Let's say I want to start my leopard 2A4 revolution soon, what materials do I use that is beginner friendly, and what tools are needed. I want my new tank to be made out of something other than cardboard, something that will last, take a few hits (accidental falls ect) without much damage.[though I have noticed cardboard bounces back quite nicely :D dropped my T-90SM off the the deep freeze the other day, and it just bounced, took it like a champ....except for the decorational radio receiver chord] but I'd like advice on what to use, I don't have access to a 3D printer sadly.

Modern Tanks are all flat panels even the Turret and as Plasti-card comes in various thicknesses, That would be my first choice.
It takes a pin vise and is good with Super glue and any and all craft tools will work it.
The product is not as fragile as might be first thought and it is both widely available and relatively cheap.
