Greetings

I am looking for a scratchbuilder/resin caster, to make some tug boats for me. I am in need of 6 tugs in 1/700 and 4 in 1/350. they are of the C-Tractor type. I have looked all around and can only find WWII stuff not any Modern Tugs. Would any one help?? You can tell me your $
Thanks in Advance.

How about these? I found that there are 4 distinctly different types of C-tractor so I choose 2 of them (covering Nos 1-11). The only actual dimenisons I have are LAO and beam, everything else is estimated from online images. So no guarantee of any accuracy....
The only other addition I considered was the 3 winches they all have but I've run out of enthusiasm for this particular project - I find working without scale drawings is particularly taxing. You'd have to supply railings, ladders etc from PE and brass rod.

Scale is 1/350; I'm not going to try 1/700. Photos are of the castings I am able to make now ( I don't think I have the ability to cast these successfully in 1/700). Each set consists of three seperate parts: hull, superstructure and wheelhouse.
