Stříhám papír na kusy a lepím je dohromady. I cut paper to pieces and paste them together. I'm making scale models out of (mostly) paper and post (mostly) daily pics. #papercraft #scalemodel #vystrihovanky

Attached the storage locker to it's place on the platform. The locker door is holding there by pure willpower for now and I'll glue it once the model is almost complete. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the water tank to the platform and added some plumbing to it. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've built a water tank for the front part of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the towrope entry/crane hook rest to the platform. The hook rest freely turns in the base. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've built walls for the hook towrope entry mechanism which also serve as a base for the hook rest. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The walls in a vertical (standing position). Ribs reinforcing the structure are visible on one side of each rib.

I've built a rest for the crane hook to attach to the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The hook rest from one side, held in tweezers over a cutting mat. The rest is a half-circle with a metal frame around the round parts and joints along the circle diameter at the straight side.

The hook rest visible from the other side. It's symmetrical and looks prety much the same from both sides.

Added footrests and a little panel to the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built another pulley for the rope winding mechanism. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I moved the model too rashly and the cab tore off from the chassis, I guess it's too heavy for the tiny hinges. I hope the cab on real trucks holds better😅 Fortunately, nothing is broken. I'll keep it off for now for easier manipulation. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Papíráčky@papiracky· Jul 1

Attached the spool to the platform and added half of a rope winding mechanism. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a spool for the towrope. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I'm starting to worry about the weather station on the balcony. But I'm NOT opening the blinds to save it 😅

There is no escape 🫠

Attached the towrope guide to the back of the platform. The guide can turn freely, though in practice on the model, its position will be fixed by the position of the rope on the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Papíráčky@papiracky· Jun 24

Attached all the parts to the towrope guide mechanism. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Papíráčky@papiracky· Jun 22

I've started building one more pulley system for a towrope guide. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Made one more peg, attached everything together, and glued it to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The complete moving piece of the hinge. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've completed the drawbar base and added a hinge. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

A view of the base from the "back". This side will be attached to the platform, so there's not much to see here :)

Build a cover for the drawbar base. It includes one of those 2mm half-round signal lights, fun stuff. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Papíráčky@papiracky· Jun 10

Started building a base for the drawbar. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built two more pegs and added them and the pulley to the rear part of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

A detailed view of the pulley and the pegs installed at the rear part of the platform.

A vew of the rear panel of the platform. All the new parts from recent days have been installed, including the pulley and the new pegs.

Vacations are over, I finally deleted all the emails from when I was gone, and now I'm back to work (and scale models). I've built a pulley for the tow cable holder. Of course, it turns ⚙️ #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I'm not going to make the #bastillebuild but here's a photo that is at least 50% France to compensate. Enjoy the builds everyone!

I forgot to attach the photos to the previous post, so there they are. I really need those vacations😅 Original post: Built more hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the hinges with the pegs to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built pegs for the hinges. The pegs are built from copper wires of different widths. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The pegs that will be used to the hinges.
