Welcome at "World of Paperships"! Last update 01-03-2023 Paper model links and free paper model downloads: For any serious cardboard modelbuilder the moment will arrive that he / she wants to know more about the history and backgrounds of heir models. To enrich your own experience, you may get interested in modelbuilding techniques applied by fellow-modellers. Internet offers a wealth of websites and social media based pages related to papermodelling. For newcomers the offer may be overwhelming. WoP therefore plans to adjust the link and downlaod pages to help newcomers in our hobby to quickly see what internet may offer to them. To start, I will place more links on the Links page to interesting pages on the internet and Facebook. May I specifically ask your interest for the Article on papermodelling which was recently published in Issue Vol. 65, No. 2 summer 2020 of the Nautical Research Journal, written by David Sakrison. He has been building scale models for most of his life. Since 2005, he has mainly built paper scale models. The article can be downloaded through the Downloads page. New model: Australian Paddlesteamer Adelaide In the series of Australian Echuca paddlesteamers the third vessel of the Echuca River paddlesteamer fleet is now available! The scale of this charming model is 1: 100, identical to her already available sisters: ps Alexander Arbuthnot and ps Pevensey. Originally the ps Adelaide (with a length of 23.7 meters) was used as a logging boat towing flat bottom barges for many years until she was laid up in 1957. From 1958 up till 1960 she was placed on a concrete birth in Hopwood Gardens. In 1984 she was restored into her original condition. She is based as museum-ship at the Port of Echuca wharf and is used for excursions on the Murray River. The model is accurate into the smallest details. Even the double-cylinder steam engine is included! Together, the three models form a perfect base of a Echuca River Murray wharf diorama! We hope that this new publication will fulfill the wish of many of esp. my Australian customers. Last year World of Paperships published a special reprint of the Stork ROH diesel engine, based upon an original cardboard model, published by Stork in the sixties. Fortunately, there are still a number of reprints available so if you are interested in engine models, do not hesitate to order one before the lst models are sold.
