"Paper/Cardstock models II" Topic

Roaming around the web I came upon these in 1/200 and 1/400. Should be able to re-size them for some less expensive ships to use in gaming. Robert

Bismark scala 1:400
Sharnhost scala 1:400
Gneisenau scala 1:400
Admiral Graf Spee scala 1:400
Regia Nave ZARA scala 1:200
Regia Nave Gen.M.PRESTINARI scala 1:200
Regia Nave V.ALFIERI scala 1:200
Regia Nave APE (1943) scala 1:200

There are lots of card stock models if you want to try them. Really, less expensive depends how you define it. Card models are very cool, but do take some time to build.

"Card models are very cool, but do take some time to build."

I agree. And since the ones all listed above and in my previous thread on the subject are free then all the costs are just in Cardstock and a few other items . Robert

I was happy to find the Generale A. Cantore class torpedo boat Gen.M.PRESTINARI,Oriani class destroyer V.ALFIERI and the Gabbiano-class corvette APE (1943). Robert

Just found a site with a IJN Subchaser CH-13. I could use it for my Coastal gaming. .

And compared to some of the other ships available from the site. Like the HMS Roberts,IJN Oyodo and IJN Chokai. Robert

And the HMS Roberts looks good too. Robert

There is a free cardstock paper model plan for the WW2 Norwegian coastal destroyer (class) Sleipner on my other webpage at coatneyhistory.com

I've got plans for 29 World War 2 ship( classe)s for the book I am compiling. They are mostly American and British, but I have a couple representative German, Japanese, and Italian ships too, as well as the Dutch Tromp.

Mr Coatney, I have had your tripod website bookmarked for quite a long time. Your work is a treasure in the hobby. Thanks for the link to the updated site.

THANKS, EJ! Words like that make it all worthwhile. :-)

The free models will stay on my webpages as long as they exist, although the coatneyhistory webpage has to be renewed every year, and I am 65, so print off what you need NOW. :-)

The plans for the book now stand at 32? I've just done the H-class leader Hardy (beached/destroyed in the 1st Battle of Narvik) and Helena CL-50 of Guadalcanal fame.

I'll be including my Naval Acton miniatures rules combat results sheet and may put the (rest of the) rules up on my coatneyhistory webpage.

They don't have legal size paper over here in Norway, and that is a big problem – I want to do these in the historical Office of Naval Intelligence Naval Vessels recognition format (but you'll have to supply your own shoelace for binding :-) ). As is everything produced in Norway, it will be hideously expensive. :-(

Ships to be included are:

Sleipner coastal destroyer DD

Sangamon class escort carriers (Only the Bogues are available in injection plastic) CVE
South Dakota/Alabama BB
San Francisco CA (Tuscaloosa PQ17)
Wichita CA (PQ17)
Brooklyn CL
Helena CL
Benson/Gleaves DD – all 4 variants
Sims DD
Bagley DD (16 tubes)
Butler DE
Monitor

*Rodney BB
*King George V BB
Norfolk/Dorsetshire CA (Norfolk PQ17)
London CA (PQ17)
Perth CL
Dido (and Black Prince?) CLAA
Charybdis & Scylla ("toothless terrors") CLAA
H class leader Hardy DL
H class DD (both long bridge and short bridge – I'll try to include quintuple/pentad mounts for the I class … we'll see)
*Tribal class DD
*JKN class DD
Hunt Type 1 ED

K class light cruiser CL
Z1 Maasz class DD
Moewe class torpedo boat TB

d'Abruzzi light cruiser CL
Navigatori DD

Jintsu/Sendai/Naka (it sounds like a snake) CL
Shigure DD

The plans will not be colorized. Inkjet dye ink fades and toner cracks over time. Painting is best for models. I *will* dtp-print the drawings in inkjet: better to have them fade some than chip away.

*Done for my 1:1200 set complementary to the Airfix Sink the Bismarck set – I had already done but not colorized Norfolk/Dorsetshire – but that scale may just be too difficult for people to do.

Again, thanks for your interest (and encouragement)!

Those free Prudenziati models are INCREDIBLE. Much larger in scale and more detailed than my own.

Found this site with about 97 1/400th Scale ships. Some with more then one model in the kit. And Waterline too. Not free but a nice selection. Robert

And the prices are reasonable too.

I bought and reduced the Africano CL/Navigatori DD kit to 1:700 and tried the DD, but discovered there was no keel!

I do wonder how the designer solved Attendolo's radically flaired bow gunwale.

As I mentioned there are a few sets that they have too. I liked the JSC060 Operation Husky set with diorama that incorporates a transport and LSP(L),LCT4,LCM3,and LCPs in R and S configs. Robert
