I love seeing this model come together. One thing I have noticed with the card construction, the cardboard is used in a very similar way to how the parts of the original Pak40 would be constructed from mild steel.
The parts are cutout, formed and bent and then welded (glued) on, the card gives a great approximation of the thickness of the metal used on the genuine item.
I'm currently playing around with making some parts for a scratch built model and it's good to see ways around making the various parts that dont require castings and breaking the various parts down into more simplified forms which can be fabricated from a basic sheet material.
I'm going to do some CAD drawings to cnc mill some small parts in 0.5mm styrene sheet so it should work out pretty nicely.
