N Scale Small Tugboat with Sailors
Project type
3D Design
Date
September 2023
Location
UT South Jordan
Got a small barge or float to move? This small and mighty tugboat will definitely pull more that its own weight on your layout.
Three sailors and One Captain are included. They are perfect in N scale but I'm not sure how they would do scaled up. The captain's pipe is over scaled so it will both print and survive post printing. Be careful removing its support before curing.
Forgive the thick white paint job. I didn't use model paint and I wish I had; it is way too thick.
The deck prints completely clear so you can add the details you want and to ease painting parts first before gluing them down. Glue the two side stairs on first before the superstructure.
Cables and tire holds are made from taking two strands of wire and twisting it tightly in an electric drill. Flag rope is made from nylon thread, it has a natural curve. The two antennas on the roof are stretched sprue.
