💬 Re: Started my new build MV American Beauty. and finished my Tugster Tug Boat Kit

Hi Bruce1946,
I have built all the Dumas Tugboats!
I had no idea the American Beauty model!
Was built using cheap ply!
I Sir have learned from you!
It's a shame they did her in cheap ply!
That makes for a terrible experience!
I have built all the model tugs by Dumas!
And they're done in ABS except for the San Pedro which has a wooden frame!
ABS sheets used for the Hull!
I wish you much success in her build!
Cheers, Ed
PS, I look forward to seeing the completed vessel!

Hi Bruce,
Happy New Year!
One question?
Will you be collecting the Dumas Barge kit for her!
It's Kit #1219!
I built the Barges years ago!
They measure in at 43"s which add to the tug and barge float!
Cheers, Ed
It's a very good kit and would add to your American Beauty Build!

I really like the way the rudder came out!
And the grab rails also look great!
Are they hand made or pressed the grad rails?

Hi Edulop,
No the Kort Nozzles comes with the kit!
I haven't measured then But, I believe they are 50mm Nozzles
They are of a very good quality mode!
What I did was I purchase the Happy Hunter along with the other items needed!
I purchase the Motors from Krick!
And the Bow Thruster!
Oh, And the Fittings Kit also!
Later, I will take a picture of the contents!
Cheers, Ed

I've got the Happy Hunter as my Winter build!
But, It looks as if it'll take more that 2 years to build!
Which it's OK as I am looking forward to a long build!
Stay tuned!
Currently: Under Construction!
No Camera Available, Damn the Luck!
