Ray Durant Posted December 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 20, 2022 Hi guys. Can anyone please help me to access building logs. I have just purchased a Shipyard card model from a store in France. I would really like to familiarize myself with the different techniques used to build these models. Cheers . Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted December 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2022 I'd start by going to the kit area and searching using "CARD" as the key word. Also set the search for "titles only". Also there is this area for discussion but no build logs: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/28-card-and-paper-models/ AJohnson, tkay11, BenD and 1 other 3 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted December 20, 2022 Share #3 Posted December 20, 2022 I've got Shipyards HMS Wolf on the shelf waiting. What one did you buy? @catopower is doing an in depth log of his HMS Wolf build. I've added the link below. You can find other shipyard kits if you type in "Shipyard" in the search bar.

Ray Durant Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted December 20, 2022 Hi Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. I bought the Papegojan, as it is a Dutch ship and i was born in Amsterdam. A little nostalgia 😀 BenD, AJohnson and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted December 20, 2022 Share #5 Posted December 20, 2022 We also have a card modeling tutorial based on a WW1 torpedoboat -- different, subject but same basic techniques. The guy who wrote it seems to have a rudimentary grasp of the subject. rcweir, AJohnson, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

amateur Posted December 20, 2022 Share #9 Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) I don’t know whether you already looked elsewhere, but the eastern half of Eirope is home to some very good builders. There are some very nice card-websites over there.

GrandpaPhil Posted December 20, 2022 Share #10 Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) The Shipyard kits are very nice. I bought one of the 30th Anniversary combo sets and started their Mercury. The level of detail is incredible. The laser cut frame that comes with the kits is fall together quality. From there, just take your time.
