Any updates on how this worked for you if you've tried it yet? It'd be useful to find if you had any issues using it (or if you just waited for your webcam to arrive).

Hello I forgot to give a update. I first tried to use Electrum, but it couldn't handle BIP38. So I used Mycelium (Android) instead. I made all transfers with Myceliym including the transfer to the new addresses. The phone was connected to the internet the whole time, but I never reuse paper wallet addresses and the old are empty now.

The new addresses are generated with a air-gapped PC and the paper is folded so I don't accidental take any pictures of my private key, but it's easy enough to scan the public key.   

I know it's not the most secure way but it got the job done, I mean now when my BTC is at my new addresses it should be aright now?

Thanks for the help Jackg!
