Thanks Jim and Telman, Good that the model is still available. And good that some people are better than me on navigating Bulgarian sites. Now I am going to try the contact address. Thanks again and till next time Gunnar ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Krauzlis To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 10:36 PM Subject: RE: [Papermodels II 45155] Kon-Tiki
Greetings, Gunnar! I believe the model your described is still available at this site: http://www.bgbiomass.com/bghobby/kon-tiki/index.htm Is this the one? I can’t tell either who the designer is, although the home page talks about three individuals and the hobby pages seem to refer to “George”, which might be George Zhelev. There is an email address provided ([email protected]) that you might want to try but I see these pages date back a few years and are apparently not current. Looking forward to seeing more on this build! Cheers! Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gunnar Sillén Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 3:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Papermodels II 45153] Kon-Tiki Dear all, I am just building a model I downloaded three years ago thanks to a posting to this group. It is the Kon-Tiki which showed up to be a pleasant experience. It has given me a lot of training in the art of glueing paper rolls. I have also got some training in handling threads. First I thought that this model should have been a wooden (balsa) model instead. But I have found that the paper has given some very special qualities to the model. The model is also very ambitious when it comes to detailing and accuracy. I will send another picture when I am ready. The text on the model sheets looks to be Bulgarian (and English) and the website from where it came (bgbiomass.com) also seems to be Bulgarian. But I have found no naming at all of the designer of the model. As I am building the model for a paper ship exhibition, I would like to give credits to the designer. But who is he (or she)? Does anybody know? And does anybody know if the model is available anywhere on the web to-day?
