Could you a use them as a template to cut them in styrene and just keep the parts that have details on them?
Doing it in CAD and printing allows me to get the edges of the blates bevelled at the correct angle, and gives me a fighting chance to get the angles correct without needing any internal structure to act as formers:

The only down side is that you need a trained Octopus to assemble the thing for you
I don't think I'd want to try this in styrene sheet unless I had a router table to cut all of the pieces for me

Yeah I hear you on the beveled edges, that's the challenge when you have to bevel the styrene plates yourself at odd angles!
Yes it should be a nightmare to glue! Taping all the parts together and using extra thin CA is how I would approach it!
Keep up the good work!

I didn't think of using sticky tape - I just did my normal "go piling in and see what happens.."

You got some great trucks in display mate, I live the V2 camo!
Not sure if the Stuart is yours but what's that white camo?
