EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share #32 Posted January 15, 2022 I found a cheap set of paper embossing tools useful to make the funnels. I also found small drill bits (which every modeler has) to be useful for rolling cylinders.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share #36 Posted January 25, 2022 After too much time trying roll paper masts, calling this experiment done! This paper has a tendency to delaminate. I used that to my advantage and I peeled the backs off of the masts before rolling them. And rolled them with needle as a core. I’m punting on the rigging shown on the cover photo (it isn’t covered in the instructions either). I used 32 gauge craft wire for the solo bit of rigging I did do. ccoyle, yvesvidal, GrandpaPhil and 14 others 17 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your comment and for your energy and flag-waving for card models. I wouldn't have tried my hand if it wasn't for you! It came out better than I expected it would (especially given it is my first card model as well.) For everyone else, come on in the pool. The water is fine. (Ignore my blue lips and shivering!)

I want to finish my other build first. Card models have such a wider selection than wood or plastic, so I don't have a next in mind. @Dan Vadas built a beautiful train engine that caught my eye, but I need to figure out a bit of the paper-model skills - rolling, seams, not reducing little paper boxes to round-ish blobs of paper, etc. before I tackle something like that. ccoyle, Old Collingwood, bruce d and 1 other 4 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
