This cardboard model sheet was originally created in 2008 for the opening of the museum. It has sadly been out of print for a long time. Now you can print is you can printi it yourself and build it. We wish happy modellig!

To make the building of the model a bit easier, our volunteer colleague Renate Langhammer-Krause has written an extended building manual. Here is the video.

Working through the building steps

  1. Search for the pieces that you need for the building step.
  2. Groove all fold lines using the metal ruler and the blunt needle.
  3. Roughly cut each piece from the sheet.
  4. Now cut every piece on the extenal continnuous black line. Don’t leave the glue tabs out. You can write the number of each piece on it’s backside so you don’t mistake them.
  5. Use a small basket to collect all paper rests. This makes it way easier to find any pieces you may have throun away by mistake.
  6. Fold the foldlines on the edge of the table. think about if the line should be folded to the outside or to the inside before doing it.
  7. Glue the pieces together. Use the small wooden stick to clean superflues glue from the model. You can use the tweezers to press the glue tabs together.
  8. Wait until the glue hay dried until you use a piece on the next step.
  9. Pieces that need to be bent can be rolled with the blunt needle.
  10. Take good care that your hands stay clean and glue-free all through the building process.

The International Maritime Museum Hamburg wishes you all happy modelling!
