Courageous Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Here is my latest maritime subject, the tug 'SA Everard' in 1/100 and with the exception of two items, she is scratch built. I started this back in 2018 and is built using mostly plasticard and rod, metal tubing, clear acetate for the wheelhouse. The windlass and anchor are 3D printed by @Iceman 29, thanks Pascal. Paints were wide and various, and the decals came from my decal bank. Figures are 1/96 from Deans Marine. WIP here: Stuart 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Superb result Stuart, and as a first scratch build, I'd say you are a bit of a natural at this game! That seascape is also very convincing. Well done! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Gidday Stuart, it's a shame the figures aren't to scale. 😁 Seriously, she's a great model. That tyre hanging over the side is a nice touch. Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 What a characterful little model very nicely presented. I really like the shape of the gunwale around the bow and those suspended tyres. As it's scratch built, I'm guessing it's unique, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancona Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Its a pleasure to see this one finished, you certainly have a talent for this scratchbuilding malarkey and your paintwork is absolutely superb, the subtle grubbiness is spot on, congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-boat 55 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Great result, she looks wonderful, you may think it an odd thing to highlight but I love the curve on the stern it really shows the overall quality of the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hi Stuart! I was curious what you boat builders produce so I called by to take a look! Very nice, mate :). I dont think I'll be tempted but it is great to see such great modelling. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
