Here are a couple of Harbour tugs that are stationed in Portsmouth Harbour, UK. I had no idea that the Royal Maritime Auxiliary Service was disbanded in 2008. The tugs are now run by the company Serco Denholm, hence the SD prefix.

SD Bountiful and SD Bustler

Great work! This looks like a beginning of a very interesting thread.

Good work Charybdis, nice to see some of the smaller naval craft represented. Shame about the RMAS being disbanded. That company Serco seems to have it's grubby little fingers in every pie lately.

Thanks guys.

Here's a toy for the bath tub...

Great work, these are very well drawn and are interesting little tugboats. Again, its nice to see the 'backroom' vessels that keep navies afloat and operating.

Thank you. I was inspired after coming across Portsmouth Bill's excellent rmas director.

Nice, but you should really give the Voidt-Schneider prop on the Bustler an outline. Right now it looks sorta blurry compared to the rest of the drawing.

Very nice drawings, and a real gem of a thread. Expectantly waiting for more.
