Btw the kit is dormant for a good part of last 6years... thing with paper is, it doesnt go brittle, since its not painted it wont loose colours... i like paper model building for the fact that you need almost no tools.
the qualityof paper used for laser cutting is, as Dan Vad would tell you very good.

A little sneak peak to what you can expect from the kit. It also contain a few tubes of acrylic paint, which i swapped for different brand. The glue supplied is horrendous. If i have known what kind of rubish it is, i would have ditched it a long time ago.

please, do not consider start into the hobby. by all means, dive head first. it is the best you can do. besides doing other kind of fun stuff... ship modeling calms me down more, than when i used to do d... naughty things.

well, i could say on my behalf, that its not easy, but also its not hard. i managed to build hull of the Le Coureur to relatively good standard, but poor choice of glue have prevented me from continuing it. one day i will take it apart and start over.
also, you have to be confident in doing your own paint job. kit is supplied on plain cardboard, all laser cut, you just have to assemble it and then paint it.
i would probably consider building something for the beginners first, as otherwise you are risking it turning into a quite costly fire-starting kit. that's meant to be when you fail, you start fire with it...
i don't mean to discourage you at all, just giving you a fair warning.

They have 1/72 and 1/96 kits. I know at least one of them is being offered in both versions. 1/96 are usually just plain card models, only formers and details are offered as an extra.
1/72 comes as a kit.
btw, im still waiting for shipyard to release their newest model... its been over a year since they released a sailing ship...

maaaslo got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in An asortment of card models
You have no idea... i have some like 100+ paper models. Most of them are gpm, modelik, i have the whole shipyard collection. Most famous german tanks and halftracks. I have sherman firefly. If you seem the kit, one of the most complicated on the market. I probably will never build it, but its a pleasure going through the pages... t34/76 from halinski. That model was their most advanced. So far have only seen it completed a handfull of times. It has lot more than 1000 parts.
none of you probably heard it, but during late 80s, early 90s, in former Czechoslovakia we had this magazine. Called ABC of young pioneers (in sense of you g comrades). They have released a continous stream of the architectural models and called it MPR. Stands for something like historical town centre heritage... was a whole town.
have a look:
i have a whole lot of those, plus a whole lot more different ones. My collection is nothing, comparing to some geeks i know...
they need cellars, i only need a bottom of the wardrobe with a few banana boxes.

Thanks Ron. I noticed that you have a Card model of SMS Hegoland in the offing - good luck with her . I trust you will be doing a Build Log ?
I've fitted the roof of the bridge. Some filler was needed on the seams. Here's how it looks before any cleaning up ...... MESSY :
I use a narrow chisel point Xacto to remove the bigger lumps, and then a wipe over with a Q-tip dipped in Acetone to smooth it. The Acetone will remove some of the printing if it's over-used, so care must be taken :
The final details to be fitted to the bridge were the PE Railings. Note the tightly bent ones around the two hatches. I drilled a hole for each leg and used thin CA wicked in with a cut-off needle to attach them. One of the few times I use CA .
The railings I've got are longer than the ones indicated on the model, so some modifications are needed. For example, the two straight railings on the roof are one section of "standard" railing with an extra leg inserted into the middle with CA :
And finally - a couple of pics of the finished Bridge after painting. It still needs a coat of Testor's Dullcote, which will make all the touch-ups virtually disappear :

Perhaps, i can only speak from my own experience. When i was finishing my carpentry studies, the old master gave us a piece of linden plank a d told us to carve something. I failed so miserably...
