Johngr Posted August 16, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2023 I started the project in the middle of another one and due to limited space I wanted to not have sandpapering and etc for a while. The kit is excellent and very cheap to start with paper models although not the easiest perhaps. In the photo below, the first 26 steps have been completed. In step 27 the mast base and radar platform was cut and glued in place. Next the anchors and breakwater was cut and glued in place. Assembled and glued in place the the escape two hatches Finally for today I prepared and double glued the pieces for the steps 32-23. To keep them straight I placed them under a heavy 2" angle plate.

ccoyle Posted August 16, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2023 If you'll look at post #5 in this thread, I discuss a technique I use to help straighten out the seams between deck structures and the deck, or between the structure and its roof. I have built four of David's designs. Each is a little jewel (although some are by no means 'little').

AJohnson Posted August 16, 2023 Share #3 Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Hi John, Nice to see another Paper Shipwright card model on the go, I'm a few weeks into one as well. Yours is looking very nice. Chris is our resident Card Ninja ⚔️ loads of good tips to be stolen and miserably implemented on my part at least! For instance look at the steering wheel on the thread he has linked 😱 I have just tried that this evening and my wheel looks like a Daisy some kid has been plucking the petals from! Looking forward to seeing your "Voyager" progress. 😁 Edited August 16, 2023 by AJohnson thibaultron, king derelict and Canute 3 Quote Andrew Current builds:- HM Gun-brig Sparkler - Vanguard (1/64) , HMAV Bounty - Caldercraft (1/64) Completed (Kits):- Vanguard Models (1/64) :- HM Cutter Trial , Nisha - Brixham trawler Caldercraft (1/64) :- HMS Orestes(Mars), HM Cutter Sherbourne Paper Shipwright (1/250) :- TSS Earnslaw, Puffer Starlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngr Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Next step are the assembly of the two net winch. I used a punching tool for cutting the circular shapes. I also preferred to cut from a metal pipe for these tubes. Here are all the parts for the assembly of net winch and the final result. I'm sure I made some mistakes in the assembly instead. I hope David will forgive me! Next i decide to paint the edges as the place where they will be placed does not allow them to be painted afterwards. I will paint the edges of the rest of the ship at a later stage. and glued in place.
