  1. Did I remember correct that the deck maybe have a option of laser etched for the deck planks or you can go for individually planked? Also... the Inner bulwarks pre cut and etched.. that would take care of a few headaches! Pear on exterior planks.. wow.. that will give a nice finish.👍
  2. Chris: Is it going to be a single plank on bulkhead or double? I cant remember what you had done with your past kits...
  3. Chris: Thank you! For years the dummy gun/lower deck on kits has been my ultimate frustration. You dont know how refreshing this is! Looking forward in seeing more! And will have my credit card ready when the Surprise is ready for release! Mike Draper
  4. John: I really like how you captured the lip on the bow where the hull meets the deck. . A very distinctive characteristic of the Klondike.. Nice job!!! Keep the pics coming. Mike Draper
  5. Chuck: I can confirm for you that they are very big hills not mountains but I imagine you are enjoying fall colours right now... While up here in the Yukon with our 10.000ft mountains we are under a foot of snow.. enjoy that amazing view of your hills.. 🙂 MIKE
  6. Dusan: Thanks for providing a response.. I will have to reconsider the minwax product. It provides a amazing finish! Thanks again Mike Draper
  7. Dusan: Just out of curiousity, what was the finish you used on the hull and deck? I like the finish! Mike Draper
  8. Everyone: Here is the model of the paddlewheeler that can be found at the Sternwheeler hotel in Whitehorse. I suspect its 1/4 scale as there was no display label. I apologize for the reflection in the pics. I was using my cell phone to get a few quick pics. Enjoy Mike Draper
  9. Everyone: Glad I was able to help out getting the plans from Parks Canada. And the offer is open for any detail pics as the boat is just a 10 minute walk from my office. Keep the pics coming!~ It will great to see the progress on your scratch built! And I dont know if you know this but the SS Klondike that is down the street is the second version of her. The first one got stuck on a permanently stuck sand bar during her years of operation so instead of trying to save her there removed her engines and hardware and built a new SS Klondike that is now sitting in Whitehorse. As well, we had 3 paddlewheelers sitting in town for the longest time. the SS Kaska and SS Whitehorse but they were lost in the 1970s due to fire. Damn shame as they were beautiful paddlewheelers.

  10. Im pretty sure its still there. Now that I know someone wants pics I will check and if its there I will get a few pics for you. Either than overall shots do you have any detail pics you would like? I can also go down and get pics of the 1:1 model that is 3 blocks from my office 🙂 Mike Draper
  11. Chuck: Sign me up! I would buy some door handles for my Winny.. All it took is one look at your pics. Mike Draper
  12. John: Good.. I hadnt seen them hard copied so its nice to see the level of detail is there when they get printed.. It will be great to see your progress shots once you get under way. Mike Draper
  13. are those the plans that i got from Parks Canada for you or did you get them separately? they look great hardcopied! Mike Draper
  14. we will definitely have to connect. I will let you know what my schedule is once I bought my plane ticket and got plans figured out.. this is seriously cool MIKE
