Assuming your queryset variable contains all the records you need, you could insert a PageBreak object. Just add from reportlab.platypus import PageBreak to the top of your file, then append a PageBreak object to your document’s elements.

If you want to change the template for each page, you can also append a NextPageTemplate and pass the id of your PageTemplate. You’ll need to add from reportlab.platypus import NextPageTemplate to the top of your file as well.

for obj in queryset:
    #1st frame
    model = Paragraph(obj.make,styles["Verdana9"])
    story.append(model)
    modelfr.addFromList(story,c)

    #2nd frame
    signatory = Paragraph(obj.signatory,styles["VerdanaB10"])
    story.append(signatory)
    signfr.addFromList(story,c)

    # Force the report to use a different PageTemplate on the next page
    story.append(NextPageTemplate('rsl_frame2'))
    # Start a new page for the next object in the query
    story.append(PageBreak())

You could move the PageBreak wherever you need it, but it’s a simple “function” flowable. NextPageTemplate can take the id of any valid PageTemplate object that you’ve added via addPageTemplates.
