Hello companions,
Today I bring to you another limited progress with the Willys.
In Photo 254 I show to you the pieces that I have finished until now. The frame, the wheels, the engine and the body. The photo only lacks the axes of the wheels (it is that I forgot them).
254. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1E485E25222A4819E0212D4819DE59.jpg]
In Photo 255 you can see the pieces that I am going to mount next. But while, I have cut and given form to the wires that hold the axes of the wheels to the frame, as you can see in Photo 256. And in Photo 257 I have already placed all the wires in its place.

And now comes one of those works that likes very much to all us, truth? A bunch of miniature pieces. What you see in Photo 258 are the pieces that form the universal joint of the transmission to the axes of the wheels. They are two pieces in U shape that are glued by its ends to a piece in the form of cross. Of these pieces there is a total of four, two for each axis of transmission (front and back wheels) and each one of the four have two pieces in the form of U. Each piece in the form of U have two pieces of paper (front and back). You can imagine how I have enjoyed cutting and sticking all these miniatures. So that later it passes unnoticed in the assembly this great work. But what can we do, our hobby is like this, truth?

In Photo 259 you can see one of the pieces, totally finished and the other three in process of glueing. In Photo 260 I have stuck a part of the U to the piece in the form of cross and in Photo 261 you can see the four finished pieces.

Really that has been a very heavy work.
Tomorrow I promise you more.
Greetings.
Hello companions,
I promised more and here I am. Now it is the turn to mount the buckets of the axes, to which the wheels, the direction and the arms of transmission of the gear box, fix to the axes of the wheels.
In the Photo 262 the pieces which I am going to fulfill this phase. You may observe the four pieces of previous post that, between all the others, almost get unnoticed (but the work that is there!).
262. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/29485F2C1C2B481AE72326481AE553.jpg]
In Photo 263 I have stuck the three pieces that will form the direction. They are those that have so visible the white points. One is behind the frame and it is not seen.
263. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2A485F2C1D24481AE72527481AE554.jpg]
In Photo 264 I have stuck the box of gear of the steering wheel. Look that a straight piece of paper connects this box with the arms of the L of the direction, on the front axis.
264. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2C485F2C1F27481AE72829481AE556.jpg]
In Photo 265 I offer to you a general view of the frame until this moment. In it the buckets of fixation of the wheels are appraised. I had stuck these before, but the four are better seen here. The frame continues maintaining itself balanced perfectly, without no inclination, on the four crossbows and shock absorbers.
265. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2D485F2C2029481AE72A2A481AE557.jpg]
In Photo 266 I already have stuck the two rods of wire that connect the L of the direction with stringers that move the wheels. Look that on each end of the rods I have placed a piece of round paper. Of these pieces there were only two in kit, thats why I have had to print several more until having one for each location.
266. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2E485F2C212B481AE72C19481AE558.jpg]
In Photo 267 I am sticking the radiator of the engine in its place on the frame. No problem here.
267. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/26485F2C2224481AE72E1A481AE559.jpg]
And finally in the sequence of Photos 268 to 271 I offer you a general view of the state of the Willys until this moment. This already begins to look like a vehicle! After so many weeks working, it seems that already I see something of light, not the one at the end of the tunnel, but at least, something of light. In these photographies you can see that I have also stuck the axes of communications of shaft thrust of the wheels, with the pieces that I have mentioned several times.

Well, now it follows the body. I will maintain upgraded to you.
Until then, greetings to all.
Hi Lluis-san,
Reading your explanation thoroughly, I feel like I can make a vehicle that has tires
Yu-san, thank you for your kind words.
You are building a vehicle with steel "tires". I am sure you can build a vehicle with soft tires.
Try it and share the build with us. Sure, we are going to learn a lot with your build, as with all your other builds. :yahoo:
Greetings.
Hello companions,
Today another little advance with the Willys. The bumpers and stick the body to the main frame.
In photo 272 you can see the pieces that compose the bumpers, before trimming them. I have already stuck on card piece 26. In Photo 273 all the trimmed pieces with all the painted edges. All? A little piece does resist to being occupied by the Roman invader ah, it seems to me that I am getting confused of history (do you know the French comic Asterix?). No, not all are painted, as always; I realized the forgetfulness when seeing this photo. Luck, because if no, another small disaster to the saga of the errors.

