From the original to the model
They
are the small strong ships without which the huge freighters cannot get into
the harbour: Harbour tugs. Their versatility and power make them popular
replica objects for model builders time and again.
In
this book, harbour tug specialist Stefan Thienel describes the special features
of the great prototypes - and that is far more than just pure power. Among
other things, the special drive systems, and the sophisticated winches with
which the tugs are equipped to perform their tasks are described here in
detail.
The
construction of a modern harbour tug as a highly detailed model then rounds off
this book. The author guides the reader from the construction of the hull,
through the numerous details, to the ageing, so that the model acquires the
typical working ship character.
An
absolute standard work - not only for harbour tug fans!
