• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Card model recommendation

From around ten years ago, I am adopting the card model as "important material" in order to "produce a 1/6 scale model".

The card model, which is a plan view, is more convenient for us than the "books and net" materials and plastic models all over the world.

I will extend the 1/25 scale model to 440% and use it.
Because our figure is not a 1/6 scale

Because figure size is 12 inches = 30 cm.
If you increase the size by 6, the height will be 180 cm.
75 years ago, a height of 180 cm corresponds to a large man.

When figure soldiers ride in the car, it is very cramped.
I can not sit on the driving seat by chance.
Therefore, we need to expand AFV by 10% in order to "fit the vehicle to the scale of figures".

Wow those Halinski models are mind boggling in detail! Better or as good as any plastic model. The tank tracks are amazingly realistic. Hard to fathom its paper. Super cool. I think I'd loose what sanity I have left putting all those tiny paper bits together to make a cockpit or track link.

I'm surprised embossed card hasn't been used for model buildings like it's been so successfully used in the smaller scale model railways.
 
If it wasnt the paper models shared in the internet I wold never be able to build any of my vehicles. When I was about 13 years my father found thouse polacs Paper models in the internet, like Modelik, GPM, Halinski, fly, and many others, and it was simple, just change the scale!
I use CorelDraw to vectorize the models, make the arrandgments and needed changes, and its it!
It would be impossible for me to do a Dodge Ambulance without the Paper Kartonowy.
I Highly recomend to use them, and I would be very glad to help anyone to find a specific model, a good one or to help doindg the needed changes for the 1/6 scale!
here some of the models Ive did and the paper models used.

Hi jubalula!


Congratulations to your first class models!


I have never thought of such cardboard-templates.


I want to build an Opel Blitz. So I'll deal with the corresponding cardboard model.
Does anyone know if there is a cardboard model of the Panzer III, which also includes the Maybach engine?


Best regards

@ jubalula: Thank you for information.

@ YAS: Please post some pictures if you build your ordered model.


Greetings

YAS you are a very skilled modeler, I have seen many of your builds and photo shoots posted here and on Facebook, I have only one question....Where does one store a platoon of Marder's in addition to all your other vehicles? :rock:
 
Today, goods arrived from Shanghai.
Paper quality is thick.
I satisfied this.
I will attach this to the plywood board.
