Hey Briz , can you update us on the types of material being used for the last few photos please?? I can't tell what's paper, cardboard or plastic !! But I like it !! Sure! I will start from the first picture on top of this page. -Steering/crank mount. The center piece white/brick color, is thin cardboard. The two black rod are wood (from a old brush). The rest of the parts are plastic. Plus some metal pins that secure teh two rods and front tires. -Front tires, are all cardboard, except the central pin, and the three red rivets. The bolt on the center is metal. -Rear tires. The esternal rim is plastic, the internal rim is thin cardboard, they are glued together. Spokes are made out of thin cardboard, behind them for stability and strenght, I glued a piece of metal wire that connect with a round disk on the back. One spoke on each tires as you can see has a piece of wire that go trough the rims, this will help to glue the tractor to the base. The center part of the tires, is alluminum and was pretty difficult to make, because of it "wave" shape. On the center there is a couple of plastic cylinders, on the bak of them there is a hole for connect with the rear axle. -Floor pan, this is made out of thin cardboard. -The rear end of the tractor. The rear axle is wood with metal pins for the tires and cardboard white stripes. The round piece in front of the rear axle is plastic, the white collar on it is thin cardboard. The grey piece on the back and the belt pulley on the side are plasitic. The gas tank is cardboard, filler neck wood from a brush. Chassis, hood, radiator are in cardboard. The light grey intake is plastic. Hope it helps, I can post more descriptive picture about the material, in the future. |

Hey Staryeyes, I'm not waitin' for the contest to start... I cast my vote for Brizio And I don't even like contests... I'm not sure if seein' Brizio's awesome build makes me want to step up my game or quit buildin'... Brizio, Thanks you very much for showing and explaining your build. What are you usin' as glue on the cardboard? Not only are you thinkin' out of the box you're usin' the box...Very inspiring!

I'm the same way with paper & cardboard. I'll be thinking about them in a different way now that Brizio has showed us we can build with them. Thanks for opening my eyes to more building materials. |

I grew up in a small town without hobby shop, so I start to build models using what I found in the house. Thank you! |

I'm very comfortable using paper on my model cars, It can be tricky sometime, but it works for me. I think also any other material you have in the house can be re-used on a model build. Thank yoU! |
