A detailed view of the roof of the cab with the sirens attached and covered by the cage.

Attached the sirens to the roof of the cab and built a protective cage for them. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Fitted the air filters to the model (the small red barrels) to the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

One side of the pipe.

Back to the plumbing beind the cab. This pipe is part of the exhaust tract. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

A view of the front/left side of the cab.

Completed the turn signals and attached them to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The turn signals halfway through their production. The left two still have the paper tube attached, the right two are in their final state.

Built turn signals for the cab. Despite being ~2mm in size and round, they are made of paper. They are made by shaping the end of a paper tube that is later cut away from the round end. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The back side of the loudspeaker.

The bottom side of the loudspeaker.

The front side of the loudspeaker.

Built a loudspeaker that will be mounted on the top of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

That's a healthy approach and it should be the norm. Don't let people force themselves into your day.

That said, I probably don't follow a bunch of people that would deserve it, but I'll fix that over time.

The rear side of the sirens.

The front side of the horns.

I started working on additional details for the cab exterior. Here are the sirens and blue & orange lights that will be mounted on the top of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The front view of the truck. The air intake heads are visible over the cab.

A detailed view of the air intake heads over the cab.

A view of the back of the cab with the air intake heads.

Completed the air intake heads and added them to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Nice and clean🧹👍

Cleaner than most public toilets I've seen out there 🙃

Next up are small details on the cab. I'm starting with the air intake heads. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

No worries, as far as papercraft goes, I've got your back.

Thank you!☺️

Thank you!☺️ Not sure I'm an artist, I'm just a cut & paste guy 😅

Díky!☺️ Fakt dobrej je původní autor, já to jenom stříhám a lepím 🙂

It's not too bad if you take it in small bites🙃

A photo of the truck with the cab lifted, viewed from the left/back.

A photo of the whole truck with the cab in the normal position.

A detailed view of the lifted cab and the engine underneath it.

Finally attached the cab to the chassis. The joints move freely and the cab can be lifted to open access to the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

A bottom view of the cab with the covers.

A detailed view of the bottom of the cab, including joints for attaching it to the chassis and a pipe.

A rear/right view of the cab.

Added left and right covers for the chassis and the bottom of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Bad things happen when you have a lamp with a magnifying glass and you're not careful about sunshine. Fortunately, nothing caught fire and the hole is close to the side of the mat, so I don't need to shop for a new one.

Front view of the completed cab.

A view of the bottom of the cab.

The right/rear view of the cab.

The left view of the cab.

Finally glued the floor to the cab. Now the cab is fully closed save for the roof shaft. I could close this as well, but i decided to keep it open until the end in case I need to fix something inside. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The cab floor with the rear seat removed. It got a bit fluffy, but most of the fluffiness will be hidden by the seat anyway.

The cab with the back seat cushion inserted.

A view of the inside of the cab with the back seat inserted.

It turned out that with the back seat on, I can't insert the floor into the cab. I had to remove the seat and glue it to the interior of the cab first. Now, fitting the floor should be a lot easier. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Now that is some history! 👍

Attached the seats to the floor. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built the driver and passenger seats. For some weird reason I didn't take a photo from the other side 😞 #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The top side of the chushions and back rests.

The bottom/rear side of the cushions and back rests.

Built a cushion for the rear seat and a cushion and a back rests for the central front seat. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

all the work in the living room without worrying about fresh air. But if things change and I get an airbrush and a good space to use the chemicals, I'll definitely try some plastic kits.

Thank you!😊 I used to build (trash) a lot of plastic kits when I was a kid and I love watching everyone's builds and progress here, but I'm not sure I'll get back to it anytime soon. I don't have the tools (and skills) and I like that with paper, I can make one very small bit at a time and I can do

The locomotive together with the trailer. Now that the model is completed, I'll be back to the Tarta build from next week on. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels
