FV215b 183 Papercraft Model - 1:76 - Complete!

[Lord]

I forgot to post this ages ago, but you all remember the papercraft tank I was making when I posted a pic of it in the Mood Thread, right?

Well I finished it a good while back;


Here's the one and only image of the real thing (wooden prototype)


The cannon can elevate and depress, up and down.

The turret is capable of moving in a full 360 degree motion, which it shouldn't but I couldn't find an effective way of fixing it.

I used jet black, gun-metal grey and a mix of brown and peach to colour it.

The biggest problems were the flat pieces above the sides of it, where the tanks are. The hatch on top was a little tricky, the machine gun too. As-well as the two poles on both sides of the front. Of course the wheels were tricky too, as always. Also getting the gun to move was a pain in the arse also.

I used the gun metal grey to paint little bolts onto it, and to fill the tanks in, I was hesitant about doing that but I'm glad I did. :D

This took a couple of weeks to do, I think, I hope you like it. ;)

Here's another little thing also, that I did for my Bismarck model, a sea diorama, just to have all of this in one post;

I have absolutely no experience with this kind of thing, but you look really good at it. Are all the little cannons on that ship made of paper as well? or did you find plastic cannons to use for that?

The ship is completely plastic, including the cannons. And the tank is completely paper.
Thanks Ray. ;)
