Hi all I'm currently building the ulises from occre, I'm trying to find online some images of the real versions to make my model stand out. Anyone have any suggestions greatly appreciated. Here's where I'm too currently

Hi. I just ordered mine from Occre. I do not believe that it was an actual vessel, but is based 60's era Ocean Tugs.

Here are some links

Most of the Tubs of that decade are very similar, with similar Hull coloring and various Green/ Brown color variations with cabin & Boiler housings. It really depends on how much effort you want to put into weathering, hull decoration reality etc. I've looked at plans from 60's & 70's plans and they do not vary much. As its not an actual Tug, the choice is a personal one. ( I know I want to do some LED signal lights on mine and maybe a smoker.). My power train will be Electric.

It's definitely not an Imara ( mind you that's a $1300 AU kit not $400)

That's fair enough, I appreciate the links. I have a smoker and lighting to be fitted later in in the build.
