That's probably not technically a paper model - however, even using transparent acetate for windows disqualifies a model from being "paper model".
So go on with the thread, people here are interested in nice work. Put some explanations too for interesting parts of the work, even if they are just google-translations from Italian to English.
As for your models not being pure paper, don't worry - many models are build with wire, toothpicks, clear canopies, non-paper weights for flying models, metal foils, general usage paint (instead of paper ink or colours or crayons or ...), and there was even a very interesting thread about building planes without "cone to cone" transitions (cardboard skeleton filled with some kind of foam - EPP maybe, then sanded down and covered with paper).
So, we're waiting for progress reports

Enrico,
A very interesting and challenging subject! I am interested in the way you handled the cab. It appears that you created a core from foam, then built a paper shell around it, and then hollowed it out leafing only a thin bit of foam within the paper. Excellent! And yes, this certainly qualifies as a paper model if you use paper as the primary medium. Looking forward to following this one!

Paper or not, who cares, this is incredible! I thought it was the real thing! Incredible to see what some people can make!

Enrico,
This is the start of a fine model. But what has really caught my attention is the Sherman tank build that is going on in the background! The turret and road wheels looks fantastic. I'd like to see more of that one as well.
Keep up the good work and welcome to the forum!

hallo!

@ Calinous: tanks for thr clarification!
@ Zathros: tanks
@ Kevin : tanks for appreciation. To see the sherman finished click the link in my signature, but it takes patience, because it is a long thread.
@ Bclemens: the form of the cab is made with high-density polystyrene.Then layers of paper glued with white glue (vinavil).

some photos of the processing of the cab form and fenders



















tell me if they are too long

bye!

There have been a lot of discussions about making compound shapes in paper. You have shown, as have a couple of others, how its done. Incredible, you have posted so much with so few words, and just the right amount of pictures, what could take years to learn.

That's wonderful, is the original actually used or is a parade truck?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is used. There are some really tight walkway/roads in some of these small, ancient towns. That would be just the ticket for getting into it.

I'm not wanting to derail the thread, but the narrowest street in the world is Spreuerhofstraße in Reutlingen. Its width (or lack of) varies between 31 and 50 cm (12 to 20 inches).

What I wanted to ask was how did you do the beautiful wheel fenders? There's a solid core of foam protected by metallic foil, and the paper is shaped over that. Did you un-glue the foil afterward? If so, how? What glue? This is the first time I've seen this kind of modeling, and beside looking very interesting, seem to be perfect for very sharp and continuous shapes

Oh, and when hollowing the cab, did you cut it in halves and put the halves together afterwards?
