Scratchbuilding tutorial: Space Marine Predator

Greetings!

In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a Predator.

Things you'll need:
Ruler
Scalpel
PVA/Drvofix glue
Toothpicks
Hobby drill with 1mm drills
300g paper
1 mm cardboard paper

OK, let's start....

1. Print Rhino and Predator blueprints, glue them on 300g/cardboard paper respectively and cut out all pieces:

when cutting out a Rhino template, DO NOT cut out the side doors and upper hatch:

2. Start building a Rhino. You can find the tutorial here:

3. When the Rhino hull is finished, start building the turret:

4. Combine the hatch for turret, and glue it on the Rhino hull:

5. Use 300g paper to make a tube for the turret:

6. Time to start with sponsons....
After drilling holes, use tips of toothpicks or narrow wire and squeeze through the holes.

7. Next, building an autocannon....
Use a thoothpick an regular paper (cca 7 cm in wdth and 210 cm in length) an roll the paper ower the toohpick to create a tube:

 Cut two ribbons, one 1cm width/210cm length, other 2cm width/210cm length and roll each on one end of tupe and glue them:

 Position the tube on the turret and draw out the circle on the turret; cut out the circle and put in the tube and glue it:

And there you have it, my version of the Predator:
