Chev Blitz Army Truck

[Dingo]

This little rig is made of cardstock and took me about 2 weeks to build, the tyres have tread that have been cut and glued to the rest of each wheel and each wheel is made of 4 parts.

This is what the wheels look like before being assembled.

That is amazing! really looks good!

Thanks Foxer, once you know how to build them they are easy to do the only thing you have to remeber is to keep ya finger clean of glue and if you use sup glue not to stick to it.

WOW Dingo, that's cool! With all those flat panels, it looks like it wouldn't be to hard to build in plastic! It sure is unique! Who knows, maybe I'll try it! Yours looks great!

[Dingo]

Thanks George, I hope you do give it a go but remember it will take a lot of ink from the printer and if the family uses it for other printing as well they might just kcik up a stink wehn you out of ink. It is good fun and it took me about 4 months before I got to where I was game enough to show my builds on the net, I do have a few wrecks in my den/hobby room. I wish more plastic model builders would try cardstock (paper) just to see how easy plastic is.

So you printed the panels on your own printer at home? Wow! I see what you mean by difficult.

Is there a program for setting up the printer for each panel?

Pretty cool! I don't think I'll be doing this anytime soon, but maybe sometime.

[Dingo]

fordh8r no is no need to set up the printer to print of any of my models as they are printed straight onto A4 cardstock.

Dingo,

I hear you about the difficulty of cardstock models. I tried the Mayflower once, and it was a disaster.

Didn't I see this & the Freightliner on another forum? They look familiar.

[Dingo]

Jim, it's possible you have seen those 2 trucks on another forum I am on about 4 or 5 other forums but have quit a couple of them now, it's just been so impossible for me to keep up with them so I've picked the best and stayed with those.
