Hi all

In the continuing development of my 15mm paper vehicles I've put up two more
pictures. This time it's the main hover tank model. I've also experimented
with a camo pattern (although my printer is dying so it didn't come out as
crisp as I wanted) and with reactive armour as little stick on boxes.

Let me know what you think.

assume you can't make it _much_ thinner or it'll get bent too easily.
Might be interesting to make a triangular cross-sectioned one, though.)

Hmmm yeah I guess I made the barrel quite fat so it was easier to put
together. There is also the bias towards big sci fi weapons! A typical round
barrel is obviously harder to glue together but more accurate.

I'll continue to experiment with the turret.

General size of the tank ok?

I'd say so, yes, for most settings. For more "high-tech" I'd probably
want to go with a lower profile but that's fairly setting-specific.
