But anyway, a great project and an awesome result.
More not-paper than i use myself - but especially tracks&wheels are exactly the parts where i ask myself every time why i did them in paper... again.
Next time, i will do something else. Perhaps resin...
Thank you so much for sharing your way to do the plasma coils! Screw-imprint on putty... great! Just what i was looking for!

Thanks Roger! I started this build at the beginning of March, so pretty much 3 months at this point. Maybe 2 or 3 hours @ 5 nights per week, but we did take 2 weeks or so to go skiing and camping. So maybe all up about 120 hours or so, but the error margin on that estimate is high.
Yes, this is definitely a mixed media project rather than a papercraft build, but the members in this forum have been most forgiving to my builds in the past, and I thought some would like to see this.
Glad you liked the plasma coils, yeah I've been playing with different ways to make screws in order to make ribbed cables, and it occurred to me that I could roll a piece of sculpey out with a long bolt, and carefully bend the sculpey around the shape I wanted. In the past I've used other methods to get plasma coils, but I'm pretty happy with this method.

Thanks Don! Yes, it definitely needs that coat of paint before it'll look like much
I had to go one better on my previous tank tracks, I know you liked those so I thought you'd be interested in seeing these. Your support and encouragement are greatly appreciated!
