Great work,

One question. Have you looked at trying 'leather stamp' tools to apply designs into the paper and cardboard?
- Say a stamp with repeated lines or chevrons or pebbles on it.
Don't know how well the paper would hold the design imprint, but cardstock will hold the stamp shape.
- there are so many designs available, if it would work, the added detail 'could' be something else.
I understand some of these models are very small, and the pieces tiny, but if you know someone that does 'leatherwork' detail, it may not hurt to ask if the stamps can work on paper. I've seen tests of some tools done on thick cardstock prior to moving to the leather item.

Again great work,
9erRed

As someone that did a LOT of papercrafting in college, I appreciate the time and work that goes into this. :] Well done, Hitman.

Have you thought about making castings of the finished product so it could be made in resin?

That is the one Urbanmech I fear in TT.... use it in a city and that thing is devastating....

It's in my top 10 city fighting, non infantry units...
