After accidentally buying a copy of 2nd Ed online last month, I've built a Leman Russ and a Chimera out of cardboard, drinking straws, IDE cables and cocktail sticks for the Hazzard 1977th to make them codex compliant – enjoy!

They look awesome! Did you find a pattern online and just shrink it down? |

Thanks guys, a close inspection will reveal a fair few mistakes ;-) but from two feet away they look pretty good! @cloudcaptain – yes, it was an Eli Patoroch template for both, shrunk down – drinking straws for guns and Zrunelord's IDE cable tracks, which look great at this scale |

Are his models still available? Seems like most of the links have been shut down. |

👍👍👍👍👍
Great work SG,
Glad to have been of help.
I had done those in 28mm but in 1/72nd that must
taken some serious card bending 😁
You should look up Danbear's 15mm scale card dreadnought some years back also.
Eli's card models are excellent & one should subscribe to their yahoo group as they post updates from time to time.

@marc at work- thank you! @Todd636 there are plenty of mirror sites, Google paperhammer and see where it takes you- papercraftsquare is a good reliable place. @Zrunelord, praise from the master is praise indeed! Thanks man, I'll check that out :-) |
