Finally I decide to build late version of this tank.
Track link (made from card)
And reduction gear ( I hope it's look good
)
And some photos of the interior...I'm not sure about colour...
Red or blue - grey ???
I hope You like it.More soon.

This topic was posted before at an earlier stage with a guide on how you built the tracks and its breathtaking what you can do with card. Simply amazing, you must have the patience of an angel. How long do you think it will take to complete ?

Very impressive. What scale is it. This looks much bigger than 35th. The Germans used a redish primer color, so go with that . As you add more things to build up the interior of the crew compartment you will want to go to a beige / off white color
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it

Hi!
New photos...aktually turret-late model
Begin with side armor shape...It will have 3,2 mm in scale...
To keep side armor shape i used Brand Clear Glue-exellent to kit the card
Next step- add turret ring.

Unbelievable.
This looks so professional. Which scale is it and how do you print and design the stencils?
Best wishes,
ekke
Dude, 1/72 is not a scale.
It's a lifestyle! ;-)

I do not believe that a human is doing this. I think you've got a bunch of tiny elves, being held against their will, and that you're forcing them to work on this day and night. Shame on you!
Seriously, this looks fantastic. Please keep updating us with your progress.

Thank You for all posts...
Model is in 1:25 scale.This is most popular scale in card models for panzers.
Ekke- this stencils are cut, not design and print.
Have 1mm in diameter, cut with needle.
I'm still not sure about front area of the turret...lower section.How this plate has been welded, after that the turret chin was set.

That is truely amazing work. I am 100% impressed.
it looks like the front turret chin plate is simply flat seam welded to the upper portion, at least by that photo.

Good idea build with that Pilze! It´s looks very different that normal Tiger. I look track links picture again ( And not so fast..) and i think you are mad. :-) Lots of work with only track and there are so many them...
But i say, you are master!
How many euro you thing this project cost?
And i´m so amateur, i ask what materials you use?
Go, Przemo, Go!!!
