Cromer Lighthouse is number 6 of a series of British lighthouses being produced by Paper Shipwright. I chose Cromer as its one I know - I live about 30 Km from it. The model comes on two A4 sheets with instructions.. Paper Shipwright's lighthouses are 1:250 scale (the same scale as...

As it's my photo everyone is talking about at the moment, maybe I shouldn't comment, but.... I can't believe our SUPER MODERATOR can link the photo to the Hall of Fame gallery and not link it to another page. Maurice did it in post #10 in this thread. (BTW My thanks to Maurice and everyone...

Hi Bengt, Yes, I had seen photographs of the model by Antonín Langweil. That is a really beautiful work of art. I wasn't intending to expand my city to quite that size :roll: my wife would kill me :( but it would be fun :twisted: Thanks to everyone for your encouragement. I was...

You found it before I came back and saw your message. As you say - a hefty price - but then it is a hefty book! And with that many buildings in it, I don't think its too much..

SCEtoAux, Many thanks for your reply and the link to the Cork site. I knew someone would prove me wrong :wink: I know I'm going to have fun with this trying different layouts when I get to the end.

Final comments... Apart from some of the strange construction methods (but that may be just me - I am not an expert builder, and I have a lot of catching up to do!!), my main criticism with this model is lack of uniformity in the windows / doorways, which appears to be down to what the...

Here are the buildings in their intended positions on the plan. With the two blocks of buildings next to each other like this, you really notice the lack of recessed windows on the right hand block. A few more views, then I'll make my final comments....

Section 1 Group E - City Walls and Corner Tower. The sketches of the wall showed bracing and supports for the walkway but looking for them on the sheet all I could find was this Searching through the instructions I spotted "2 x 2 mm" in the text near the part numbers. I cut...

Section1 Group D - Three buildings. Another group of three shown as a single block on the plan, but this time they are three separate models. Not only do they all have recessed windows (where visible when fitted as a block), but two of them have extra parts sticking out from the...

Section 1 Group C - Two Towers and another section of wall. Again, slots to cut in the towers and the wall for the walkway. With the half-round tower I had to insert a former cut out from a scan of the plan to hold its shape. The other tower puzzled me. I had just made a group of 3...

Section 1 Group B - Three buildings and a fountain. The plan shows 3 buildings joined together, but in fact building 1 is separate from the other two. This first building highlighted the fact that this designer does not waste paper. To get all the parts to fit on the page, a...

Each Section is broken up into small groups... Section 1 Group A - A City Gate and small section of wall. Everything went reasonably well until the roof with the corner turrets. Looking back, I don't know if I went "out of sequence" somewhere, but this was a headache. I spent 2 days...

The book is massive (it weighs about 2.5 Kilo - over 5 lbs) and it’s a work of art in itself. A quality A4 Hardback, well bound, and beautifully printed on quality paper. Along with the book you get a set of actual-size plans and a very large poster of the City. The model is designed in 3...

The Medieval City by Richard Vyškovský, published by ABC I have titled this thread The Medieval City because that's what its called in the catalogues. I couldn't translate the actual title, but we normally associate a city with having a cathedral, which this doesn't, so it is really a town...
