The Shipyard ( Dry Dock ): Builds & Questions > Springer Tugs

First attempt at a scratch built boat

<< < (2/5) > >>

CarlC:
Bit more work on the tug today.


While the Superstructure is being filled and painted, I 3D printed some mooring bollards, painted the checkerboard green and built some deck accessories. More work on the superstructure tomorrow.

CarlC:
So the cabin/superstructure has been painted and fitted. No glazing in the windows as the cabin contains a siren, as the boat will double as the local club rescue boat as well. Flashing police lights are on order  {-) {-) {-) .


The superstructure is held in place with magnets, as are the oil drums and crate. The idea is that the boat can be reconfigured quickly with alternate superstructures and additional items.


I do need to tweak the ballast but other than that I think we are ready to go.

Martin (Admin):

Great Job!   :-))

CarlC:
Thank you, tomorrow we will see if/how she sails  {-)

CarlC:
Well, she didn't sink......

In fact, I am rather chuffed with how she performed.
