HI Dave
The hull is complete as is most of the tug however there are about twenty parts in the bottom of the tug, I have a old six foot coaster almost compleatly rebuilt, it had several holes where the planks had given way that now has two coats of glassfiber on it, so the same treatment will happen to my tug also you are right about the glue on picking it up a piece it it came away, I also have a fully re furnished fireboat the same as your photo, thanks for your reply.
Sorry I can't post photos until I get me laptop back I am using my IPad at the moment.

I went to collect a model boat for a friend and ended up buying one for me (10 pounds), how ever my dog then set about destroying the Instruction sheet on plans came with It, so I was wondering If anyone can help me It says Veron tug boat "Titan" It Is about 20 Inches long and seems to have most of the bits and Is part built, It would be nice to get her up and running. I think It would have been steam powered when new, the boat has never been fitted with any power unit. I think It maybe late 50s or 60s, but not sure but hoping someone out there will knots all about It.
Many thanks
Kevin

HI All
would just like to say that Jon is the genius behind the fire monitors, power, and wiring, I am sure he would help others if he can.
As to the colour we tried to bring it up to date as with some of the equipment as it has flashing blue lights, siren, also working monitors, surchlight, nav lights, etc however I did not have chancce to see the paint for the deck dry to see the finished look so things may change , there seems to be as many coloue scheams as there are boats.
