3D model description

This is a variant on the 28mm log canoe I published recently. It's in sections so you can make canoes as long (or short) as you need. They fit together with OpenLock clips; if you want to assemble them permanently, it's worth running a bead of putty or green stuff along the cracks before painting (but I like the flexibility of being able to dismantle and reassemble them as needed).

There are a few files here, which can be made into 4 types of canoe;

Large full hull
Large waterline
Small full hull
Small waterline

For each canoe type, there is a bow, a mid section, and two types of stern.

Each canoe consists of a bow, a stern, and as many or few mid sections as you want. Or you can make a double-prowed boat by using two bow pieces and no stern.

They also all have an alternative stern with a transom. In the bronze age boats from Must Farm that these canoes are loosely based on, several of the examples excavated had an open back to the log hull with a slot for a board to act as a transom (I think only one of them had the actual transom board in place, but that's still not bad for something that's been sitting in a bog for about 3000 years !)

3D printing settings

Best printed with a brim and supports to the baseplate. I printed my test ones at 0.1mm resolution, but you could probably get away with 0.2mm if you want a quicker print. When I printed my test ones, my printer had a slight over-extrusion problem, but actually that seems to have made for a more realistic appearance !
