Built more hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

All work and no play makes @papiracky a dull boy, I barely have time to check the feed these days. I have a deadline in a few weeks, then vacations - until I get back, I might not post a lot. Then I'll be back to building, I hope.

Attached the hinges with the pegs to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built pegs for the hinges. The pegs are built from copper wires of different widths. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the blue lights to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built blue lights for the back of the cab. The lights are again protected by a cage. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added a hook that will be used for attaching a tow rope. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added tail lights to the rear part of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the sirens to the roof of the cab and built a protective cage for them. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Fitted the air filters to the model (the small red barrels) to the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached all parts of the exhaust pipe to the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Back to the plumbing beind the cab. This pipe is part of the exhaust tract. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the blue and orange lights and the loudspeaker to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Completed the turn signals and attached them to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built turn signals for the cab. Despite being ~2mm in size and round, they are made of paper. They are made by shaping the end of a paper tube that is later cut away from the round end. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a loudspeaker that will be mounted on the top of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I started working on additional details for the cab exterior. Here are the sirens and blue & orange lights that will be mounted on the top of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Completed the air intake heads and added them to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Next up are small details on the cab. I'm starting with the air intake heads. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Finally attached the cab to the chassis. The joints move freely and the cab can be lifted to open access to the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added left and right covers for the chassis and the bottom of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Finally glued the floor to the cab. Now the cab is fully closed save for the roof shaft. I could close this as well, but i decided to keep it open until the end in case I need to fix something inside. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

It turned out that with the back seat on, I can't insert the floor into the cab. I had to remove the seat and glue it to the interior of the cab first. Now, fitting the floor should be a lot easier. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the seats to the floor. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built the driver and passenger seats. For some weird reason I didn't take a photo from the other side 😞 #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a cushion for the rear seat and a cushion and a back rests for the central front seat. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Finished the whole surface of the cab floor. Now I "just" need to add the seats and other details. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Extended the tunnel into the central part of the cab floor. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I didn't finish any builds in 2025 but I also didn't quit, so I guess it was an OK year after all 😅
Next up is the floor and seats. It also covers the engine, this part is a tunnel that lets air flow to the engine through the front mask. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the dashboard to the cab and added the front mask. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
