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
