Tugboat

16.2k LordofLego  8.8 years ago

My Fishing Boat was very popular, so I have made another boat. This is sort of inspired by @Teus's Ol' Tugboat and sort of inspired by a few barges I saw on the Mississippi River a couple years ago. This is just a simple (hehehe) tug, no barge stuff yet. I will have an add-on kit later with some trailers and pushers. You can add your own stuff to it for now. I highlighted the available hardpoints in orange: a "trailer hitch" on the stern (free-swinging rotator) and a spot on the bow for a pusher. Action groups are:
1+VTOL: Rotates cockpit so you can look around the very detailed cabin.
2+ VTOL Down: Opens cabin door.
3+VTOL: Turns radar dish
4: Open for attachments
5+VTOL: Thrust Vectoring: Down for reverse, Up for boost. When ramming the USS Tiny, vector down just before impact.
6: detatches vertical stabilizer: emergency only

It was a real hassle to build and paint, so I hope you like it as much as I do. I will upload some barge pieces sometime next week. Enjoy! And I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEOLDCOLONEL COPIES THIS BOAT YOU DO NOT EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN

    @creepersude1047 check out how I did the propellor here. It's ugly, but it works.

    @AeroEngineering It would make them impractical for use in shallow water, but it was the only way I could keep it stable.

    I love the detail but I know tugs dont have rudders that big because I live in new Orleans.
