Looking for card model of a Thames River Barge


Recommended Posts

Hi John,

Not sure if this will meet your needs as it's not card, but Sarikhobbies in the UK produce 00 scale sailing barge kit. It's the only model of this type of craft that I have found that's not 1:48 or 1:67 scale. They also have several plan sets for sailing barges that you might be able to use. The Thames Sailing Barge Trust is another source for scale drawings.

Here is a link (hopefully!) to Sariks ....

They do sell through their ebay shop I believe, but I've always gone through their .com site. I too have spent some time researching this topic, sailing barges being a favourite of mine. I was hoping to find something scaled at 1.64 but have had to resort to draughting  my own.

Cheers,

Graham

Graham, Jzn, Bill ...

Thank you for the info and I would like to apologize for the delay in acknowledging it. 

I have one of the MicroModel kits due in. 

I have seen both the Sarik & Billings kits, but I have enough un-built wood around here as is.

Again, thank you for your replies !

Very late to this post but would the following be of any use? https://www.kallboys.de/mondorfer-bastelboegen?start=60 . I'm not familiar with river barges but the Aalschokker Maria Theresia looks similar to my unpracticed eye.
