mela one with the Ewru and one other pic with the lighter











Next on the line is the paddle steamer tog boat Ancient...love it

Prosit Wigi looks very good

Beautifull Louis ... just beautifull...

Prosit Louis,

Brilliant work Habib. Now we want to see the paddle steamer tug.

Note that the paddle steamer tug is longer than the one you have made.

Ejja Master, lets have the diorama ready for the show.

Cheers.

Lou

I think you should contact our dear friend Mr Liam Gauci, curator of Maritime Museum, surely in their archives they have plans/fotos of these interesting gems? He'll be more then happy to help ...

Ivan

This is the ancient basic hull

lenght 149 feet

Prosit David Can't wait to start this little Gem as Cocru said....I'm really thinking about it ... ...starting a collection of these beautiful vessels...
But once I finish this project...I have to start the Ohio project before I get too old lol lol and that will include some tugs as well...David your asistance is kindly solicited

That what friends and clubmates are for, prosit David, excellent co-operation!

Next in-line should be id-dghajes tal-pass Nan, I recommend you go down to Cottonera waterfront and get some references and colours used, as that area they are specific in colour coding [reflects the city they are from, reds for Birgu, Red/Yellow for Isla, Light Blue n White Cospicua and Green Kalkara ... nowadays you see this used for regatta perpose] : )

Ivan

Noted Cocru....don't know how I'm gonna paint those colours on a boat 1/2 a cm long

What you need to keep in mind is the way how these are rowed normally standing up, like a Veneitian gondolier ...

Now that's a cute little thing. Great work ja nannu xih

Steve

You are truly awesome nan. How do you manage to put in all that minute detail? If it weren't for the EWRU, i would have imagined it to be at least 4 or 5 times that size. The level of detail is amazing. Very kbir int nan!!!

very nice job nannu !!

Mela...now we start works on the breakwater....again !...
