Cereal Box Tanks: T-34
Posted by AKTANKS on Sunday, November 20, 2011 5:39 PM

hey FSM readers,

I'm having too much fun making these little HD slideshows out of my tank projects. This tank is from 2006 and the youtube slideshow is only 41 seconds long: LINK AT BOTTOM OF POST

Featured in Fine Scale Modeler 7/08:

"Don't ask the manufacturer of Kristopher's T-34- it's built almost entirely from cereal boxes. Tired of following kit instructions, he dove into this project with photographs, a hobby knife, and acrylic paint. Kristopher's Alaskan driveway provides the Eastern Front setting." - Kelly Shaw/FSM

WWII Russian T-34/76
1/35 Scale
Built in 2006

720p HD slideshow was made with Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Express.

It,s nice to see someone with the courage to work out of the box? Or is that with the box ? I have entertained my children (long grown now) with boats and sailing ships made of cereal boxes from the old KELLOG multi-pack cereal pacages . This means that ,YES the ability to create is alive and well in our country .Your tanks are great stuff . You show the courage that real modeling  is a CREATIVE art . Now how about a neat model of a STURMGESCHUTZ ? I think you could do it justice .      tankerbuilder

hey thanks so very much for your kind words. that really made my day!
I'm glad you appreciate the work that i've been doing. It sounds like you and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to model building. :)

Looks great!  I've used card stock for pieces of models, but never made a whole model from the stuff.  Your project gives me an inclination to give it a try.  I have some good card stock in my stash.

DON,this is just for you.I have in my inventory of collectibles a ship.NOT just any ship,but a U.S. BATTLESHIP! Now here,s the clincher,its a papermodel! It is from 1942! and it,s so far from accurate as to give a perfectionist modeler a heart attack! I picked it up at a bookstore in CROCKETT ,CALIFORNIA years ago(15) and still look at it with wonder.

I do wonder why more haven,t shown up on the marketplace .This thing has got to be rare! Do you remember them?Two box tops and a dime would get you one,really!  They were in dark navy blue too!I just wanted to see if you,ve ever seen any and what kind of condition they were in.I also have a KALMBACH book about the AMERICAN fleet and the publish date was 1942. Tell me what you think ,okay?       TANKERbuilder
