Card Game

A lot of wargaming models are cut from 3mm mdf, the folks over at Laser Cut Card have opted to use 1mm card instead.

My painting skills couldn't cope with making a finished item like this, they're pretty tearable.

There are lots of tank models out there but, because this comes with instructions, it is definitely a challenger for the best.
