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. king derelict, Canute, thibaultron and 5 others 8 Quote Current Build : FlyHawk HMS Hood 1941 1:700 Current Build (on hold): Amati Endeavor 1:80 Current Build (on hold): VEE HOBBY USS SOUTH DAKOTA 1:700 Current ReBuild (on hold): Le Superbe - 1784 1:60 Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35369-hms-agassiz-1941-by-johngr-finished-hmv-1250-card/ Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35301-soya-by-johngr-hasegawa-1350/ Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35037-celtic-voyager-by-johngr-paper-shipwright-1250-card/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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'). thibaultron, Canute and AJohnson 2 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

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 Canute, thibaultron and king derelict 3 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...
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.
