Inkscape is free and work with files in vector format. You can export the unfolded model ( if you have Pepakura Designer 3 ) as a e.g. dxf and open it with Inkscape and the paint him

The blueprints are for references, you can use any 3D modeling software ( Sketch-up , Metasequoia .... ) to make paper models. Check out the tutorials

Personally I use 160-180 g/m2 card and for internal structure 1-1,5 mm card .

You can need them or not , those are pieces for the thickness , so if you use a thick card you don't need them.

I guess this is how the model should be looking before printing ( at a greater resolution of course )

Nice work Bob!

don't know but looks interesting. :mrgreen:

This is so cool sign1sign1sign1 I like it very much.

Personally I like my armor models to be very rigid.

I've colored the body and the turret this week-end. I hope that next week I will start making the wheels and the missing parts.

I've printed the grey version using 80g/m2 paper , and them I've glue it to 200 g/m2. The first pieces.

Since long time I've wanted to build a BTR-60. So i've purchased NOBI's model and start building it. My intentions is to paint the model in the end to look like a Yemenite BTR-60. From the beginning I've spotted some problems: -It's in 1:35 so kinda big and it doesn't have a internal...

I've started the design of the propeller but I have a dilemma: to make 3 or 4 blades?
