Hi everybody!!
I'm Ahmad, and I'm beyond ecstatic to finally reveal #TheTugsProject to everyone! This project was the culmination of one years worth of talented people's hard work, who I am delighted to give the spotlight to. Meet the art, & the artists!

The spooky season has arrived! If you need me, I'll be chilling in the backrooms.
The back room with the Tugs models, that is.
Full res file available in our #TheTugsProject drive link in bio! ⚓️💙
It's almost spooky Halloween time, does anyone know how I can mangle my proportions to pull off this costume?
Here's a fun lil shot of Philbert, brand spanking new and yet already covered in dust. Mood.
Full res available in our drive folder linked in bio! #TheTugsProject ⚓️💙
These shots are from Sunshine during the Duchess' docking. The Fultan Ferry has tucked itself safely to the side, but Fire Tug seems to keep switching sides depending on the shot. Perhaps he can teleport? Stranger things have happened. Full res in our #TheTUGSProject drive!⚓️💙
Feeling awfully under the weather today. Fittingly, here are some Quarantine shots! The deleted scene between Top Hat and Warrior has become a fan favorite. No clue how those cars got on the roof though. My sick brain just accepts it. Full res in our drive link. I need a nap.💙⚓️
There are some nefarious characters lurking around lately, snatching up what doesn't belong to them. Do you recognize them? Here are the Z-Stacks trying and failing multiple times to secure a load of timber in Regatta. Full resolution files are in our #TheTugsProject drive! ⚓️💙

Lastly, a stunning overhead shot of Lucky's Yard featuring a nearly complete diesel tug hull. It's interesting they have a front fender ready when the rest of the tug isn't built yet! Mad lad Lucky has many other interesting objects scattered around his yard. #TheTugsProject💙⚓️

The website which IS called Twitter can't handle more than one #TheTugsProject shot at a time! Ironically, it's amazing how much is going on in this small area, and how much mileage the crew got out of it. What is really just one corner feels like miles of dockside! 🧵
Here are some shots from the filming of Jinxed showing a very cluttered Ballantines area! Lots of fun details to pick out here, in particular what appears to be a focusing card attached and extended in front of the periscope lens. More below🧵 #TheTugsProject

These shots have been a long time coming. They were shown in an unfinished state all the way back in 2021, at the end of Unlucky Tug's extensive tugs retrospective which first revealed us to the world. I crudely edited them into a 2.5D animation, posted here in full quality.
Here are 2 great photos from the filming of 'Trapped.' Many tugs can be seen with their superstructures removed and placed on shore to avoid being swamped or trampled. Billy's iconic departure back to his real work can be seen on the focus puller's monitor. #TheTUGSProject ⚓️💙

These storage room photos with all the models are always some of our favorites. The vibes are simply impeccable. These particular shots feature a clear look at that mysterious white pilot boat.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give some insight as to where on earth we've been. Long story short, we needed a break. But it's plain to see that way too much time has passed without any communication. So here's the deal:
We took a break, and I think everyone can agree it's gotten way out of control and gone on long enough.
Our lives are now very different, and things won't be quite the same, but we are back to finish what we started.

Spooky season is here! What better way to start the month than with the grim reapers Burke and Blair!
We recently unearthed this incredibly rare Japanese postcard from QUARANTINE, and we just had to share it with all of you. What are your Halloween plans?
