The Ephemeral Museum - RMS Titanic Paper Model In 1/1200 Scale
Assembled by Manuel Marquez


This beautiful and very original diorama paper model of the Titanic with its "ice tormentor" was assembled by my friend Manuel Marquez, from Spain. He says: - "It is curious that this ship was sold as a prodigy of its time, when in truth it was a resounding failure of naval engineering and a disaster in loss of human lives. The so-called "unsinkable boat" sank on its maiden voyage by friction with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The poor adaptation of hull steel to cold sea temperatures, poor quality metal rivets, reckless high-speed travel through high latitudes in ice fields, unpredictability of officers, shortage of lifeboats for all passengers, the classism of certain passengers and greed and human uncleanness consummated the tragedy. In the end, nobody was responsible. A tremendous failure of the British civilian navy." - "Thanks, Manuel, for the neat assembly, the pictures and the story. Greetings from Brazil to Spain!" - Mauther - This perfect paper replica of the Titanic in 1/1200 scale was created by British designer and modeler Ralph Currell, from Currell Models website and is approximately 9 inches long when complete.


Eis aqui um belo e super original diorama do navio Titanic e seu "algoz de gelo" montado por meu amigo, Manuel Marquez, da Espanha. Ele diz: - "É curioso que este navio, que foi vendido como um prodígio de sua época, foi na verdade um fracasso retumbante de engenharia naval e um desastre em número de vítimas. O suposto "navio inafundável" afundou em sua viagem inaugural, quando "raspou" em um iceberg no Atlântico Norte. A incompatibilidade entre o aço do casco com as temperaturas congelantes do mar, os rebites de metal de baixa qualidade, a imprudência de se viajar em alta velocidade por altas latitudes, em campos de gelo, a imprevisibilidade dos oficiais, a falta de botes salva-vidas para todos passageiros, o classismo de determinados passageiros e a ganância humana consumaram a tragédia. No final, ninguém foi responsabilizado. Uma tremenda falha da marina civil britânica." - "Muito obrigado, Manuel, pela caprichada montagem, pelas fotos e pela história. Saudações do Brasl à Espanha!" - Mauther - Esta perfeita replica em papel do Titanic na escala 1/1200 foi criada pelo designer e modelista inglês Ralph Currell, do site Currell Models e mede aproximadamente 9 polegadas quando completado.

About the Ephemeral Museum:

I "am in the paper modeling" since 2005, although I've had contact with paper models from my childhood in the 1970s, via magazines that were sold sporadically in newsagents. I remember magazines with houses to build and dioramas/playsets of airports, western forts, nativity scenes and the like. With the advent of the internet what happened was simply a revival of the papercraft hobby for me and many other people of my generation. Today I am opening a new session here on the blog, the Ephemeral Museum , which is a place where I will show some of the models that I built all these years. I would also like this to be a space where all modelers friends could show their work, so if anyone wants to participate in this "museum", just send photos of your work and a few words, if you want, to the e-mail:

mautherous@gmail.com

All who submit their work will be published, without exceptions.


Eu "estou no papelmodelismo" desde 2005, embora eu já tivesse contato com modelos de papel desde minha infância, nos anos 1970, via revistas que eram vendidas esporadicamente em bancas de jornal. Lembro que haviam revistas com casas para montar e dioramas/playsets de aeroportos, fortes-apache, presépios e coisas do tipo. Com o advento da internet o que houve foi simplesmente um renascimento do hobby do papelmodelismo para mim e muitas outras pessoas de minha geração. Hoje eu estou inaugurando uma nova sessão aqui no blog, o Ephemeral Museum, que é um lugar aonde irei mostrar alguns dos modelos que eu construí em todos estes anos. Também gostaria que esse fosse um espaço aonde todos os amigos modelistas pudessem mostrar seus trabalhos, sendo assim, se alguém quiser participar deste "museu", basta mandar fotos de seu trabalho e algumas palavras para o e-mail abaixo:

mautherous@gmail.com

Todos que enviarem seus trabalhos serão publicados, sem exceções.

Brazilian Gurgel Xavante X-15 Paper Model - by Cemodelazil



 photo x15a_zps6fash8b1.jpg
The Real Thing
According to Wikipedia, the Xavante X-15 was a type of Jeep produced by Gurgel from Brazil between the late 1970s and the mid-1980s. With robust construction and visual design with the traditional Volkswagen mechanics, it had a huge frontal bumper that, by its size and black color, even frightened. It was a very curious car, because seen from certain angles, it appeared to be an civilian armored car. This very well made paper model version of the X-15 was created by Brazilian designer and modeler João Carlos, from Cemodelazil website. When on 4Shared page, to find the templates for the X-15, go to the bottom of the page. The X-15 is the latest model.

 photo x15abb_zpsdl6hv0xg.jpgSegundo a Wikipedia, O Xavante X-15 foi um utilitário produzido pela Gurgel do Brasil entre o final da década de 1970 até a metade da década de 1980. De construção e visual robustos ,com a tradicional mecânica Volkswagen, possuía um enorme pára-choques que pelo seu tamanho e cor preta, chegava até a assustar. Era um carro muito curioso, pois visto de certos ângulos, aparentava ser um carro-forte de passeio. Não há um número exato, mas provavelmente foram construídos apenas 4.000 X-15 e ainda podem-se ver alguns aqui pelo Brasil. Esta muito bem feita versão em papel do X-15 foi criada pelo designer e modelista brasileiro João Carlos, do site Cemodelazil. Quando na página do 4Shared, vá bem para o final da página para achar o X-15. Ele é o último modelo de toda a página.
