Paddle Steam Ferry Commodore Perry Paper Model - by Magnus Morck - via Models`n`Moore


Photobucket

USS Commodore Perry was one of many ferries and other civilian craft that were
converted to serve in the Union Navy. In late 1861 it was rebuilt into a gunboat,
carrying heavy cannons on the open decks.

Thanks to Models`n`Moore`s work of preservation, We can know and share the work of talented Swedish modeler, now deceased, Magnus Morck.
Olof, son of Magnus says: - "Publishing Civil War paper models remained one of the great joys of Magnus' life right until the very day he passed away, and to hear of the reception his last model, the magnificent CSS Albemarle, received was of great worth to him in a time when he was fighting the toughest battle of his life. Although he lost the battle against his brain tumour, part of his legacy will live on through this page, and I will make certain it is maintained and that the models will remain downloadable".

The Real Thing

O USS Commodore Perry foi um dos muitas embarcações civís que eram requisitadas e convertidas para servir na Marinha Union. No final de 1861, essa balsa foi transformada em uma canhoneira, carregando canhões pesados ​​nas plataformas abertas.
Graças ao trabalho de preservação de Models`n`Moore, Nós podemos conhecer e compartilhar o trabalho do talentoso modelista sueco, já falecido, Magnus Morck.
Olof, filho de Magnus, diz: - "Criar modelos de papel de barcos da Guerra Civil norte-americana permaneceu uma das grandes alegrias da vida Magnus até o dia em que ele faleceu, e ouvir os elogios ao seu último modelo, o magnífico CSS Albemarle, foi de grande valor para ele em um momento em que lutava contra a mais dura batalha de sua vida. Apesar de ter perdido a batalha contra o tumor cerebral, parte do seu legado viverá através desta página, e eu vou ter certeza de que ela seja mantida e que os seusmodelos permaneçam para download".
