Hello paper modelers,
Just returned from a few weeks holiday in Singapore where I found two interesting models of traditional Chinatown shophouses, which can still commonly be found in this part of the "Lion City".
Model 1 is a shophouse fully used for residential purpose and Model 2 is both commercial and residential. The kits can be combined to resemble a row of shophouses, just like the real situation.
The models come in A4 size book form, are well documented and printed on thick, semi-glossy paper. The print quality looks very attractive and I couldn't resist to buy both of them. Price each was 38 Singapore dollar, which is currently about 25 euro / 28 USD.
The models are of local design (Ricky Soh) and can be bought through PaperBricks Design - Home or in local book stores/markets.
I wasn't aware of the existence of any paper modeling in Singapore, but there you go; it exists.
As I am too curious to just put the models on my growing to-do-stack, I decided to temporarily suspend the F-104G project and to start with one of the models. A scope change, we would say in project management terms (my daily work).
For now, a few pictures of the kit. The one I have started is kit no. 2, with a bakery, Chinese medicine and provision shop on the first floor and living spaces above. This type of shophouse was built in the early 1900s and is known as the "first transitional shophouse style".
