Paper Shipwright April 2012

Model Show apologies

I do apologise that I was not able to be at the ModelKraft show in Milton Keynes earlier this year, but the snow made travel impossible for me.

Upcoming Model Show

The 24th Internationales Karton-Modellbau-Treffen takes place at the Deutschen Schiffahrtsmuseum, Bremerhaven, Germany from 27th to 29th April. I will be exhibiting a selection of my models there and offering a limited range of kits for sale. I can also take orders for later delivery. If anyone would like to buy a specific model from me there, then please send me an email and I will try to bring it with me.

New models

Printed models - I will be announcing a number of new models at the Bremerhaven model show, they will then be available to order from my website - watch for details. There is a Titanic theme to one of the models!

Download models - available now

1. Jeffrey's Hook lighthouse - better known as the Little Red Lighthouse after it appeared in a children's book, this is a small redundant lighthouse in New York City

2. Airship mooring mast - one of three built in 1925 for the successful "Norge" airship expedition to the North Pole

Paper Shipwright November 2011 Update

The new Paper Shipwright website is live!

I am pleased to announce that the new Paper Shipwright website is live. The site has been re-built from the ground up and now includes a built-in online shop. The look and feel has been changed significantly and should make both navigation round the site easier. Any feedback will be gratefully received - as will being told of any remaining issues.

New Models Available

I have been waiting until the new site is live before making announcements about new models. Some have been listed on my old site for a while but others are genuinely new releases. All are available from my new web site/online shop.

Note that on the new website free download models must be added to the cart just like printed models. Simply follow the check-out process and you will be sent a link you can click on to get the free models. You do not need to order a printed model if you only want one of the free ones.

New Printed Models

1. Monitor Skjold - Swedish coastal defense monitor
2. MT Sarnia Cherie - small modern coastal tanker. An add-on kit is available for purchase separately to allow her sister-ship, Sarnia Liberty, to be built
