Card Models
J.L.:
Three French models are sitting on my dining room table ready to be viewed by the head librarian of Trent University here in Peterborough. They are being donated to the university Bata Library. If accepted they will find an appropriate home.
Especially the Institute. It was willed two million books many years ago. Perhaps it will reside in a Canadian library.
Many of you will recall that it was the card model of the vertical steam engine that got me interested in model engineering with metal.
Many of the card models are just sitting in boxes downstairs. It is time to find them homes! ;D

They are absolutely beautiful John. They definitely deserve a good home where they will be seen and enjoyed by many.

J.L.:
Thank you gentlemen.
Carl, the models are made by cutting and assembling paper. You can easily find on the internet publishers of card models; those in France, Germany and The Czech Republic being amongst the leaders. The scale models are either hand drawn by graphic artists or generated by computer.
These pictures will give you the flavour of the hobby...
A large body of my work can be found on a German card modelling site.
