About Paper Shipwright
The range of models published reflects the market niche initially identified – namely smaller Victorian-era warships – but has since expanded to include modern vessels as well as civilian subjects and buildings with a maritime theme.
A partnership formed in 2006 with Trinity House has resulted in the launch of a range of models featuring English and Welsh lighthouses. Working around the coast (both clock-wise and anti-clockwise) from a starting point in East Anglia, it is hoped to release a number of models each year – and with nearly 70 lighthouse to create models of, this is not a short-term project.
Each model’s subject is exhaustively researched and designed based on original drawings and sources wherever possible. All the models include a history of the vessel, English instructional text and full assembly diagrams.
