M-25 Quad Mount with Scratchbuilt Trailer - 1:25 Scale Paper Model
The .50-caliber quad mount comes from an M16 MGMC US Halftrack paper model kit published by WAK of Poland. I scrapped the guns in the kit and scratchbuilt the .50-cals in paper from line drawings of the gun found online. I substituted my own sling seat and built the trigger post from plastic rod.
The trailer is scratchbuilt in cardstock using wheels & tires from another paper kit (the water tank trailer described in my earlier post). The heavy tow bar is a Plastruct tube, the tow ring is brass rod, and the jacks are scratchbuilt from cardstock. Photos from Google were used as reference.
I used Photoshop to apply the “Kilroy” graffiti. At 1:25 scale, the model is 5 inches long and about 3 inches tall. Build time was about 35 hours, I think.
