World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online game dedicated to armored warfare in the mid-20th century. In the Russian site they have a section with papercraft tanks that I think are extracted from the game models: World of Tanks Paper models

Wow, I'm not sure why I hadn't posted these before. Combatant, over at papermodelers.com keeps us appraised of new offerings in development and release dates. Do not hit the button to view in English, because the models are only available on the Russian site.
I probably didn't mention it because these are a bit more fiddly than we normally build

WOT added a T-18 today. If you haven't checked out their tanks and dioramas, you really should

On the page Hackbarth identified, there's also a cute little diorama with anthropomorphic animals, "Olenesha with suitcases in the rain"!

Starting with the T-54 model that is just issued, all models from WOPT are going to be in two versions, 'Armored Box' and 'Sophisticated'. Armored Box versions for me

Links so tricky to find CS Yes it's dashed unsporting of the Ruskies not to speak English
I'm very pleased to find some versions of the Renault FT17 I don't have. FT17's got everywhere and are useful for all manner of skirmishy scraps.

Post by Vermin King on Sept 15, 2014 5:06:59 GMT -9
About 90 parts ... LOL
The sophisticated version has the drive and road wheels modeled and the simpler version just has them printed onto one piece.
Check out the bottom of the picture. The tank on the right has the printed on wheels, and the one on the left has modeled wheels. The sophisticated version also has a few more detail pieces
The tanks are listed under Media on the Russian site. The English site doesn't even have a Media section, or at least it hasn't in the past

I couldn't tell!
Armored box it is, then! I only didn't try building these tanks because of excessive number of pieces. Well, it seems that I have a tank to build now!

The easiest way to get to the models is worldoftanks.ru/ru/media/10/Honestly, I haven't built any of the tanks either, but I have done a couple of their diorama pieces. Instructions take you step-by-step, and I have seen many of these built well. The texturing is fantastic.

So much for including an easy version...

Post by aleks on Oct 16, 2014 23:18:05 GMT -9
I'll build a couple of these nice tanks... probably starting with this one! It seems to be a little strange incursion in a weird war setting in between many historical models

Honestly, that guy really caught my eye, also, but then I saw all the little fiddly feet parts and decided my time would be better spent elsewhere. I wish you success in your build. I forget where I saw it, but there is also a walker out there on a different site with legs on a half-track truck. If I can find it again, I'll point you in the right direction

These tanks look awesome. Like you say Vermin King, sooooo many small parts! Not sure if I'm up to that kind of challenge. Still got a few pdfs for some of my favorite tanks though

I used to download all new tank when they releases them, but I think I missed some late models... I keep my eyes on this thread.
