The Perfect Storm - Fishing Vessel Andrea Gail Paper Model
by Paper Diorama

Created by the talented design team from the Italian website Paper Diorama, here is a beautiful paper diorama in 1/400 scale representing the fishing boat Andrea Gail facing its likely fateful destiny. 

The entire model occupies only two printed sheets, one for the boat and another for the stand, and despite the tiny pieces, it's not difficult to assemble. Furthermore, if you wish, you can increase the scale when printing. 

The diorama hypothetically shows what may have happened, as there are no exact records of what really occurred with the boat and its crew. 

The fishing boat Andrea Gail was a commercial fishing vessel that gained notoriety due to the tragic fate it faced. In October 1991, during a storm in the Atlantic Ocean, the Andrea Gail and its crew disappeared without a trace. The boat was never found, and all six crew members lost their lives. 

This tragic story was subsequently portrayed in the book "The Perfect Storm," written by Sebastian Junger, and in the 2000 film of the same name directed by Wolfgang Petersen, which detail the events that led to the Andrea Gail's tragedy.

The book describes how the boat and its crew were hit by an intense storm, considered the "Perfect Storm" due to the combination of different meteorological factors that made it extremely violent.

The fate of the Andrea Gail became a symbol of the dangers faced by fishermen who venture into turbulent and stormy waters, especially in the North Atlantic region.

In the video just below, you can see a scene from the 2000 movie showing the spectacular wave that inspired the Paper Diorama team to create this papercraft.

Criado pela talentosa equipe de designers do site italiano Paper Diorama, eis aqui um belo diorama de papel na escala 1/400 representando o barco pesqueiro Andrea Gail enfrentando seu provável fatídico destino.

O modelo todo ocupa apenas duas folhas impressas, uma para o barco e outra para o stand e, apesar das peças diminutas, não é difícil de montar. Além do mais, se você quiser, pode aumentar a escala na hora de imprimir. 

O diorama mostra hipoteticamente o que pode ter acontecido, já que não há registros exatos do que realmente ocorreu com o barco e sua tripulação.

O pesqueiro Andrea Gail era um barco de pesca comercial que ganhou notoriedade devido ao trágico destino que enfrentou. Em outubro de 1991, durante uma tempestade no Oceano Atlântico, o Andrea Gail e sua tripulação desapareceram sem deixar vestígios. O barco nunca foi encontrado e todos os seis membros da tripulação perderam a vida.

Essa história trágica foi posteriormente retratada no livro "The Perfect Storm" (A Tempestade Perfeita), escrito por Sebastian Junger, e no filme de mesmo nome lançado em 2000, dirigido por Wolfgang Petersen, que detalham os eventos que levaram à tragédia do Andrea Gail.

O livro descreve como o barco e sua tripulação foram atingidos por uma tempestade intensa, considerada a "Tempestade Perfeita" devido à combinação de diferentes fatores meteorológicos que a tornaram extremamente violenta.

O destino do Andrea Gail se tornou um símbolo dos perigos enfrentados por pescadores que se aventuram em águas turbulentas e tempestuosas, especialmente na região do Atlântico Norte.

No video abaixo você pode ver uma cena do filme de 2000, mostrando a espetacular onda que inspirou a equipe do Paper Diorama a criar este papercraft.

WW2`s Camouflaged Industrial Building Paper Model - by KPN

During World War II the Allies used to disguise their plants as if they were residential buildings, trying to avoid being bombed by the Germans. This very original paper model in 1/400 scale created by KPN, dutch website, tries to bring an idea of how these buildings were.

Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial os Aliados costumavam disfarçar suas instalações industriais como se fossem prédios residenciais, tentando evitar com isso que fossem bombardeadas pelos alemães. Esse modelo de papel em escala 1/400, criado pelo site holandês KPN, tenta dar uma idéia de como eram esses prédios.
