Sobre este barco

Resolve was a class of ocean going tug built for the Admiralty just after WW1. The model is built from the Caldercraft kit and I am really pleased with the way it has turned out. The many white metal parts are of good quality and as you can see, there is much detail, all included in the box.
At the time of writing, the closest she has got to the water is for her hull only sea trials where she performed well.

The cardboard box you see contains the many white metal parts to give some idea of any extra ballast required.
She is currently gathering dust in my garage whilst I impatiently await for some kind of normality to return.

    Thanks. My vessel will now be manned and ready for maiden voyage, hopefully within the next couple of months.

    I am rapidly approaching completion of build. Looking good. However, I have yet to find a crew of the correct scale. Have searched the net, without success. Any suggestions.

    Thanks Bill. Yes, I meant to mention that when I introduced the video, sorry.
    He is just having a 'quiet moment' between watches, away from all the hustle on the bridge.

    Hi Pete. Thank you. I must say, I am really pleased with the end result.
    As for the smokers (Graupner 6v units), I have just wired them up as per instructions.
