Making a Paper Tank. Sort of Origami.

This post is machine-translated.

Having gotten hooked on World of Tanks and, accordingly, on tanks to a degree, and having seen a tank assembly pattern posted on the forum of our clan Iron Squad, I decided that I absolutely had to make one. And I did :)

The Paper Tiger

A few photos of the build process and the patterns themselves are below the cut. Photos of the process:
