Random Picture Thread

LOL, that wasn't serious Hoyt Mostly some illiterate expert likes to put tags on things they have no clue about.

The UK is sinking currently, so if I ever post a picture of their flag I'll name it 'sinking England flag' Oh it's true. The UK is sinking while Scotland is rising. Aparently the uk is going tropical too, so can you just imagine those humourless stiff upper lippers doing the hoola dance

Not to mention the price of time share in Scotland

 

Some okes cannot communicate without dragging **** into everything.
Mind you I have the same problem

 

I don't know but it's old.

Looked it up. 1853.

 

Well, I suppose Audrey may have been Irish... Find the book someday, BTW.

 

An Irish lass with a name like Audrey? Unheard of!

 

Audrey is an old English name from the 6th century. English princess named Audrey also known as Ethelreda.

And here's what they look like afterwords...



I think some of the miniature tugs are in fact working log boats.

 

reminds me of the Shriners and there little cars

right down to the guy about to be stuck as the tides coming up just in front of the sea wall in that last pict.

 

Wind up key. Nice touch.

 

Curious Question

I'm curious about the ballast in one of those little tuggers.
how and how much?

I use to know I modeler who build incredibly detailed small scale Tugs.
I forget the exact scale but 2 - 4' in length.
He showed me once how he used cut pieces of railway ties in the bottom for ballast. There were really very heavy for there size.

 

More micro tugs. Must be something going around ... these pics taken in Ottawa, Canada.
