REALLY simple ocean liner?

Hey all! My son (7 years old) wants to make a ship like the titanic all by himself so I am looking for something REALLY simple. It does not need to be the titanic but something similar. The ones I can find look a bit too complex... Rick sent me a great book that has one too but he doesnt want to try that one himself....

He is gonna want some easy fish too but I think I got a few of those around here We wants to do an above water/below water diorama
Thanks!
Chris

Chris,

A couple of years ago, my son did a 3d trifold using Ralph Currels Titanic. You can omit alot of the fiddly bits, and it can be built up as a rather simple build, if you want it to.

great! I didnt download it yet cause I looked at the pics and it had lots of fiddly bits on the pic - as long as there are not blank squares where that goes it will work!
Thanks
Chris
p.s. I suppose he could color them in if they are there

I dont suppose you have a pic of his final build by any chance? I want to make sure it approximates what my son would like fussy little bugger

I'll see if I can find it and get you a pic. I have some things to take care of, so it could be later this afternoon or tomorrow.

If he wants something a bit more daunting, there's the Nipon Maru, Fuji Maru and Argentine here: にっぽん丸公式ページ : ダウンロード / ペーパークラフト

You could also try the Asuka I and II : http://www.asukacruise.co.jp/download/papercraft.html

And here's another real simple one, though it is a ferry not a liner: フェリー:カーフェリー:船:紙工作:ペーパークラフト:キッズ@nifty
