A while back I made a fairly detailed paper/carboard model of a T30 Heavy Tank (basically a T29 with a different engine and a 155mm T7 gun).  This one has been dolled up quite a bit, with a headlight on top of the gun barrel, smoke grenade launchers on each side of the turret, and a basket bustle hanging off the back of the turret.  Crude but it seems to have appeal in its own way.  The scale is 1 inch = 10 feet if I remember right, or about 1:120.

That's paper/card as well as being tiny ?  :bow:

Yes, it is.  Some of the details were made using hot glue and even thin string.  I painted the string with black acrylic, and when it dried it was stiff enough for antennas and machine gun barrels.

Interesting idea! As much as I'm into working with tiny parts those tiny parts in paper could be just too much for me! Nice work.

Yeah I only did a few tank models at this scale and level of detail before I got tired of all the hassle.  Maybe I'll do some modern ones at some point.
