Hi guys!

If you remember my last cretion:
http://www.fighting118th.com/forum/military-vehicle-customs/6868-shoebox-m939-truck.html

Well...I've been back in Hungary for August...and decided to do a long dated idea of making an easy cheap and fast-builded HUMMVEE model out of cardboard.

For the main parts I used 2 type of cardboard. The wider one for main parts and a thinner one for making a support details.
On the other hand I used toothpicks, drinking straws, plastic circle from the bottleneck as a steering wheel, 2 little pieces from a pen ink straw as MG handles.

And of course pre-printed parts wich I took from this outstanding paper model:
Promotional Free Paper Models

All in all it took me 1,5-2 week to build it up. Its ufinished (lack of color cartrdiges in printer and such things). But I decided to leave it as is. I like that there are no doors..looks like a fast deploying vehicle. =)

So..hope you'll like it...WIP photos are below =)

P.S.: I just want to show that there are no limits for us if we need something. If we cant buy it - we will make it on our own.

Finally I figured out how to make it the roof so it can rotates 360. its easy and pretty fun actually. =)) You need 2 circles wich is a bit wider on the outside and a bit smaller from the inside against the whole in roof...The whole in the roof you have to make it smooth ..so the cardboard pieces wich will connect the upper circle to the lower one could rotate without a doubt. =)

Really great work on that. It looks fantastic. Cardcraft/papercraft is an often overlooked and underrated medium. I am a big fan of it.
