Crusader Card Model, 1:25 Scale

[Guest]

That is some fantastic work Tim ......... I have often thought about having a go at a card model. But, I could see me making a right "Hash" of it. Perhaps I'm best off just watching you do it.

Thank you for your kind words.


Card models aren't difficult. A really good place to start is here:

The really good part with a down load kit, is you can always print out a new part if you need it.

The first parts went together quite well

The awkward bit is having to build up and fit the gun section before the main assembly. Usually like to leave the main gun till last.

The gun barrel is made out of rolled paper with a wood core.

Things start to go a bit awry from this point onwards. None of the outer 1mm card parts seem to fit. Had to do a bit of trimming.

Had to do more trimming to fit the skins. Made the best I can of it. If I had not started a thread on this model, it would be in the bin by now.
