Mauretania : The Pride of the Tyne.

She was built just up the road from here. She was certainly one of the best.

Nice model. I'm very impressed.

[Softscience]

Nice.

I love the look of card ship models. Can you recommend a good one for a beginner paper-smith?

Beautiful

I continue to be amazed at what can be done with card in skilled hands. Impressive model!

For the record, the name of her unfortunate sister ship was the Lusitania (not Lousitania).

Best,

Joachim

I've only just got over the Maryland model and here's another one built out of card and other sundry stuff. This is really fantastic modelling, puts my use of plastic kits to shame!! I shall keep an eye on the ships section more often!
