G'day Vince, I've had a look on my PC but cannot find any pics of fitting the rudder, from memory I remember fitting two brackets and drilling the holes through the hull and securing the prop tubes in place with car body filler, hope this helps you,

Best regards John,

Now I have finished my Borkum Steam Launch, I just have to wait to get time to take her to the pond,

I have decided to carry on with my Imara Tug, I don't have a lot of pics of the early construction as
they were lost when the MSW forum crashed a couple of times, the basic hull and super structure is
moulded fibre glass and quite strong, however there are a couple of weak spots on the superstructure
area so I used builders license to fix them, so I hope you enjoy the rest of the build,

Wow, I love those pictures.
I’m a tug lover and “Imara” is my favorite. It is a very intricate model with a “thousand” parts, but when is all done, it is a very impressive and elegant looking tug.
I have a few of them in my closet and also scratch building the “Statia Reliant”.

Thank you for your nice comments, your tugs look really good, and I really enjoy the framing stage of the build where you can see the shape of the tug emerging, thank you for sharing,
Best regards John,

Neptune I saw your mesage earlier, at the same time when you wrote it because I also have lots of trouble sleeping.
I found a few more pics of my tug.
Maybe I pick it up again and create a building log for everyone to see.
