EDU Craft's 1/144 scale Apollo Era Crawler/Transporter (CT)

Making a start on my next EDU Craft Diversions paper model, the Apollo Era Crawler Transporter or CT.
This will be sitting under my previous paper Shuttle MLP model.
After completing the Sub-Support structure (using Foam Core board) it's taken me 2 days just to scribe, cut, fold and fit all the girders under each of the "top skins".
That's only 2 pages done .......

Nice and steady with this model ........

I've now made and fitted the tow fuel tanks and four Radiator/Motors.

I've now completed building all of the Tractors and treads for the Outboard Tractors.
Is there a substance I can apply to the windows of the Driver's Cabins to make them look more like glass?

Hi Dave,
you can use transparency film, but there is also paper-thin glass.

A lot of packaging these days comes in or with clear plastic that's very useful.

Have fun with this build, I did. My next mountain to climb will come this spring when I tackle Microartworks Crawler in 1/96th scale. I have been told this build will take at least a year or better. Enjoying watching you make progress.

I've now glued all of the Tractor assemblies in place and I think I've lined them all up correctly.
I'll be trying a product soon that brushes over the paper window and sets .... or, is meant to set glassy smooth.

Hydraulics are all done.
Now it's time for all the walkways and stairs ...... just as soon as I build them all .....

Making a start on the paper walkways.....
