Hi there,
It has been a few year since my activity on this forum. Some older modelers should remember me from this forum and "Cardmodelers" (now Zealot?). I see a lot of this has changed in this forum, new system, new structure, new boards, etc. I wonder where are all those old threads? It shows that I have 270+ posts, but I cannot find my old threads and galleries anywhere.
Then I was a student and an active forum member. But university times started, now work, family, with wife we are expecting a baby in a few weeks, so I abandoned forums. I'd only came to check the beautiful works by other modelers.
I started serious cycling, with competitions, I also attend RC car competitions, fly and scratch build RC aircraft, especially love FPV (first person view flight).
But I never forgot paper modeling! During these silent last years I've built a lot of planes, sailplanes and now I started loving vehicles, especially tank-destroyers.
Enough. I would like to present my little work. It is a polish tank destroyer TKS-D built on TKS tankette's chassis. Only a few were produced and their fate is unknown after the 1939 attack on Warsaw.
Model is a very small one, only 10cm long.
There won't be any photo-build, only a short gallery. Only I would like to show a cutting process of tracks, where I had to cut more than 1500 holes, smaller than 1x1mm, from a few tiny stripes. [Blocked Image: http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif]

And here I provide size comparison with my nearly complete SU-85 (85mm tank destroyer built on T-34 tank chassis). 29 tonnes vs. 2.5 tonnes. [Blocked Image: http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif]