Finally, in the series of photographies 277 to the 280, you can see that I have already stuck the body to the frame. Now it is that the Willys already seem a car. It is the moment that I hoped. Now I see the LIGHT at the end of the tunnel!

Greetings and, I hope, until soon.
Hello companions,
Now it seems that this build finally advances quicker. Because it seems that what I am doing now is to be filling the body and finishing components of the Willys.
First, today, it has been the turn of the fuel tank, for that reason in Photo 281 you can see, as always, the pieces before cutting them. But this time, I have forgotten to take the following photography with the cut pieces and some of the process of assembly of the top part of the fuel tank. So in Photo 282, surprise!, it appears the top part of the fuel tank already mounted and I begin to mount the bottom part. As always, first I stick one side and, when it is dry, the other, one behind another one.
281. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/26486B93212648274E411148274C58.jpg] 282. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1E486B93221F48274E431248274C59.jpg]
Also I have skipped some passages of the bottom part of the fuel tank, and thus in Photo 283 I show you the two parts of the fuel tank already finished. I hope that you will pardon this lack of photographies.

The second part of the today tasks have been to mount the grill and the lateral protectors of the engine. In Photo 286 you can see the pieces that compose this part of the assembly and in the Photo 287 the pieces cut, with painted edges and ready to be mounted in the frame.

In Photos 288, 289 and 290 I show you how I have held the bottom frontal grill to the frame while stuck, by pressing it with small pliers, and then the top part with an improvised press with different tools. Finally, in Photo 290, the frontal grill already stuck in its place.

Well, that is everything for today. I hope that soon I can show new advances to you.
Until then.
Greetings to all.
Lluis, it is coming together nicely. It must be some relief to see the finish line. =D>
Hi folks,
Royaloakmin, yes it have been two and a half months... and it is a lot of time without seeing true advances. But now I can "see" the Jeep taking shape :yahoo:
This moves more and more fast.
Today it was the turn to the front mudguards of the Willys. The single problem that I have found is that there is one narrow strip of paper that borders and gives outer form at the mudguards and has been a little laborious to obtain that it stayed in his place, but at the end, and with a little patience, I have obtained it.
In Photo 295 you can see, as always, the pieces that compose the mudguards before cutting them. And in Photo 296 those same pieces already trimmed.

In Photo 297 the face and the back of the mudguards and the strip that outlines them are sticking. First I fold the pieces separately and later I stick one against another, this way they maintain its form far better. And in Photo 298 the folded part of this small strip of paper is sticking.

In Photo 299 I am sticking the bottom reinforcement of the mudguards and in Photo 300 you can see the global look of the Willys with the stuck mudguards. You are going to agree with me that it already seems a Jeep, right?

Well, for the present time nothing else, but soon I will return with new updates. Now the build is going at top speed. :thumb:
Greetings to all.
The mudguards on pictures 297 and 298 look just perfect, lriera!
No sign of excess glue and they are pretty up to shape. The method of gluing the inner and outer skin parts after folding them is a good one but require a lot of care to cut and trim each part. Nicely done here :super:
Hi buddies,
Ricleite, thank you for your kind words. I am very happy to meet you here at Kartonbau.
As far as the Willys this moves this advances without stopping.
Today it has touched the turn to the steering wheel, the pedals and the battery. In Photo 301, the pieces that compose the pedals and the steering wheel of the Willys. And in Photo 302 you can see mounted the pedals, the axis of the steering wheel and trimmed and painted the same steering wheel. The supports of the pedals are maintained by the very small end of the paper, but with a drop of glue, they do not mean any problem.
301. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1A486F43461D482AFE7B20482AFC7D.jpg] 302. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/23486F434F1E482AFE8520482AFC86.jpg]
In Photos 303 and 304 two views of the finished steering wheel. Some companions of other Forums have used different materials. I use the paper, not by purism, but because I am learning to handle scales and textures, and I still do not dare with nothing else. Mainly after the poor result with the cables of the spark plugs (yes, yes I take them nailed in the heart, but I want to obtain satisfaction).
303. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/24486F435920482AFE9021482AFC90.jpg] 304. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/25486F436322482AFE9B22482AFC9A.jpg]
And in Photo 305 the pedals glued in its place in the body. I do not know why it serves the black button underneath the accelerator pedal, but the instructions indicate that this is its place and there is. Also what I said before, the pedals are maintained by that very small end of paper, but just as before, a drop of glue and it already is. They are self-sustained.
305. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/17486F436727482AFEA026482AFC9E.jpg]
And now it is the hour of the battery and the other box close to him that I do not know what it is. In Photo 306 the pieces before being trimmed. And in Photo 307 the pieces once passed through the edge of the cutter, with the folds already done and the edges diligently painted.

