AJohnson Posted May 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 3, 2022 Evening All, Starting a build log for something new to me, a card model! I have been inspired by the logs on MSW of various people turning humble card and paper into masterpieces - not least Chris Coyle and his many tutorials on how to get started - I will be following these for my builds for sure. 👍 I bought a couple of kits from Paper Shipwright, a Clyde Puffer and this Lighthouse, I'm glad I did as I opened the packaging for the Puffer and nearly fell off my chair, there are just loads of tiny pieces to cut out and laminate. So very quickly decided a lighthouse with a square base building might be the better option for my first model. Baby steps and all that... So what I received today was An introduction sheet with a little history of Flamborough Head Lighthouse and general instructions on how to proceed and key symbols to look for in the instructions. The instructions themselves form the next sheet accompanied with two labelled diagrams showing the parts. Finally the two A4 sized card sheets with all the parts on that need cutting out. First step was to seal the sheets with fixative as recommended by Chris in his tutorials, but my can is fairly old and splatters a bit, so I have paused this until I get a fresh can. I did a tiny test area and the fixative does darken the colours slightly, so I do need to do this before I can look at trying to match these colours with paint on the various edges that are going to need it. I did manage to cut out and glue part No.1 (the ground plan) onto some 5mm thick dense fibreboard as my base and painted the edges white. So I will leave things there until I can 'fix' my sheets. Until next time!

amateur Posted May 4, 2022 Share #6 Posted May 4, 2022 Although a lighthouse does not claasify as ‘non-shipping related’ Papershipwrihgt does have nice kits with loads of tiny parts. I’m trying to do one of the free downloads. Advantage of downloads: everything eaten by the carpet-monster can be reprinted.

AJohnson Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) The build has commenced! As mentioned at the start I had cut out the base board and glued it onto some dense fibre board and cut this to size and painted the perimeter border white. My new fixative spray arrived earlier today, so everything was given a coat to help protect the printing. I did some easy laminating first; some parts (like the tower gallery bases need to be thicker than the rest of the parts so you need to score a fold line and glue them together first. These have been left to dry flattened between some heavy books. Others building card models have recommended Canopy glue and it does seem to work very well - almost too well in fact, it grabs very quickly! I very quickly decided I need to pinch one of my daughters homework folders to keep everything safe and flat, away from accidental spillages and the like, as card doesn't clean up so easily as plastic when you spill your tea/coffee/beer... plus it helped me to organise the instructions and parts into the "Tower of Doom" and the Keeper's house. First stage is to assemble the main tower, but first there is the 'option' to use some windows to provide some 3D relief rather than just the printed windows on the outside of the tower. There are optional windows provided to do this if you wish. Looking at this I thought why stop at recessed windows? So I set to make my own Lintels and Sills for the windows, by cutting out little strips from the same card, gluing these on in the position of the printed versions. (Fortunately remembering to log on the reverse the location of actual windows and 'blanks' - a rarity for me the think of such things in advance!) At the end of that process there where some faint remains of the printed black lines I didn't want to see, so I painted the outside in Acrylic white. I finished off the session with attaching the hidden fixing strips and cutting out the saw-tooth tabs ready for assembling the tower, but I will leave that for the next session when everything is dry.

AJohnson Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share #13 Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Moved on to the Keeper's dwellings. Firstly as with the tower I cut out the printed windows and glued in the optional recessed windows. These still need to be painted white at the edges and have window sills added and this time painted green. I will do this at a later stage as there is also a green plinth around the whole perimeter of the building. Also scored the folding edges before cutting the walls out. The instructions get you to the rear part of the dwellings first part #22 (nearest the tower) as this part has two internal extensions that help reinforce the front part of the building. This all went fairly straightforwardly, with the exception of the two small (and very tricky - for me that is) porch extensions and small flat roofs. I've made a bit of a 🐷's ear of these, but the glue stuck so well and quickly, trying to readjust them made some sections of the card delaminate and others tore. 😖 Deep breath and carry on - this is my first card kit and so not expecting it to be a looker! 😆 Final part for this session was adding the roof to give the whole assembly some rigidity. The fiddly part of this was the roof capping part #25. This was very thin and needed pre-painting along the cut edges to match the pale grey. If I could do this again, I would not have tried to keeping the whole part in one piece, as it was difficult to keep in shape, so cutting it into two or three sections might have made things easier - another lesson learned. 👍 Edited May 10, 2022 by AJohnson Egilman, Canute, Captain Slog and 10 others 13 Quote Andrew Current builds:- HM Cutter Trial - Vanguard models (1/64), HMAV Bounty - Caldercraft (1/64), Hawker-Typhoon-1b-"Car-Door" - Airfix (1/24) Completed (Ship):- "Nisha" - Vanguard Models (1/64), HMS Orestes (Mars) - Caldercraft (1/64), HM Cutter Sherbourne - Caldercraft (1/64), TSS Earnslaw - Paper Shipwright (1/250), Puffer "Starlight" - Paper Shipwright (1/250) Completed (Non-Ship):-Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C - Airfix (1/48), Bristol Beaufort - Airfix (1/72), Mosquito B.XVI - Airfix (1/72), , Sea-Harrier-FRS1 - Airfix (1/72), Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat - Airfix (1/24), De Havilland Chipmunk T.10 - Airfix (1/48), Flamborough Head Lighthouse - Paper Shipwright (1/250) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJohnson Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share #16 Posted May 18, 2022 Evening All, This update has taken a little while as I have found the process of rolling card into tubes a bit of a challenge! 😣 The main tower is together now and attached to the Keeper's house, the recessed optional windows made it difficult to get a nice curve as the backing card to the windows would not bend as easily, so the tower is not quite the sweeping curve of architectural beauty it would otherwise have been... 😆 oh well, onwards! I get the feeling card modellers are glutens for punishment, if the fiddly next stages are anything to go by. Four chimney pots about 8mm high and 4mm square, topped with a rolled tube for the stack; I rolled these around a pin to curve them. I'm now on with making handrailing out of glued thread on the provided template. Following Chris's hints and tips closely. I will keep you all posted on how that goes.

AJohnson Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share #20 Posted May 24, 2022 Finishing touches on my first dabble in the Card model world. I made the lattice lantern windows using the kit template and glued thread, fiendishly difficult to bend into a tube, but it sort of went into shape. Glazed with some thin clear sheet, topped off with a tiny weather vane. This little model now has a spot in our nautical themed Summerhouse, as approved by the Admiral. Finally a picture of the real thing taken on holiday a few years ago. Thanks for the likes and follows on this first trip down the card "rabbit hole" I have another to do, but first I better get back to my neglected "Nisha"!

king derelict Posted May 24, 2022 Share #29 Posted May 24, 2022 It looks terrific. The lantern windows came out really well in spite of looking difficult to achieve a tidy result. You have placed it in a great location and should be very happy. Alan Egilman, mtaylor, Old Collingwood and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
