stowage chest aft of the smoke stack.
Glue with epoxy to set them securely.
13. Rail Stanchions
The rail stanchions fit into the holes you
drilled on the cabin top. After gluing, feed
the brass railing wire through the stan-
chions and touch with a little super glue.
14. Running Lights and Eagle
Make sure you have the lights painted
the correct color. Remember Port (like
wine) is red. The eagle is installed on the
pilot house front.
15. Name Boards and Lettering
You could name this boat anything you
like. TAURUS is Model Shipways name
for a typical tug. The name can be hand
painted, or you can use dry transfer let-
tering from an art store.
16. Side Fenders
On the real boats, fenders were made
from old railroad ties or sawed-off logs.
For the model, cut some twigs off your
favorite bush and stain them to look
weathered. These make nice realistic
fenders.Glue to the bulwarks and use
thread for the securing lines.
After all is done, look over your prize
and touch up paint if necessary. Make a
final check with the plan to see that you
have included all parts. Add the water
to your baseboard if you have not al-
ready done so.
