Introduction...

Hi all, I am just a WWII tank fanatic who has been making all types of tanks out of cardboard since 2005, and due to developments in construction this blog has been constructed to show the evolution of production...

To start with, I would like to answer some FAQs...

Q: How do u get measurements for your scale?
A: If u studied in Singapore and gotten to secondary 2, there is a chapter called 'Similarity and Congruent'. With that chapter you can virtually make any model you desire.

Q: Where do you get your blueprints? Do you draw them?
A: Sadly, no. I am not a born artist. I just download them into powerpoint slides and print them out. To name just a few websites there are:

-www.onwar.com/tanks
-http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/1-Vehicles/Vehicles.htm

Q: What are your tools of the trade?
A: A 30cm long ruler, rubber handle scissors (you will know why later!), a compass, long nose pliers, cardboard, satay sticks, metal wires, masking tape, straws(7mm & 5mm), UHU glue, pencil & calculator.

Q: What inspired you?
A: Boredom, plus i remembered that my brother last time had a solid model of a tank made out of cardboard as well, and to mention, stress...

Q: How long does it take you to make a tank?
A: Depends on my mood...(I mean if I am stressed or not, not cuz I am a girl and have mood swings.)

Q: Do you have any other productions?
A: Yes... Artillery and Aircraft of WWII, however their numbers are in a ratio of 10:1 when compared to tanks so they are not worth a blog yet...

That sums up the introduction I guess...Lets move on...
