Holiday Gift Idea: How about a Laser-Cut paper ship model kit?

This build of Shipyard’s laser-cut paper model of the English navy brig HMS Wolf, 1754 is a detailed and complicated kit, as you can see in this customer’s build log.

While this build is going well, we recommend newcomers to paper ship modeling try tackling the 1/72-scale laser-cut kit of the French lugger Le Coureur, or possibly the British naval cutter HMS Alert first. These are both excellent, well-detailed kits in the same scale as this HMS Wolf kit, but with less complex rigging, and of course, a lower pricing.

For those ready for the toughest challenge, there is of course Shipyard’s masterpiece kit, HMS Mercury, a full-rigged frigate, and a very complex build with its many cannons and 3 masts.

Any of these kits would make ideal gifts for the holidays, complete with paints, brushes, all materials necessary, photo based instructions, and several plans sheets.
