Imagine what he could produce if he had access to our workbenches??? There is a great deal of talent and patience there.

The creative process remains the same whatever you work with cardboard , plastic or metal ...
Give this guy the material and the tools ...and the sky is the limit ....

Absolutely amazing work...and the sequential build photos say it all. Lots cheaper than sheet styrene. Thanks for sharing Jeff.

hey guys,

thanks for taking a look at my Cereal Box Grille. Ienjoyed your comments so much I figured I should become a member here.

I just created a channel on VIMEO to better showcase my scratchbuilding work:

vimeo.com/channels/cerealboxtanks

You will find the Grille as well as a Marder III, Elefant &King Tiger, Russian T-34, and a family of Swiss G-13s.

PS- and you're right...my workbench is minimal. Just a table top resting on a bin of firewood. I don't even think it's level.....

For him the prize is not inside the cereal box. But IS the box!

Really great work, watched them all.

Paper models have always been popular in England and Germany, but these models take it to a completely new level.

CerealBox Tanks,
You realy need to give styrene a try and in 1/16 scale. I think you could make some fantastic tanks in that scale. With the styrene and detail parts available you could certyainly make museum quality models, plus you can RC them and have fun after the building is complete. Great work.

If someone really got good at this (I know, bad grammar) these really could be the perfect battlefield additions instead of the 1/18 plastic, which is now getting harder to find and more expensive too. Gotta start looking for used ones now I guess.
