JAMES WILLIAM tugboat

A Harbor Tugboat in 1/24 scale

A tugboat built on the plans of the Midwest JIM WILDER tugboat.  The hull ia a Chuck Steffen product, with laser cut 3mm birch plywood deck and cabin from our shop. The deck and cabin have been covered with strip wood to simulate the actual wooden vessel. It is named after my grandson who enjoyed running it in the wading pool on its' first outing.
