flying_dutchman2 Posted March 2, 2014 #1 Posted March 2, 2014 Here are 2 sites I have had in my favorite folder. (you may already know about these). http://www.cardfaq.org/faq/freeb.html http://www.paper-replika.com/ (dead link) The only card model I have ever done was a clock kit that was from a Canadian manufacturer. It worked but it was slow. Meaning it lost 5 minutes every day. Marc thibaultron 1 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
SgtSki in MI Posted November 18, 2014 #2 Posted November 18, 2014 Canon Creative park has several FREE paper model projects including some tall ships. They're not near as detailed as the Polish kits and rather toylike, but fun to build. Maybe a project to do with the kids/grandkids? Here's a link to Canon's Cutty Sark from the website: http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/2027/cuttysark/index.html Quote "Any officer can get by on his sergeant. To be a sergeant you really have to know your stuff. I'd rather be an outstanding sergeant than just another officer." - SgtMaj Daniel J. Daly, USMC, 1921. Tom Current Builds: 1.

ccoyle Posted November 18, 2014 #3 Posted November 18, 2014 I haven't been at the cardfaq page in years, but at that time it had a lot of dead links. I wonder if that is still the case? thibaultron 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. - Tuco Current builds: Brigantine Phoenix, DS Børøysund

ccoyle Posted July 15, 2017 #5 Posted July 15, 2017 Bob, That's been the case for years now. The gentleman who originally maintained the card modeling FAQ passed away, and that site has not been updated since then.

Dan Vadas Posted November 4, 2018 #8 Posted November 4, 2018 Here is a link to Paper Shipwright, who have free downloads. And another from them of HMVS Cerberus, which was my first card model. Turned out fairly well. It comes in a printed version, which costs GBP 8.50, or a free download which you can print out yourself.

ccoyle Posted November 7, 2018 #9 Posted November 7, 2018 Speaking of Paper Shipwright, I see that David has revamped his web site. It is much improved in both look and function. AND (best part) he has increased the number of free models! Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Tector Posted March 2, 2019 #10 Posted March 2, 2019 That website (Paper Shipwright) has a model of CGS Canada, and it's at a reasonable scale. I am putting some serious thoughts into buying the paper kit and adapting it into a plank on bulkhead/mixed media model because I have always loved the lines of that vessel and she's so delightfully obscure.