In Photo 308 I have already stuck the two boxes. The paper goes edge against edge, without flaps, but given the size, with a few drops of glue, and holding them with my fingers while this one is dried, I obtain that they maintain his form. And in the Photo the 309 two finished boxes.
308. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/18486F437122482AFEAD27482AFCA8.jpg] 309. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1A486F437325482AFEB029482AFCAA.jpg]
Photo 310 shows the first box stuck in its place. For the battery, its position is only indicated with a points line. As it seemed to me excessive to stick the battery only by the edge, I cut and stuck a card plaster of 0.5 mm, a little below the line of points, so that the battery stayed to its correct height. And in the Photo the 311 two boxes in its place.

Greetings to all.
Hello to all,
And today new advances in the Willys Jeep. This time it has been the turn to the horn and the instrument board.
In Photo 312 you can see the pieces that compose the horn stuck on corresponding cardboards and in Photo 313, all the cut pieces, with the painted edges. But I had a problem with the horn. It is that tiny piece that you can see coiled at the end of a small stick. The problem is that it did not seem to me that it had left with the correct size, seeing threads of construction of other companions. So armed with Corel Draw, I drew a piece like the one of the horn, but I made it double size and after that, I print it, as you can see in Photo 314. The piece trimmed to the right is the original one, the one at the left is the one that I drew.
312. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1D487212B022482DCDF023482DCBE7.jpg] 313. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/23487212B629482DCDF729482DCBED.jpg] 314. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/23487212BF21482DCE0129482DCBF6.jpg]
And in Photo 315, you can see the horn already mounted. I like more my version than the tiny horn that had stayed if I had used the original one. In Photo 316 you can see the aspect of the horn in its place, in the Willys.

Next I have dedicated myself to the console of instruments. In Photo 317, as always, you can see the pieces before the cut, and, those that need it, already stuck to corresponding cardboards.
317. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/22487212D923482DCE1E1F482DCC10.jpg]

Good, so far already it is, but soon I will follow with more. And what follows they are the seats.
Greetings.
Hello companions,
Today it has been the turn of the back seat. Indeed, as I have no idea of by where begin, I have thought that if it left bad, probably it was going to be less noticed the back seat, that one of the forwards. So, with many doubts, I have confronted this task.
I say doubts, because as it often happens to me, after sticking the pieces on cardboard, trimming them and painting the edges, still I do not have any idea of which is the work order. It is that the instructions in Pole are a torture, because you know that there is explained everything but you do not understand anything.
Well, then with these doubts, I confronted the construction of the back seat and naturally it went bad. Luckily it was nothing almost burdens, because the glue still was not dry, but almost... Now with the story.
In Photo 321 you can see, as always, the pieces before trimming them. And in Photo 322 the trimmed pieces. I have already stuck the cover of the base and the back of the seat as always, going step by step. For that reason I have begun sticking the back part. In Photo 323 I already have stuck all the cover of the base and the back of the seat and I am proceeding with the same form with the endorsement. And in Photo 324 already the base and the endorsement are stuck.
321. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1F48749C081B48305751134830553F.jpg] 322. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2048749C091D483057531448305540.jpg] 323.

In Photo 325 I have joint the three pieces of paper that form the support of the endorsement and I am coming, step by step, to stick it around the base of the seat, beginning by the center. Serious mistake! Because in Photo 327 I realized that when the strip arrived at the center, the endorsement of the seat was twist, more rised of a side than of the other.
325. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2548749C0E1C4830575B1948305545.jpg] 326. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2648749C0F1E4830575D1148305546.jpg] 327. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1F48749C1121483057601348305548.jpg]
So I took it off, luckily it dont suffered collateral damage. And in Photo 328 it is seen how I returned to stick it, this time, beginning from the center.
328. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2048749C121A483057621448305549.jpg]
Soon I fitted the endorsement, centering it in the superior part of the paper strip. The result was optimal, as you can see in Photo 329, with the finished seat.

