spoondog13 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi, I'm looking to build a model of the Kon Tiki. There is a Mantua kit 1/18 and some out of China 1/16 (on ebay). I can't find a reasonable set of drawings, does anyone know of any? (what I have found on the web so far is pretty crummy.) If I can source scaled drawings I'll scratch build it, if not I'll look at an existing kit. Has anyone had a go at the Kon Tiki.I loved reading about it as a lad and want to build a good quality model. Cheers Rodney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I have a book that may contain some images of use to you. I'll need to set up a photo storage account later before I can upload though, unless there's a way to upload to BM directly from my PC? Regards, Ross. EDIT: The book is 'The Kon-tiki Expedition: By Raft Across The South Seas', by Thor Heyerdahl. Edited October 20, 2017 by Ravens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I hope this is of use; I'm unsure of whether it depicts a model or an altered photograph. Regards, Ross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Good for you I’ve been a fan of Thor Heyerdahl my whole life. Im very happy to see someone modeling his boats. I will definitely follow this one if you are doing a WIP ? Edited October 20, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
