Atamjeet, There is one available from the papermodelstore.com. I believe the price is still $29.00 US. I am not sure about international shipping, but in the US, the service is around 3-4 days. Ken

Update: The driveshafts are finished and installed. Ken

To all, As you can see, I tend to work fast - the object is to finish the project before losing interest. Yes, Polly is a fan of paper modeling. She especially likes to chew on the ends of my paint brushes, but only when I'm trying to paint something! She also likes to sit on my shoulder and...

I will not glue the assembly to the frame rails yet. If attached too soon, the rear wheels won't contact the ground. These pictures just show the suspension assembly dry fitted to the frame. Note the chain oilers (5 each side). I have the Dragon Wagon Technical Manual - very useful... This...

Well, with Michigan thunderstorms and power outages, I managed to get some work done on the Chassis. Picture 1 - The rear suspension cradles. The rear axles rotate about this pivot point. Pictures 2 and 3 - Parts that comprise the rear suspension assembly Picture 4 - Just a picture of the...

Oh, and Willys also got a share of the production build! :oops: If anyone knows if there is a paper trailer to go with the Jeep, please advise. Ken

Wow Lluis! The Jeep came out FANTASTIC! I must build it now. Very nice job. I wonder if anyone makes the Bantom trailer that goes with the jeep? If my history is correct, Bantom developed the Jeep, but did not have the manufacturing capacity to build them; thus Ford got the contract. For...

Lluis, One of the reasons I avoid trying to build doors, hatches and hoods that actually work is because they are nearly impossible to fit perfectly in all corners. But your build is so "straight" and accurate that the hood fits as if it was glued shut. The gap is perfect! You've done a...

The first picture shows the painted axle glued to the springs. Care was taken to ensure that the axle was mounted correctly so that the front wheels will be centered in the fender openings. The second picture show the front steering spindles and steering arms. The drag link is made from...

And now: The front Axle. Picture 1 - The pieces that make up the axle. Picture 2 - The main axle with the front gear cover (before shaping). Picture 3 - The technique that I use to form spherical parts from petals. I just fill the inside of the petals with lots of glue, then use a...

I'm happy with the edge coloring now. The leaf springs are straight forward as far as the build goes, but they are tricky in a different sense. The English instructions state to glue the leafs to thin cardboard, but neglected to say how thick. The selection of cardboard is critical since the...

More progress: Pictures 1 and 2 - Transfer case Picture 3 - The endcaps for the air brake reservoirs (I believe). Per Charliec's recommendation, I tried the "soak in alcohol" method of softening the paper to aid in bending the paper in 2 directions. IT WORKS! The endcaps are round without...

I made a little progress on the Dragon Wagon. Picture 1 - Shows the front winch. I will attach the spool later. Picture 2 - The cab floor and frame reinforcements Picture 3 - The engine/transmission Picture 4 - The air filters Ken

Johnny, Another great model! I bow to the master..... Ken

Looks nice so far! Clean work. I hope to see this one completed. Ken

Maybaygiay, I was just wondering how your build was going. We have not heard from you in awhile. Hope you are OK. Ken

I improvise flaps as well. Sometimes I even use pieces of wood. It gives you 2 good surfaces to glue against and is really solid. The can looks good! Ken

OK - Here we go! The model calls for .5 mm cardboard underneath the frame parts. But I couldn't figure out how to minimize the resulting corners. So I embedded pieces of balsa wood inside the frame rails instead. But this created a gap between the flanges (see picture 3). This was filled...

Jim, These models are tough enough in 1/25th! But I guess the challenge is what it is all about; right? I thought about turning wheels on the dremel, but I always thought it would take too long. Birch is a fairly hard wood. I have a friend at work who has a HUGE collection of 1:35 armor...

Dragos, This is a very clean build, considering how small the model is. Is the wheel printed with the treads, or did you construct or carve it? It will look great on the model. Ken
