Thanks for the tips on the native canoes. I've been pondering how best to make some and your method sounds ideal.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197988102951501877.post-12161481417104808482010-08-26T19:04:25.114-07:002010-08-26T19:04:25.114-07:00AJ,

I painted them a nice dark brown.<br /><br />They were easy to make and serve very well for native attacks . . . and with the splayed sides, they "nest" inside each other for simple storage.<br /><br />To design the template, I simply put ten native figures down in the pattern above and traced around it. Worked like a charm. <br /><br />You might want to try it. They are not nearly as lovely and detailed as your launch, but they are very useful.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.com
