Tonight I built a rack to hold canoes. The town of Whitney on the east side of Algonquin Park is the last stop for campers to rent a canoe before entering the park. While my version of Whitney is freelanced I am trying to give it the look and feel of a North Ontario small town. Pretty much every town in the north has somewhere to rent canoes and purchase fishing bait and tackle. Whitney on the Algonquin has "Jim's Bait and Tackle" (named after my Dad.) To construct the rack, I used scale 4x4's and 2x4's and stained it with Hunterline Cordovan Brown. The canoes are from Sylvan Scale Models and come 3 to a pack. They need another coat of paint and I may pick up another package to fill out the rack. The ice would still be on the lakes, in the park during early April, so it is unlikely that many canoes would be rented at this time.
I also put together a package of Flange Way signs from Osborn Model Kits. The kit comes with printed labels for the sign face making these an easy 1 hour project. I decided to use the CP prototype labels with the white face and black dots. The kit also comes with the CN version that has the black face and white dots.
