How to make a paper tank by yourself: step-by-step instruction

Boys really like a variety of equipment, cars, aircraft and, of course, tanks. If you are growing a future defender of the fatherland, the tank, made with his own hands, will be an excellent gift that will definitely lead the kid into rapture. From this article you will learn how to make a paper tank with your own hands. You should start with the simplest model.

The simplest technique

Take a regular sheet of A4 paper and cut a strip of 4-5 cm wide from the short side.

Take the strip and bend the top corner from left to right so that the triangle turns out.

We unfold the corner on the strip in the starting position. We bend the top of the strip to the other side also in the form of a triangle. And again we return the paper to its original position, after this we get clear fold lines.

Fold the triangle strips along the fold lines as indicated by the instruction. Do the same for the stripes below. Well press the pyramid from above and below to fix their position.

Now it is necessary to bend the ears of the pyramids to the left, for this, lift them upwards, and then bend in the right side. After that, bend the right edge of the strip inward towards the center.

Next, you need to fold the strip from the side to the right in half, also make the other side of the part. As a result, you should get a two-sided arrow from the paper.

Fold the ears of the upper pyramid inside and fold the strip so that the top corner is parallel to the bottom pyramid. After that, insert one pyramid into the other.

Here's a figure you should get.

Bend the ears, open the top pyramid, and after that we fill them inward.

Thus, it turned out a tower for the tank.

Take your figure and turn it to the side. Straighten the strip, which is concave inward, this is necessary to give the future caterpillars volume. Do it carefully and from all sides.

It remains to work for a small - to build a muzzle for the gun. To do this, take a piece of paper size 4x4.Fold it into the tube with a thickening at the end. After that, lift the tower of the tank slightly and insert the muzzle there.

That's it, the tank of paper in the origami technique is ready. This craft can be made from any paper, but it will look best if you take a blank white sheet, and after you form a war machine, decorate it. Or make a toy directly from colored paper.

We make a T-34 tank from origami modules

Before we begin to make such a tank, we need to understand in detail how to make modules for origami.

To create such details, you will need a normal A4-sheet sheet. But, if you make these parts for the tank, it is better to immediately take the colored paper of the right color.

Fold the sheet in half, then again and again, in the end you should get a paper with 16 squares, but if you fold the sheet again, you will get 32 ​​pieces. Cut the sheet along the fold lines.

Take one of the resulting triangles and fold them in half diagonally.

Again, fold the resulting strip in half, and then unfold the part to its original position.

Now bend one edge to the center, and then the other, as when folding the plane. Turn the part over and bend the remaining corners into triangles.

The resulting segments must be bent upward.

Fold the part in half, and the origami module is ready.

Now you can start creating a tank.

Tools and materials:

• Paper is white or green.
• Ruler and a simple pencil.
• Scissors.
• Glue PVA and a thin brush for it.
• Balloon with green paint.

For such a tank you will need 5088 modules, you can do them in advance, or do it in the process of work. We start assembling from the main part - the hull.

Insert the angle of one module into the pocket of the other.

Take the third module and insert it into the second pocket.

We take the fourth module and insert the free corner of the third.

The angle of the fifth insert into the fourth.

At the moment the long side of the case is going. Add up until you have 13 pieces of everything.

Now you need to fix the structure, for this, take another module and insert into it the corners of the first modules of both rows. In the photo it is marked green.

Add in the same way another 7 modules, this will be the third row.

Assemble further as follows:

1st row - 30

modules 2nd row - 29

modules 3rd row - 30

modules All three rows are ready. Do not insert the modules too tightly, otherwise the part will not move.

4th row - 29 modules

Odd rows - 30 parts, and even - 29. You need only 100 rows.

Now you need to gently connect 1 row and 100, this will be the tank body.

The tank side

1 row - 6 modules, and 2 rows respectively 5 parts.

Rotate the modules as above, even with odd. We make 60 rows.

The board must be glued to the body, make the same side for the second side.

Cabin of the

Do not forget what the short and long sides of the modules look like, you will need this later.

Begin to do 1 row, it will consist of parts with a long side, and the second row with a short side.

To ensure that your structure does not fall apart, you need to fix it with the third row, the part with the short side.

Continue to do, row 1 - 45 modules with the long side, 2nd row - 45 parts with the short side, the 3rd row is assembled exactly the same.

When the workpiece is ready, it needs to be put together in a ring. The corner of the first row part is inserted into the module of the second row, in the photo the connection point is marked with green details.

Collect the ranks further upwards, like a glass.4th and 5th rows of 45 modules, short side.

6th and 7th series do the same as the two previous ones.

Also continue to do 8, 9 and 10 rows. Turn over the workpiece, the cabin is almost ready.

Cockpit cover

Assemble in rows, long side. The first row has 12 modules, the 2nd row the same.

Connect into the ring, insert the corner of the first row module into the pocket of the second row module.

In the third row, we need to increase the number of modules to 14. Put on 4 modules, each one corner, in the photo shown in green.

Such a circle should work out.

4th row increase to 16 parts, just like you did in the third row.

In the 5th row you need to get 20 parts, for this we put on 8 modules.

6th row - 24 modules, again we put on 8 parts.

7th row - 28 parts, 8 parts.

Everything, the cockpit cover is ready.
