I cut paper to pieces and paste them together.

I'm making scale models out of (mostly) paper and post (mostly) daily pics.

Built the windshield for the cab - cut out the frame and added glass from a transparent plastic sheet to it. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
The fitting of the air filters actually depends on the position of the cab, so I went to build that before attaching any of it. Starting by cutting out and shaping the main part of the cab body - and added "glass" to it. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Added a frame that will hold air filters and the exhaust pipe to the chassis. On this version of the truck, the exhaust is facing up behind the cab. Also did a dry fit test of the engine to the chassis, it looks like it fits just right. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Built the exhaust pipes and attached them to the engine. Due to a fairly complex shape, these pipes are flat (and I wasn't motivated enough to sculpt them from aluminium wires). #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Attached the turbochargers to the rest of the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
In reality, the Tatra logo on the fan does not turn, and it's always in the natural position. I did not pay attention to the orientation when I was building the body, but now I couldn't unsee it so I fixed it and made the part more plastic. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Attached the inlet tract pipes to the body of the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Built pieces of the turbochargers and a pipe that somehow connects them with the exhaust tract. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