Good, now to by the front seats that, I hope, will be to me easier thanks to the acquired experience today.
Until in a moment with more news of the Willys.
Greetings.
Hello companions,
And now, here I am with new advances on the Willys. Yes, yes, I know that I promised you it would be faster, but other obligations have prevented me to progress suitably with the Willys.
But go with it. In Photo 330 you can see the different pieces that compose one of the front seats. It gave me the impression that only two strips of paper were not going to hold well the seats, so I print the page in which they are these pieces, from the backup that I keep. From that copy I cut one third strip, is the one that is in the middle of the other two in the photography.

In Photo 331 I have already cut the strips that will form the frame of the seat and begin to stick the covers of the seat and the endorsement. As always, step by step, beginning from the back part. The base and the endorsement of the seats are constituted by three pieces stuck one on another one. In the photo you can see also that I have sandpapered the edges of the base and the endorsement.

In Photo 332 I show you how I stick the strips of 1 mm that form the frame and the support of the seat. I begin by an end and, as soon as the glue is dry, I am sticking another part not very long and thus, until sticking one strip to the other. With the third one I did it in the same form.

In Photo 333 you can see the three strips already stuck one to the other. Also I have finished sticking the covers of the seat and the endorsement and I have trimmed the back reinforcement of the endorsement. You observe that I stick the frame giving it a circular form. This is so that when I stick it to the endorsement, the strips already have taken the round form that will be to have once beaten to this one. As you can see in the Photo 334, in which I have stuck the frame to the superior part of the seat and I am doubling the frame by the edge of the endorsement. In Photo 335 I am sticking the laterals of the frame. And in Photos 336 and 337 I already have stuck the base and the seat is finished. With this one and the third seat, I did not have any problem. The pieces fitted to first.

Well, that is everything at the moment. Now I no longer promise nothing, because the next week I am going to have a lot of not hobby work. But I will try to advance in the Willys and to post fastest than I can.
Greetings to all and until soon.
Hello companions,
And now, here I am with another small advance in the Jeep.
This time it was the turn of the gas tank and to the windshield. I am going to enter in matter without more introductions. In Photo 341 you can see the different pieces that compose the tank already cut. And in Photo 342 I have stuck the inner wall of the deposit and the cover.
341. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2048831AD924483ED63C1D483ED410.jpg] 342. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2248831ADB1E483ED63F1F483ED412.jpg]
In Photo 343 you can see how I have stuck a flap, because by design one assumes that I had to stick the paper edge against edge. This seemed excessive to me so I improvised this flap and another one for the cover of the base of the tank. Photo 344 shows to you how I held the tank while the flap stuck.
343. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2348831ADC20483ED64120483ED413.jpg] 344. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2548831ADE23483ED64422483ED415.jpg]
In Photo 345 the tank is already closed and I show you the flap that I commented previously. And in 346 Photo the finished tank.

Finally in Photo 347 it appears the tank finished with the strip and the base that will hold it to the Willys and in Photo 348 the deposit with the strip and the support already stuck.

Later it was the turn to the windshield. In Photo 349 the pieces that compose it before cutting them and in Photo 350 all the pieces already cut and with the edges painted ready for its assembly.

In Photo 351 I have already stuck the front and back of the frame of the windshield and use a sheet of paper to maintain them separated while they stick. Over the frame you can see the acetate that will simulate the crystal already cut to its size.
351. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2948831B4E25483ED6BB26483ED485.jpg]
And in Photo the 352 the finished windshield. The most difficult task has been to cut the windshield wipers, because like you can see they are two pieces that in the part of the rubber to clean do not have half a millimeter of width. In this case I did them without rule, by hand and very, very slowly.

Well, that is everything so far.
Greetings to all.
Hello to all,
Today I have mounted the hood of the engine. Now the last difficult operation that I have left, is to fix the windshield to its place.
In Photo 353, you can see the two pieces that form the hood of the engine, either cut and in Photo 354 I have stuck the two pieces and I have curved the lateral ones. Before sticking the two pieces, I give form to them with a small stick separately and to rub them against the fingers, soon I put stick glue in a piece and the other, and later, before the glue is dried, I tighten them between the small stick and the fingers until they maintain the form. It seems not true, but the two pieces, once the glue has been dried, are very solid and the curved form is not lost.

