If you didn't knock knock, you're fine 😉

In fact, I don't see a lot of scale modelers there at all and I got tired of trying to find some :(

I ATE'NT DEAD!

Just too busy with work and some deadlines. By the end of April, it should be done, then vacations. And when June comes, I should be back.

Otherwise, the only other nice place I'm aware of is Mastodon and I don't see too many people there.

I've been having these thoughts exactly for way too long. So when I saw it on a shelf, it was love at first sight🙃

I didn't need to use it yet, but I feel much safer knowing it's there.

Jokes aside: you can get a small fire extinguisher safe for many kinds of fire (including electrical ones) for ~20€, check out your local hardware store. If you do any crafting at home, it might come handy 😉🔥🧯

I forgot to attach the photos to the previous post, so there they are. I really need those vacations😅

Original post: Built more hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

post a lot. Then I'll be back to building, I hope.

Built more hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

All work and no play makes @papiracky.bsky.social a dull boy, I barely have time to check the feed these days. I have a deadline in a few weeks, then vacations - until I get back, I might not

A detailed view of the hinges.

Attached the hinges with the pegs to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The pegs that will be used to the hinges.

Built pegs for the hinges. The pegs are built from copper wires of different widths. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

When the color fits, they're excellent for masking paper edges (I'm using the red one a lot). But that's not the most common use case when you're building from plastic.

The completed lights with the cage on them.

The lights before adding the cage.

Built blue lights for the back of the cab. The lights are again protected by a cage. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

🤐

No, it's not paper, the hook is painted copper wire🙃

The hook for the tow rope attached just below a light.

Added a hook that will be used for attaching a tow rope. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added tail lights to the rear part of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

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.

Nice and clean🧹👍

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