Found a very low res. scan on Papermau - but good enough for a joke. Only 5 parts, so less than half an hour. (Does anyone else know this rule of thumb: 13 parts an hour, including all preparations and studying the instructions?). My preparations included a very Danish drink: a Juledram, Christmas tot.

Here's a flickr link to a few familie journal toys and models that I uploaded.

I wonder if they were printed on special (heavy) paper?

Hey, Diderick, I have a few and the ones that are on double sheets were printed on quite heavy paper. I also have some single sheet models that are on lighter paper, but as I don't know Danish, I can't say whether they were supposed to be glued on to heavier stock before building.

PATRICIAEUREKA,

Thanks for sharing. I find the old paper models fastenating. Last year I made a diorama for my granddaughter using several.

So they would have been inserts in the magazine? Size?
Could you send me a scan of the text on the thinner paper ones? I may be able to figure it out: Danish is closely related to German, Dutch and English.

Diderick: yes, I believe the heavier ones were all inserts, but the thinner ones are clearly torn from their companion pages, so were probably part of the magazine itself. I'll send you some scans as soon as I can make them.

Here are two scans. The first of the "Man in the Moon's Home" is on the thick paper. The second, the "Globus," on the thin paper. They both have the same dimensions, 27x37.5 mm per page. That would make the first scan 54x37.5 mm.
