Easy & Basic House

Post by Tankbear »

He's my quick guide to easy house.

First take cardboard package and two lids from a A4 paper supplier. (most offices will get them)

Image

Cut the two lids and stick together to form a 90 degree angle then cut the rest to suit the roof shape.

Image

Then find some basic brick and roof tile images off the internet and make it cover an A3 sheet of paper. Print out on A3 paper then glue to the box.

Image

Scale wise probably too small for a house but is large enough to hide a tank behind so cannot be shot.

Image

I'm going to add doors and windows in same way as I had the walls & roof but haven't yet decided to do to scale or so it looks correct for the box size.

Think a log cabin would look good but think the pattern be difficult to match on edges so we see.

No more buildings built, just haven't had timw with working on the tanks. I'm at moment making a panzerturm from spare parts complete with IR firing (hopefully automatic) so will post that when I figure a few bits out.

The tanks are 1:16.

Hey Ian, which turret did you end up using on the Panzerturm ? I used my old HL Panther G for one but was almost tempted to get a Pantiger just to get the Panther A turret which would have be more accurate.
