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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Front/left view of the cab floor with the seats on.

Rear view of the cab floor and the seats.

Front/right view of the cab floor with the seats.

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

The bottom side of the cab floor, with the air tunnel.

The top part of the cab floor, viewed from the front.

The top part of the cab floor, viewed from the back.

Finished the whole surface of the cab floor. Now I "just" need to add the seats and other details. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I hope your new year started well, the hangover is over and you're ready for today's micro-dose of papercraft.

Extended the tunnel into the central part of the cab floor. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Rear/bottom view of the tunnel.

Rear/top view of the tunnel.

Rear/top view of the tunnel from the other side.

Front view of the tunnel.

I didn't finish any builds in 2025 but I also didn't quit, so I guess it was an OK year after all 😅
Next up is the floor and seats. It also covers the engine, this part is a tunnel that lets air flow to the engine through the front mask. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
