themadchemist Posted April 4, 2013 Share #31 Posted April 4, 2013 Andy, interesting facts on the naming. Peterborough to Peterboro to save space, LOL. I've always found the oddities in language fascinating. For example color vs colour, I use to drive teachers nuts spelling everything the Brit' way. Or the pronounciation of schedule or clerk in US vs UK. Thanks for the added info, your a wealth of knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted April 4, 2013 Share #32 Posted April 4, 2013 Nice work on the canoe, Sarah. The tung oil really finished it off perfectly.

slagoon Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted April 5, 2013 Augie thank you Chuck, it was a great model to take a break with! John - thanks Michael Thanks Keith - the Harriet is actually longer by probably 6 inches. I'll try to get a comparison up tonight. I don't know about the kayak, it doesn't look nearly as fun...you can see the instructions on the Midwest website. Andy, awesome info on the spelling - I kept trying to spell it with the borough, but I kept having to go back and correct myself! There was no decal, and now that I've oiled it I don't know how well a decal would adhere to it. Jared - you always make me blush Buck - thanks. I will have to try your french polish on something soon though Mark, thanks - I'm super glad that I used the tung oil. Thank you Amazon.com! hehehe Quote ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Sarah Current Build: Krabbenkutter CUX-87 Harriet Lane Fishcutter GO-38 In the Wings: Corel Victory Cross section Completed Build: USS Missouri HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat Peterboro Canoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagoon Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share #34 Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks! I promised a comparison of size between the Harriet lane and the canoe. I can't believe it but their hulls are essentially the same size. Scale is a crazy crazy thing!

tkay11 Posted April 5, 2013 Share #35 Posted April 5, 2013 Very interesting to see another method of making an open boat. I'll be following this with as much interest as your other builds. It's great to have so much enthusiasm that your fingers are always itchy.!

themadchemist Posted April 5, 2013 Share #36 Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks for the comparison pic's Sarah. I figured they were about the same length, hull-wise at least. HL is a bit longer with the bowsprit of course. But then with the canoes 1:12 scale compared to the HL's scale, if the HL were 1:12 you'd need a much larger room to build her. Takes seeing them like this to really understand scale. Like that HUGE penny you use . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnharv2 Posted April 5, 2013 Share #37 Posted April 5, 2013 So, let's see. The canoe is 1:12, the HL is 1:144. Does that mean that the HL is 1:12 scale for the people in the canoe? Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trippwj Posted April 6, 2013 Share #39 Posted April 6, 2013 Bet it felt very strange working on those massive timbers for the canoe! It came out very well!

slagoon Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted April 7, 2013 Wayne, thanks it did feel great to get it done. Sjors, what did you miss? Yep after I made an oopsie on my Harriet I felt a little bummed out, sad, so now I feel better.

slagoon Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share #43 Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks Tony, it was REALLY fun. I'm saving the pieces for the frame and will do another sometime, maybe with some more exotic wood!

aandersen Posted November 27, 2019 Share #45 Posted November 27, 2019 Anyone able to share the plans/instructions for this build? I just bought a kit from someone online and it’s missing the documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman42 Posted October 29 Share #46 Posted October 29 I actually had a real one of these in the 60,s most peterbough canoes were canvas covered. I made the mistake of removing the canvas and refinish it with a clear coat. Probably a bad idea, should have left it as it was. I have to say this kit is identical to the real one except for the canvas yvesvidal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
