After a long time I made some small progress again.
Printed the deck and superstructure on paper and made a support for the vessel.

After a long time finally it is off the board.
Was too busy at work the last couple of months.

Closed the hull this week after several weeks of no time.
Now it is coated in PU resin. After sanding the hull will be smoothed out with putty.

Testfitted.
Overall dimensions are ok, some minor adjustments need to be made on the hole positions.

At this moment I am working on a new nozzle design. Some parts need to be removable to dismount the rudder.

It for sure is a nice type of tug.
When I get home from holiday I will post the article about the modernisation of the vessels.

3 of the modernised vessels have been refurbished and repainted a couple of years ago at a yard close to my home. A friend of mine did the transportation from England to Holland.
2 of these vessels are the Ogbomoso and the Balali. Both sold to Nigeria.

2009.

"Shiloh", ex-US Army 'LT 1973', Falmouth Harbour, 19.05.09, as seen from passenger ferry Enterprise 3 on her way up to Truro. She was built in 1954 and is now privately-owned. Thanks to Ivan S. Abrams for the tug history data. 24.01.10 - Update. Tug has recently left Falmouth to travel to Hull via Portland to collect a barge. She will then be taking a long voyage to West Africa to start work towing logs. She is now owned by a company called Buchanan Renewable Energy.
