Built doors and hinges for the storage compartments. At this stage, I've built them but I'll wait with attaching them until the model is almost complete to avoid breaking them. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I started building the first wheel. This one will be the spare tyre resting between the lockers on the platform. I'm keeping the round shape by winding a paper strip around the inner part of the wheel. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The locker doors are too fragile to be attached right now, so I put them aside and moved to other things. I've built a top locker for one side and a storage area for canisters for the other. And between them, holders for a spare tyre. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Being just a textured piece of paper, the locker doors felt a bit too simple and flat. so I decided to make handles for all of them out of copper wire and rolled paper. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
The locker doors with the handles attached. Work in progress on the handles: a set of tweezers over a cutting mat, each holding a door handle that is trying before I attach it to the door parts.