In Photo 355 you can see how I am sticking the seven pieces that will form the hinges and in the 356 Photo the device that I improvised to stick the four hinges that go united to the hood. By design they have to be glued against the edge of the paper, that is that I saw and wishes me to obtain that they were glued well with so little faying surface, but in the end I obtained, it.

And in Photo 357 you can see the result; I took this photo while the three hinges that go fixed to the body were sticking. And in 358 Photo the opening of the hood allows to see the engine. As you can see, the hood is able to open and close; what a wonder! Mainly because it can be seen the amount of work that is there in the engine.

Good, that is everything at the moment.
Greetings to all and until soon.
Lluis, you continue to impress us with the detail and skill of your build. You inspired me to go do my Panhard 178 armored car, wich i hope to post to the gallery soon.
regards
Hello companions,
Royaloakmin, thank you for your nice words, they really help me. I am waiting to see your Panhard 178. Have already build it, or are you going to show us your build process? In any case, I will be following your thread with great interest.
This moves, moves, and moves
Now it was the turn of the windshield and a lot of small pieces. It already lacks less for D-day, H-hour.
With the enthusiasm of the end, I forgot to take some photos of the process, but you understand me, correct? It is that I want to finish quickly.
In Photo 359 you can see that I have already stuck the two plasters in form of Ls that serve to unite the windshield to the body. These pieces have 1 millimeter of width and two cardboards of 0.2 of depth, that is that I was not sure that they went to support the movement up and down of the windshield, so I submerged them in cianocrilate and they have really stayed as of steel (good, it is joke, like of plastic). But they hold perfectly.
359. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1D488C82F81D48483E722348483C2F.jpg]
And in Photos 360, 361, 362 and 363 you can see the aspect of the Willys with the mounted windshield. It begins to have good aspect, truth? Good to be sincere, there is a white line in the windshield that I have seen in the photos. In fact it is not appraised, because I had not seen it until I watched the photos. So please dont be too cruel, anyone can have a failure. But I promise to you that in the real model, you cant realize it.

In Photo 364 a pile of pieces. Many of them are only to cut and to paint edges, reason why I do not show its process to you. Only the siren has had some difficulty.

367. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/20488C83041F48483E862648483C3B.jpg]
It already lacks very, very little. Be tuned because next move will be the end.
Greetings.
Hello to all

Ah, thanks to all by the support that you have offered to me during these long months, that have been much and very good. And as I said to you, I dedicate this model to my mother, she did not know anything of Internet, but I would have taught it and certainly it would have liked very much.
Well, that is everything until the moment. You will already say to me what it seems to you.
Greetings.

Hello companions,
After a few months I retake this thread, but I am not going to make a balance of the construction of the Willys that I will still leave up to in a time but to show you what happens when a paper model is painted. Very well painted.
The truth is that when Piter at the Gdansk Meeting proposed to me to paint the Willys it gave much fear to me. As you can be imagine, to put a brush on to the Willys, after the months of sweats that cost to me, was not something that I enjoyed a lot. But it could plus the confidence that Piter inspired to me. To see the works that Piter has done with his models as of paper or of plastic. So I said yes to him. And next I show to you the result of his works with the brush.
More than to write I, hope that the photographies that I show to you following are enough to justify that I have brought an aerograph and I am thinking very seriously to begin to paint the models me too.
So here we go. In Photo 390 you can see the aspect of the Willys that all you know, on the table of the workshop before Piter did the intervention to him.
390. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1F4919636B2A48D51FC81C48D51CA2.jpg]
In Photos 391 and 392 you can see Piter in two moments of the work.

And finally in Photos 393 to 398 you can see the final result. The best is that at the Meeting Piter also presented/displayed a Willys but of plastic. So you can compare how they look one next to the other, the plastic and the paper one.

Finally, Piter requested me to invite to you to participate in the Forum 1:25 that he coordinates. It is a Forum dedicated exclusively to military scale vehicles in 1:25, as its name indicates, as much in paper as in plastic. You can visit the 1:25 Forum here.
For registration, you must send a message to him, because to avoid Spam, it has to register to you by hand. The Forum is in English, besides in Polish and German.
