Attached the wheels to the model. Now it's no longer looking like a corgi version of a truck 😄 #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Completed the wheels. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've started gluing sidewalls to the wheels. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've started preparing parts for the remaining 8 wheels. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The spare wheel at its spot on the platform. For now, it's just a dry run. To avoid any accidents, I'll glue it at the end when completing the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Completed the spare wheel. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I started building the first wheel. This one will be the spare tyre resting between the lockers on the platform. I'm keeping the round shape by winding a paper strip around the inner part of the wheel. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

No new parts since the last time, but I've put the cab back on the chassis and took a few photos of the current state. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built rear mudguards for the front axles and attached them to the chassis. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a radio antenna for the platform and attached it to its position on the left locker. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a frame over the tanks. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built canysters for the platform and placed them to the little fence on top of the right locker. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the tyre support to the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Additional support for the spare tyre, with a holder for a spare crane hook. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The locker doors are too fragile to be attached right now, so I put them aside and moved to other things. I've built a top locker for one side and a storage area for canisters for the other. And between them, holders for a spare tyre. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Being just a textured piece of paper, the locker doors felt a bit too simple and flat. so I decided to make handles for all of them out of copper wire and rolled paper. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a storage locker for the right side of the platform, and attached it to its spot. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Made an eye at the end of the rope and attached it to the hook. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a cover for the rope winding mechanism. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I'm making a winch rope for the platform. The rope is a 1mm black cotton string with some metallic paint applied to it. The original black color visible through the paint makes a nice dirt/oily effect. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the storage locker to it's place on the platform. The locker door is holding there by pure willpower for now and I'll glue it once the model is almost complete. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a storage locker for the left side of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the water tank to the platform and added some plumbing to it. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've built a water tank for the front part of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the towrope entry/crane hook rest to the platform. The hook rest freely turns in the base. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've built walls for the hook towrope entry mechanism which also serve as a base for the hook rest. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've built a rest for the crane hook to attach to the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added footrests and a little panel to the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a radio antenna for the platform and attached it to its position on the left locker. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built another pulley for the rope winding mechanism. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
