Martin,
How about a springer gallery of all the different springers that have been built, along with the name of the builder?

Good idea, a Springer Register. "Standard" and "Super Springer". O0
-
This is my Springer. She was meant to be the The Fire Springer but after it's first 3 or 4 outings,
she's now named - Springer Leak! >:(
-
Here are my two,
superspringer first, then standard (with a kort fitted O0)
Ian

My two are,on the left is Gazover and the Chopper is scratchbuilt around the windscreen which was plastic packaging.The rotors work via a micro switch switched on with the throw of the rudder arm.
The other tug is Gazunder (Gerry Springer! ),both Tugs wheelhouses are made from Ferero Rochere chocolate containers,the material is compatable with Styrene and uses the same Solvent.

Would this not be better if it was thumbnails that can be clicked on to enlarge so we dont use a lot posts for each pic ? Police Gazette style or for our trans-Atlantic friends the Post Office "Most Wanted" posters. Just to add to the list, a working camera boat(note the temoporary trim ,2 screw-drivers). How about it Ghosty, time you got some on-the-water shots !
-
Right here she is the one I should never have built it has cost a fortune since, and almost went over due to the amount of water she ships. But actually is rather fun. O0

Any thoughts on thumbnails for this Gallery ?
-
A couple or two still to come :embarrassed:
-
I think a page of thumnails as you suggest, Arrow, is a good ide. If anyone see one they are particularly interested in, click it, opens in a new page with details.
What you think Martin?

Very good innit ! O0 Does the sub deploy ? It looks like a lot of the things that come up to Loch Ness in the hope of finding Nessie every so often. Even Ballard came once. Original Pisces been too. There was even a tour-submarine for a season, pricey.

Hi, no unfortuantly the sub does not deploy from the springer, but it does work.
The sub was a fathers day gift ( although I did choose it myself, £9.89 from Tesco's)
It works really well to actually submerges, by means of an expanding chamber
( I think). We dont tend to see the Loch Ness monster down here in Cambridgeshire, but Oliver the search srpinger and the mini-sub are on standby. ;)

Not too good going astern then !!!!!!
-
...you mean ahead, ehm :-\ ahead /astern :( I mean backways forward :embarrassed: ...or ehm ..uhm.......... THIS VESSEL NEEDS A SIGN ON IT TO SAY "FRONT" at the front(STERN) and another at the STERN not the front(BACK-END) bow. I hope this clarifies matters.

No Arrow, you are right, the deck actually is on the right way round (Backwards) as this is a Regnirps class... and yes, the knees are where the props are... at the stern, which is actually the bow.... where the props will be.
Seeing as how this Regnirps will be going backwards, ie 'forwards', with the knees at the stern (now the bow) thats why its become known as 'WW' or Douglas Corrigan to give it its proper name.
Does that make it clear? O0

......Hi Guys.....
....Ralph...
I think you should call this tug or gut or whatever way rounda kinda boat that it is
" Number 69 "... All in the nicest possible taste, Of Course...
I was going to ask " Where,s the toilet" But I,ll wait until we know what end is what before asking...
Its a cracker of a boat whatever way round it is...Well Done Ralph...
I think I.ll need to get the mould out again & make myself a GRP hull or two...
...All The Best...Norry & Wee Johnny...
-
Should have been called "Ascender". O0 Wonder what colour the navigation lights are...green/green, red/green, red/red, green/red, ultra-violet/infra-red to overpower the Day-glo paint ? :kiss: Good idea for more `glass hulls Norry, a bit lighter this time maybe ?
-
Not legal but a stretched Springalong. Vintage aircraft catapult ship. 2 x 540s. "Workboat" superstructure, toy crane girders, alloy oval funnel. A work-in-progress job ( I got fed up with it !)
-
"Sprinkler"top now has it`s own hull after sharing with "The Maid".
-
...and some good examples from the Czech Republic.
-
..and my favourite Czech mate, a Clyde "Puffer" Springer ! All the above from the excellent www.mo-na-ko.net site, lots of tug-towing there as well as general boat modelling. Language problem though, only in Czech.
-
...and this is "Colapesce" an italian springer ;)

Hi Rathikrishna,
These are all based on a Springer Pusher Tug Hull, there is a Plan for the Hull on this Forum somewhere, perhaps some kind person could point you in the right direction for it.
I love your boats.
Len.

These links should help you.

Hi out there,
I'd like to throw my springer in the mix. Hull is made of Lexan polycarbonate plastic and styrene. Pilot house and all of the fittings came from the spare parts box :-). Inside there is a Robbe diesel engine chip and a horn.

Does this one qualify,
Nick

Yes of course, just wanted it to be a woodie, mahogany planked deck, varnished with twenty coats of copal varnish, three days drying `tween coats and all that, polished brass or stainless steel burnished fittings (chrome if it was a Yank). Does your daughter know one of her Barby-dolls has been press-ganged? {-)

Hope you haven't been running Barbie in the Brisbane River this week

What happened to all the noisey smelly things you used to play with??????

My first ever springer, the superstructure is no more due to a shed malfunction. The hull is being re-incarnated hopefully in time for Wicksteed.

Needs a flashing light, good nose down attitude, always a good sign, should do well {-) Where are you going to put the scale of charges board ? {-)

About time I put couple of pictures of mine on this thread. Based on bargain Models By Design hull, with their pushers and Kort. Wheelhouse etc my own design. The spring-loaded gantry off my seldom used Paula 3 with working winch makes her a brilliant rescue boat as well as lots of fun, she always comes to the lake and is on standby! Dave. :-))
