Adrieke Posted April 10, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 10, 2013 after some googling i found this one offered on the website of the maritime museum of San Diego they have 2 versions : advanced and medium difficulty i think this would be a great idea to try it out without it costing much all you need is some photo paper and some card stock Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmajor Posted April 15, 2013 Share #9 Posted April 15, 2013 Adrieke and Anja,Well spotted. I have downloaded a copy. I will get the grand children involved in this. The beauty is, if anything is messed up just print another sheet. If I understand the design correctly it can be done as a waterline or full hull model. Ian M. Quote Ian M.

Ulises Victoria Posted April 15, 2013 Share #10 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I downloaded the advanced version (obviously ) but pages 10 and 10R (sails) do not load. I get an error message. I re-downloaded a second time and same problem. I then loaded the beginners version hoping that the sails would be the same, but surprisingly, they are different. Anyone else with the same problem? Update. When double-clicking on them, there was another program trying to open my pdf.s Adobe does it right.

Adrieke Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted April 15, 2013 hello Ian yes i think you can do it as a waterline model but you have to figure out where to cut the hul sheets to the correct size Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmajor Posted April 16, 2013 Share #13 Posted April 16, 2013 Adrieke, If you look closely at sheets one and two all the hull components have separate upper and lower parts. My assumption is that in leaving the lower parts off you get the waterline version of the model. Again thanks for finding and highlighting this excellent item for us. Ian M. Quote Ian M.

Adrieke Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share #14 Posted April 16, 2013 hello Ian i was refering to sheets 5 and 6 the parts to cover the hull as far as i can see there are no indications where to cut if yo want a waterline version. and no worries happy to help ianmajor 1 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urb Posted June 17, 2013 Share #17 Posted June 17, 2013 I was red hot going to start the King of the Mississippi kit that I’ve had over about 20 years, but unusually for me I decided not to jump in feet first but to have a good read of everything on the site first to see if I could pick up tips from the forums, tutorials, and etcetera. What a mine of information (I have not built anything like this before). I saw the “Built a ship from card? Then discuss it here!” I thought what a sacrilege, paper on a sight like this with such beautiful wooden ships. Anyhow I had told myself I would read everything so on to the “San Salvador free paper model”. As Ian M. says “The beauty is, if anything is messed up just print another sheet.” Excellent, suddenly I felt the pressure released (my Mississippi is un-opened). So I have downloaded everything from that site, all the instructions and plans for both ‘basic’ and ‘advanced’, helpfully card thicknesses are in metric, good for us in the UK. I hope that the hints and tips given will give me a good start and some practical help to getting a start to eventually starting my Mississippi. I see Adrieke has started this build in ‘Kit Build Logs in Progress’ (thanks for the link) so I am looking forward to more tips. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmajor Posted June 17, 2013 Share #18 Posted June 17, 2013 Urb, Go for it! Why not start a build log yourself and raise the flag for Yorkshire? I think MSW would benefit from a more card build logs. Have you seen the Royal Caroline by Doris? If not look at http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/page-1 and prepare to have your mind blown. She demonstrates that card is no second class modeling medium. Another of my favourites is Revenge by Firdajan at http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2059-revenge-by-firdajan-shipyard-card-1577-196/page-1. Looking forward to your input. mtaylor 1 Quote Ian M. Current build: HMS Unicorn (1748) - Corel Kit Advice from my Grandfather to me.

goforit Posted August 23, 2013 Share #19 Posted August 23, 2013 Well, I thought I would work on something while my wood kits are being shipped and I saw this build. I like working with paper and this would be a good one to start. I think I'll start a build log and see how this turns out. I'll post something in the next few days to show. I need to find some stiff boards first. I printed both and I think I'll start the easier one first.

SgtSki in MI Posted November 18, 2014 Share #20 Posted November 18, 2014 Here's a link to a free paper model of the galleon "San Salvador" currently under construction at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. They have an advanced difficulty kit and an intermediate difficulty kit. When you go to the page, scroll down and you'll find the download links about 3/4 of the way down the page. Here's the link: http://www.sdmaritime.org/san-salvador-build/ Quote "Any officer can get by on his sergeant. To be a sergeant you really have to know your stuff.
