OMG. Better than I expected.
Still encased in some sort of wax used during production with a cent piece for size comparision:
The tug is made out of transparent resin which makes it quite difficult to photograph:
Quick résumé:
- Awesome first attempt, overall success (IMO)
- Difficult to clean and remove the wax
- Not every detail could be reproduced (handrails, free standing beacons, etc.). Expected it, so no big problem. At least I know what's technically feasible now.
Will give it a coat of white now.
What do you guys think?
Expecting some feedback. Critics are welcome!

I think you have a success on your hands!
I think you want to give it a light spray coat of matte white and re-photograph it again. Once you have figured out how you want to proceed, then I guess it is time to set up pre-orders for manufacturing, eh?
As an ex-modeller from years back, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt I'd be happy with a few of those just as they are. Basically, 'I could take it from here', sort of thing. I can't speak for others though.
Are you planning to offer a fully painted and finished item? Honestly, I like what I see and if that was offered online somewhere, I'd buy a few as is. That is my feedback.
