Excellent job. The workmanship, because you fit, cut to fit, measured thrice, cut once. Your model looks way better than UHU's attempt. You have every right to be very proud of your build. I do share some joy though, because you've displayed it here!! :)

As ever, your way ahead of me. The Crazy Glue covered with paint, and the strength of cutting out the black panels (which forces the stress to travel in the right direction, and actually stiffens the model), will make this model rigid, with just the right amount of elastomeric flexibility...

Most people, (well, a lot of people) build this model and don't cut out the dark spots. You have gone the tough road. I would offer one suggestion, when you finish a delicate section, do something to keep out the moisture. I saw one of these done, and rather well, it 2 years, despite being in...

You have stated the number 1 reason to do this hobby. Your model is 100% successful. :)

This model is going to teach you a lot. Your foundation is great. ;)

Good start. If you do a ship, or sub, again, always start the former's from the ends, it is easier to fit the center former's to size. Always put a thin sheet of paper on the former edge, to avoid the "skeleton effect" Another tip is to always do former pieces as pairs on opposite sides, this...

The model came out great. As far as the tires go, they came out well too. To get a more realistic tread, using notebook, thin paper for the treads, and using some strips. When you apply the pain, or whatever you use, the tires will look much better. However, this is just an observation on...

Nice body shape. ;)

Those "Gerry Cans" are great! :)

Tatra is a world class company, and one of the first, and longest lasting vehicle companies in the world, with original design vehicles. The idea for the Volkswagen Beetle was stolen from "Tatra', and Volkswagen has confirmed that. ;)

Mike, that Tatra car would be interesting to see built. Are you planing too? There's little profit in car manufacturing today, the profit margins are too small. Tatra does make amazing buses,, work related big trucks, of all kinds, and they are used all over the world. The age of some of...

Very awesome. We have another beautiful model being born from Mijob's brain! :)

Nothing wrong with using 3D but I find when doing models the "Old fashioned" way, one tends to find mistakes quicker, as you are not relying on some on the automatic features of CAD programs that create errors when unfolding. I love making ship hulls. I can do it with Rhino, but I also can make...

Me likey very very much!! :)

I think so too. That car had a rear mounted, rear wheel drive V-8 engine. To do it justice, the front and rear fenders would have to be waterformed to capture the radii properly (roof too) IMHO. :)

Tatra is such an amazing company. They have developed cars without any outside influence since way before WW2. Beautiful automobiles, that do not get their just appreciation. German officers would steal these cars for their own use, and they drove them so fast, many died in accidents for...

What a wonderful, historic collection. I really believe that anyone wishing too find info on model trains, trains in general, will find these posts and gain much information, for far longer than we can imagine. ;)

Wow!! I love the dog, Bees, fish, and the building. Very nice models. I especially really like you choice of subjects to model. As always, a joy to see. :)

Superb!! Well done!! :BRAVO:

That model is studio quality miniaturization. It's a pleasure to look at. ;)
