Would you like to build your very own model of Bangor University’s research ship the Prince Madog?
The 1:250 scale model is available now from Paper Shipwright measuring 13.9cm with over 300 pieces. This detailed paper kit is designed from the original blueprints and would make a great feature or souvenir.
The state-of-the-art, purpose built research vessel was commissioned by Bangor University using a £3.5 million Joint Infrastructure Fund grant. Managed and operated by O.S.Energy, delivered and in service July 2001.
The vessel enables the UK’s marine scientists to study the biology, chemistry, geology and physics of our seas. Designed to take up to ten scientists and 20 students. The School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor and other university departments in the UK also use the vessel as a teaching platform, training the next generation of marine scientists.
The Prince Madog is named after a Welsh prince and is the second ship operated by Bangor university to bear that name.
About Paper Shipwright
Based in Cambridge in the UK, Paper Shipwright has been publishing high-quality paper/card models since 1999.
The range of models published reflects the market niche initially identified – namely smaller Victorian-era warships – but has since expanded to include modern vessels as well as civilian subjects and buildings with a maritime theme.
Each model’s subject is exhaustively researched and designed based on original drawings and sources wherever possible. All the models include a history of the vessel, English instructional text and full assembly diagrams.
The majority of the models published have been designed by David Hathaway and they are printed in small batches on a photo-quality inkjet printer that uses light-fast and waterproof pigment inks.
