Thumbs up Re: 1/200 Goldhofer AST-1 X Towbarless Tug - Shapeways Custom

That's a nice job on that tug! Better than 'OK', IMHO. Even more so after a 20 year hiatus.

Pity it always seems to be so difficult to find a decent supply of well-detailed tugs. They are either in kit form, or simply non-existent in ready-made form, be it diecast or resin.

A couple of years back I had the good fortune to be able to test-build a resin kit for a member here. Of the few kits I've built after my 40 year hiatus, I thought this was going to be a breeze. Gawd, this little 6 piece kit really gave me a run for my money when it came to application of the decals. A very nice challenge indeed, but a diecast or resin finished model would have been a run-away success here if nicely detailed with spectacular stencil detail like the decals that came with mine. Maybe someday some manufacturer will see the obvious light.
