    Really good. What is her length? Cheers
  • lesliebreameChief Petty Officer 1st Class
    Hull is about 36" long and from ORION Mouldings[i think !!] its quite nice and shows all the rivets in good detail. We are at present making a Puffer 54" long and i am going to make the hull from soldered tinplate[ i hope !!! ] Les Breame

springer tug no 3
Well this is the 3rd version I have made of a springer tug.

Grp Hull and this time using 2 mm plastic.
Balsa wood and again what ever I could find laying around.

The decking is just printed paper and stuck down with Varnish.

Just needs some ballast and it is ready to go.

Number 2 attempt springer Tug
So this was attempt number two at a springer tug.. A little better than the very first one.

Again a home made grp hull and everything else Balsa wood and a few bits I could find about the house..

Well this one too has been scrapped and the hull reused.
Or set aside for another one at a later date.

So at this time is just a fitted out hull

1st ever Spinger tug model
Well this was the very first model boat i made.
A springer tug.
I made a mould and then made a few just in case i was to the point of everything going wrong at least I could start another one.

Apart from the home made GRP hull everything else was made in Balsa wood.

Since been scrapped but the hull and all the electrics ect have been reused again for another version..

    Something went wrong here? This applies to David's brilliant HMS Sussex video that I just watched !? 🤔 But this vid is neat as well, 'cool vibes' to go with it 👍

    She looks really nice. How long did she take you to complete? is she based on a fibreglass hull or are you working from scratch?
    Well done.

    As I am retired she only took about 10 months to build and is based on a "Models By Design" GRP hull. The rest of the model is scratch built. You can view her sea trials and more details on you tube.
