Built a shovel. The handle is made from real wood (from a toothpick sanded to the right diameter), the blade is from paper shaped by the toothpick and painted with a metallic pain. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've started building a couple of tools that are normally carried on the platform. Started with a small ladder made out of copper wire and paper footrests. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added canisters to their place on the platform. In the finished model, they are protected by a cover and they are barely visible. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The canisters are now hidden under the cover.

Built doors and hinges for the storage compartments. At this stage, I've built them but I'll wait with attaching them until the model is almost complete to avoid breaking them. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the wheels to the model. Now it's no longer looking like a corgi version of a truck 😄 #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I have a dilemma: participate in #italiaGB (and order a new kit) or stay true to #buildthestash and keep not buying any kits this year? So far, the latter is winning, in part because I'm lazy and it feels silly to order a €1.5 kit and pay €10 for shipping 😅

The spare wheel at its spot on the platform. For now, it's just a dry run. To avoid any accidents, I'll glue it at the end when completing the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I started building the first wheel. This one will be the spare tyre resting between the lockers on the platform. I'm keeping the round shape by winding a paper strip around the inner part of the wheel. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The locker doors are too fragile to be attached right now, so I put them aside and moved to other things. I've built a top locker for one side and a storage area for canisters for the other. And between them, holders for a spare tyre. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Being just a textured piece of paper, the locker doors felt a bit too simple and flat. so I decided to make handles for all of them out of copper wire and rolled paper. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The locker doors with the handles attached.

Work in progress on the handles: a set of tweezers over a cutting mat, each holding a door handle that is trying before I attach it to the door parts.

I'm making a winch rope for the platform. The rope is a 1mm black cotton string with some metallic paint applied to it. The original black color visible through the paint makes a nice dirt/oily effect. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I've built a rest for the crane hook to attach to the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The hook rest from one side, held in tweezers over a cutting mat. The rest is a half-circle with a metal frame around the round parts and joints along the circle diameter at the straight side.

The hook rest visible from the other side. It's symmetrical and looks prety much the same from both sides.

I moved the model too rashly and the cab tore off from the chassis, I guess it's too heavy for the tiny hinges. I hope the cab on real trucks holds better😅 Fortunately, nothing is broken. I'll keep it off for now for easier manipulation. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the towrope guide to the back of the platform. The guide can turn freely, though in practice on the model, its position will be fixed by the position of the rope on the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
