Good Day All
This will be my build log for scale 16 foot Peterborough high end Champlain canoe. The Peterborough Canoe Co. was a prominent builder in Ontario Canada having numerous models. The Champlain; high and low end were introduced in 1932. High and low end refers to the height of the canoe stem and stern.
The build will be at a scale of 1:12 or 1 inch equals 12”. Since there are no model drawings I had to develop my own. Was able to locate a lines drawing on the internet; which I downloaded to Acad. After tracing the lines in Acad I was able to develop the moulds. These were then printed and glued to mould stock; in this case 1/8” balsa. Per Gilles manual these were then mounted on the building board.
The model will be made of Basswood and painted. Photos show work to date.
