I am using plans downloaded from Parks Canada to scratch build the SS Klondike a Yukon River Stern Wheeler.

The SS Klondike is currently under restoration by Parks Canada in White Horse Yukon Territory.

My original build log to this point has been lost with the MSW site. I will be rebuilding my log here from photos taken.

Cheers
 
I began this project in Feb 2024. Below is a pictorial history of the journey to date. This is my first scratch build. The journey has stretched my modeling skills, in a good way.

All metal parts are sourced primarily from eBay and Bluejacket. The unique dual winch had to be scratch built from two Blujacket windless metal parts.

That catches you all up on my build to date I will post my progress here as I have updates.

Cheers
