Über dieses Boot

This is my fourth Springer tug. It was built to resemble the U.S. Army's Corps of Engineers stoplog tug located at Little Goose Dam in Washington State. The scale is about 1/17. The model had to be modified slightly because the length to beam ratio between the real tug and a Springer are slightly different. This keeps the model within the Springer class rules.

    Liberty Captain, I happen to come across your post and noticed the question was posed to me. Sorry I missed it.

    I built four Zippkits Springers and did the same hull finish for each. Sanded, coated with spar varnish (brushed on) filled voids with Testors model filler (JB Weld, or others should work), sanded, filled, varnished again until finish was acceptable. Sprayed on paint, usually Rustoleum (sometimes Walmart brand). For hulls and decks I go with the standard hardware store spray paints, no need to go expensive. Protects the hull just fine!

    Hope this helps.

    I am currently building a Springer Zippkit, I used two part finishing epoxy for a seal coat. I am not happy with the product it left a heavy orange peel coating that is difficult to make smooth. Your project looks great, what did you use for a seal coat?
