Dan Vadas got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Yamaha MT-01 by Dan Vadas - CARD - FINISHED
The model is now finished. I made a simple stand from cedar and gave everything a couple of coats of clear gloss :
My next "real" model will be a WW2 tank made again from Card. While waiting for it I downloaded a fairly simple ship - a German Monitor named Mosel. A link to it can be found in my Signature.

Dan Vadas got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Mosel 1872 by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - Paper Shipwright - 1/250 - CARD - German Monitor
Hi all, here's a simple free download from Papershipwright of a German Monitor named Mosel. I'm building this while waiting for my next "real" model. It should only take me less than a week to build this one.
Work starts with the bottom of the hull. This is a Waterline model, which simplifies everything a lot . There are five tabs on either side in the almost straight midsection :
The internal bulkheads were fitted next :
Then the three decks were laminated to 0.3mm card and fitted to the hull :
Next the model was attached to a piece of heavy card as a "building board" using double-sided tape, and the sides were fitted. The support struts were rather flimsy until I glued a second piece inside them :
I've made the Turret "turnable" :
So far it's taken me 3 days to get to this stage.

Fitting the motor to the frame :
The airbox took a bit of tricky fitting, aligning the two pipes :
The exhaust system fitted rather well, although I had to cut one piece off and re-align it slightly. I started by gluing the two short pipes into the barrels :
The tank and seat had to be modified quite a bit before they'd fit properly. They both turned out OK :

Thanks Popeye.
The two crankcase side covers, footpegs and levers :
That's all the parts finished and glued into modules. All that's left now is to glue all the modules together .

The exhaust system. Some sections are glued together after fitting the first ones :
Finally, the seat :

Thanks David, Jan and Nils . Jan, I've seen the Ferraris before but I can't remember the site they can be bought from. Do you know what it is?
This is the front suspension, steering and handlebars. The top bracket has not yet been glued in, as it needs to go through a tube at the front of the frame to enable the steering to turn. I actually made a mistake with the previous bike, gluing it in this stage, and had to cut it apart again. Lesson learned :

You'll most likely lose a bit of paint when you bend them, but it can be touched up with a small paint brush when installed. Airbrushing them first would ensure you get coverage on all of it, as long as it won't affect gluing them together - CA won't stick very well to paint, or rather the paint would come off the brass.

Unfortunately I have two difficulties.
The first is that I have "senior" moments. Second I am an idiot. The two together can add to Lunacy
Thank you to all guys for being patient.
My posts of errors will continue.😱

Plenty of other pieces of desoration were added on the model and I decided to imitate treenails and iron bolts on planking.

The text for the Link (Ship's Name) in all new build logs in the Quick-Find Indexes is a different colour to the others that have been there a while. It's something to do with the spreadsheet I use, and it changes to the "normal" colour eventually. I don't know why, and it's no big deal.
The link works normally.
