This is my first build and I’ve chosen a paper model to dive into headfirst. I’m using primarily the paper (and lasercut card) components provided in the kit but I’m planning on using wood for some parts depending on how I get on and if I can figure out the planking configuration and etc… I’ve...

Hello everyone!! I decided to begin my HMS Victory from paper, well actually my first HMS Victory, i want to make two of them eventually since i like very much this ship and i would like to decorate both my house and my father's. So let's begin!! These two photos are from the first dry...

Hello. I would like to show my process of building the HMS MERCURY model in 1:72 scale from the Shipyard kit. I started construction in 2019, but due to professional reasons and the resulting chronic lack of free time, the work is taking an infinite amount of time. The model is mainly made of...

The Shipyard HMS Alert, in scale 1/72, just arrived from Ages of Sail, kit # ZL:001. It looks like the only item that wasn't included was the glue. Everything else was, rigging lines, cannons, blocks, paint brushes and paints you name it...even directions! I have on hand some Gorilla glue and...

Hi all, this is my first post in this forum although not my first model. I’ve built a number of ship models in numerous mediums from plastic kits, resin kits, to wooden kits and some scratchbuilt models. The Mercury however is my first card/paper model. After seeing images and some builds of...

So my Alert kit arrived and I’m getting ready to figure this thing out, and since it’s my first ever ship, I’m sure I’ll be needing help. First thing off, I’m going to be building the kit as the Continental Navy cutter Revenge, which won’t necessitate any major structural changes to the hull or...

Hello, I’m starting my first my paper ship this morning and my first build thread on this forum. The kit came on a bunch of large sheets of different weights. Some have to be glued to .5mm or 1mm cardstock. I’m scanning in each sheet then I’ll print them on the appropriate thickness of paper...

I think it's not boring to show the construction of a second Shipyard Mercury here. I'm building this model since February 2014. However, every year is a long break, from April or May to September / October I prefer to enjoy the nice weather outside. :cool: But now, when the evenings are getting...

Hello. I’d like to introduce You the building process of my cardstock (pressboard) HMS Victory. The first thing was to make a ship’s frames. The frames I made from 1 mm cardstock, except the bottom of hull (beneath the waterline), where the frames are 3 mm thick. To increase the thickness I...

Hi everyone, I've been a card modeler for years and almost always stuck to Great War aircraft. I saw a few Shipyard builds in the past that were oh so inspiring that I had to give it a go. Of course I had to choose the Bellona as my first ship and promptly figured out that I had bitten off...

Hoi, this build is no kit, there are printed parts for the hull, those have to be cut out and doubled to get the right thickness. Also a set of plans, and i managed to get me a lasercut for the very hard to cut small pieces. :D She will be the black and yellow version with the high quarterdeck...

This is the build of the HMS Mercury lasercut kit, it will be build in full color. Please bare with me because i`m a slow builder and its not an easy ship.;) What worries me the most is the rigging, i`m a total newby. We`ll see, it is still a long way from now.
