I thought http://www.streetpaper.de/ did one but no joy when i just looked... perhaps it was another site? D

Awesome stuff. Still think she's an odd looking ship. D

Simply spiffing! D

I love that big "steel" structure! D

Well I would or should shuffle forward and defend the rolled paper mast and spar. But mine have a wire core (hypocrisy!) to prevent an implosion of rigging should I get that far, wood is good but I doubt I could carve straight. My view on paper modelling is that it is all smoke and mirrors...

Paper Ropes! Ha ha, that would be mad! Perhaps at a larger scale... I think the guys who make their own ropes are a bit odd, well driven individuals at least. D

Hi Muffins1 I will be quick to differ! Those are card and paper blocks you see on the gun. Kit supplied patterns were PVAed to 1mm or 1.5mm chipboard in strips of 10 or so and soaked in cyano glue then drilled out with a micro drill (the little finger powered twist type) then "ropes" passed...

Well I have let Alert sit for 10 months in an un-rigged condition so I don't deserve any praise! My problem is the blocks. Do I make them from card in the required numbers and sizes(about 250 I think in three sizes)? Using card means finding the right sort of card and glue and then make a tool...

Last....?

You are a braver man than I and more able too. My HMS Alert has stalled but Cleopatra is sure to inspire. Keep them coming. D

Good old V108. You cannot go wrong! I upped the scale and found her a bit of a challenge and a great way to learn! D

A pretty model of an interesting and "pretty" ship and such a long build history! You have a real passion. D

How "fine" are the railings? I found laminating and / soaking in cyano works fine. Only snags: 1. you have to be able to cut the little beggars out first. That can be a bit tricky. 2. you will have to paint them (but you probably will anyway). 3. They look a little bit 2D. But I bet they...

My Greg, What an eclectic modeller you are! Looking forward to seeing this. D

More AWESOME! D

Fast Ferry I have some photos which I hope illustrate the power and speed of these vessels. I took the pics from the Stena Line "sea-Cat" out of Belfast which is, I believe, a Finish built ship and much bigger than the Incat. They are both very fast and comfortable ferries. D

Awesome! D

Yes.... http://www.trspartan.freeserve.co.uk/card_models.htm Very small D

Woooo that is fantastic! D

Mini Figs were a well known and respected supplier of wargames figures in my youth. I still have some lovley simple First World War troops in 15mm. I cannot wait to see what your crew will look like on deck. Arrrr! D
