The Milton Keynes show always has a huge table full of card models and they are fantastic. Been sorely tempted myself for a few years.

Thank you very much. I really love paper and cardboard, because these materials enable you to work absolutely free while being super precise. Not that I don't like plastic models (I have a pretty big stash  ), but I also have this passion in my blood for constructing my own Ideas and paper is a wonderful material for that.

a very small update. It's really far from getting near to finished...



This will definately take some time. These are straightened paperclips for the torsion bars, of course that's not their final shape... I set myself the goal to give this tank a working suspension, so that's the first step.

for a moment I thought you were doing a "walker" there,  then as I read the description it twigged and I went "aghh!"   very clever, very elegant, and now its been pointed out a simple solution as well      Top Job!

Over four years since Vorcha's last post?

How did this one turn out, Vorcha? Or are you still "working" on it?

(I know you're out there, I checked & you were here yesterday! )

Hi, thanks. I'm out here alright, and still craving for it in my soul. :,)
I had however some really challenging times come on me. I got personal problems... the ones of the psychological kind. I had them before that too, but it intensified... 2016 was depressing, 2017 was uncomfortable, 2018 was ugly, 2019 I called "apocalyptic", until there came 2020... 2019 and 2020 were my two years of hell... until April 2021, when I quit my job. I moved to another city. I'm now in therapy. Things get better. Maybe I'll have the motivation to build again in a few months, I hope so. After all, this is my hobby, this was my love from childhood. I really hope to be at building models again soon. Thanks.

My sentiments, too! All the best & never forget that we're here as a shoulder to cry on, or to vent or rant at if required.
