My first paper model
Hi all, I made this loco (loosely based on GWR "Manor" class) as a display for a friend's flower arrangement at the local church. It's rather larger than my usual modelling project, but it started me off on paper modelling, and I am now into my favourite area: ship building, currently CFM "SS Grainton" 1:250 scale. Also started 1:250 Wilhelmshaven "Nella Dan", so I have plenty to keep me going for a while.
Really enjoying the change of modelling medium (usually work with wood), and getting lots of info from this forum.

My goodness that is huge. So this is scratch-built? Very nice

Thanks, guys.
Yes, entirely scratch built, mostly from artist's mount board and some thinner stuff for the boiler. Plans drawn up from a couple of photos in railway modelling mag, and scaled UP!! (The large size is because the tender had to take vases of flowers......) Fortunately my friend has a larger house than me to put the model on show. Now for smaller stuff!!! Well, the sails are paper!! Last edited by Sojourner; 12-15-2012 at 02:57 AM.
