fairwind, a popular model that
gave me many hours of pleasure.

Hi Roy,
Sometimes we overlook the simple things. Has the EPA been set to suit a previous model? Hope it helped.

Just like to share a couple of my models.
A Tid Tug built from a Kingston Mouldings hull/plan on a pond at Sneterton airfield.
STARLET built from a Vic Smeed plan at Eaton Park Norwich.
The pond at Sneterton is no longer available and the shipmates have mostly died or become incapacitated, hence the lack of activity on my part.
However, onwards and upwards!

Has anyone built this model? It's from a Model Boats plan.
I started to about 4 years ago and got 'writers block' I'm not sure which size or type of wood to plank the frame. All my other boats have been built onto fibreglass hulls. Your help would be appreciated.

I started to build an HDML 5 years ago from a MODEL Boats free plan.
It has been on the water but I have not finished all the fittings etc. I hope this will give me the kick to get on with it.
