I've been busy clearing out other project from my garage in an attempt to make space for my new project. While the space is slowly being found, I'd like to build a scale model of the canoe that I want. How hard it is to scale the plans down or are there already scaled down measurements on the plans? Would balsa would be suitable for a model or is another wood recommended? If so, what type of wood? The reason I asked about balsa is I can get it fairly cheap and in size suitable to build large model aircraft, which I would think, would work for model canoes. Thanks!
I was thinking around 1/10 scale. Nothing over 2 feet. Just something to give me an idea of what I'll be doing on the real thing. That way if I mess up building the model, I'm not ruining expensive wood and wasting epoxy.
