Papercraft of ferries
Last month (February 2015), I was pressed by work, and I couldn't add onto this website. But I finished my article at last, and I could spare the time. So I've built up papercraft of ferries which have been on my mind for some time. All papercraft are official papercraft from ferry companies.
Kiso (Taiheiyo Ferry)
I started with this simple one, a papercraft of Taiheiyo
Ferry. Left untreated for quite a while. This is a papercraft of
the Kiso. The Kiso entered service in 2005. That means I bought
it 10 years ago. Time and tide stay for no man!
It's quite easy to build up this papercraft, but it's too
simple. So its execution leaves something to be desired. It
looks like a box of candies or something. :-) I recalled
biscuits in a box like this were sold at a shop aboard the MOL
Ferry.
Sunliner 2 (Haboro Enkai Ferry)
This is another peparcraft, which I took at an event that promoted both Teuri island & Yagishiri island one year ago (February 2014). She is the Sunliner 2, a new ferry of Haboro Enkai Ferry. Probably this papercraft was originally created by a Tokyo-based Sumidagawa Zosen (Sumidagawa Shipyard Co., Ltd.) which built the (real) Sunliner 2.
Cypria Soya (Heartland Ferry)
So, I built up 2 papercraft. And then, I recalled I bought a
papercraft of Heartland Ferry when I visited Rishi island &
Rebun island. I found the papercraft in the closet and set it
up. :-)
This is the Cypria Soya. According to her assembling
instructions, the papercraft went on the market in 2008 when she
entered service. That means I bought this 7 years ago. :-)
It reproduces a sense of the real ship, I think.
