Stalinetz 65 crawler

[waynehulsey]

Been working on this for over a year off and on. Finally getting track links together so been moving on to other parts. Figured if I could get the tracks done the rest would be simple in comparison.

Trying to get going on this again. Have done some work.

[waynehulsey]

A few more things. Mainly pieces of the track links and assembly on them.

Holy macaroni!

What IS that thing? A tractor or bulldozer or something? - And you are working in paper? All respect to you! I couldn't do that even if I wanted to. Keep us posted though.

It's a Soviet copy of a Cat 65. It is a freebie download from a Russian paper modelers site. Using a mixture of 20lb copy paper and 110lb cardstock with pieces of wire, wood, Plastruct hex rods (one of the all time great model building inventions) and anything else that I think will work.  My level of sanity has been often questioned, this only brings it up more.

Very nice job so far!

[waynehulsey]

Thanks Marcin. See you're from Poland so assume you're probably pretty familiar with card models. Will have to put some photos up on the Ursus tractor from Modelik that I'm also working on.

More Stalinets.

Um, actually no. I've started with them long time ago, but now, I don't know how do You (cardboard modellers) do it! It's much more complicated than plastic/resin.

Will have to put some photos up on the Ursus tractor from Modelik that I'm also working on.

Ursus! C330? Coool!

EDIT: I've found Your mugsmug, it's C45. We've got one in our Museum of Technology in Szczecin.

Sorry for offtop!

Thanks, can always use more reference photos. Guess I'll start a separate thread to show the Ursus.

Trying to get back with the program on this.
