Thank you for the support, but most importantly, the INSPIRATION! I've been featured by an Editor in the Paper Challenge that closes soon. I suppose I work well under pressure... Not bad, as the Instructable was approved by moderators Monday and it is now Tuesday (I posted over the weekend...

https://www.instructables.com/Building-a-Paper-or-Card-Stock-Armored-Vehicle-for/ So, I've finally created a tutorial based on my experiences in papercraft modeling since 2018 when I stumbled into Zealot tracking down the Patoroch models Silveroxide was building and posting on DakkaDakka...

Here we go, a quick break down of each mech. 3D printed mech is between a CGL injected molded Griffin and a Stratos Minis resin "Bullshark" (counts as Maurader) Calvin, Urbanmech: Hobbes, Highlander: Suzie, Blackjack: Moe, Awesome:

So, for my first paint ups of my 3D proxies... I decided to do something I'm unlikely to do with actual models. Create a Sunday comic strip inspired lance... Watterson's World Defense Forces militia... Lead by Calvin and Hobbes. Printing stats: 3D Print Life gray Pro PLA Extruder Temp...

...and where my 3D printing is presently focused! So, I've 'retired' my starter box that I acquired in the late 90's. I had all the components still, and reloaded them into this box and put it on a high shelf for display only. After all, I now have the new Catalyst Game Labs Introductory box...

Washers... Or those annoying fasteners that come with furniture kits that are left over when you get the item built... Yeah, that'll make a good weight for the nose!

So, how did the contest go? Well, here are a few pictures of the field of competition, and how I fared individually in the results. Instagram from The Geekroom Games shop that ran the contest (for those who can view the IG or Facebook) Text from the post: January's Painting Contest was a...

This is where I should have inserted the details about the crew models! Well, the links are listed above... Commander/Gunner has the Classic Tanker Head, Crewman Torso, and the observer arms from the Heavy Weapon Crew. Driver is simply the Classic Tanker Head and Crewman Torso, epoxy...

Some more bench top and show time photos of the paint job. I figured the crew had also tied off an 'un-official' but Commisar approved, Imperial Guard flag to the front... I had to create a bit of lore for the vehicle... BO-25 (Bravo Oscar Two Fife) aka "Body Odor" from B-Troop 414th...

As per my usual for now, I didn't use anything fancier than craft store paint, Delta Ceramcoat acrylic to be exact. I think I had some Dick Blick or Daniel Smith sable brushes in my pile though, so for me those are pretty darn fancy. I didn't end up suing the 15/0, as those 3/0 brushes worked...

So, when those spoons didn't work out, due to the CA glue lack of interaction between the spoon material and deodorant container plastic... ...I switched over to making hand/foot rails so the crew could climb aboard (or boarders... yeah... design tradeoffs... crew accessibility vs...

Some details of how the base interfaced with the model, and some more experiments with the overall look adding in headlights with the hemispherical beads, small card stock boxes, and more solder as wiring. Those two spoons that looked cool as airbrakes... Yeah, they didn't make into the final...

I've soooo many updates for this... Now that the contest is over and the winner decided... More on that later. First, let me start where I left on the build. Continuing on with the turret, using the MK I predator design. Sometimes you just need a jig to keep the part steady while the glue...

Where 2021 ended, and 2022 began! Right here. Base coating the head.

More progress shots. Go figure, my assembly got sloppy, and so, I primed the parts for painting... Probably my second paper dome, ever... Yeah, this is a HUGE model. Maybe I was too conservative thinking it might be 1/12" scale...

:CHEERS::cool: Been a good year for papercrafting! Even if less productive than 2020.... Not that I'm complaining much!
