This technique could easily be adapted to making tanks and especially complicated turrets like the T-55 for example. The software that makes this easy is the Pepakura software which translates 3D files into paper cutouts: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ Reading the Pepakura site lead me to a freeware 3D design software: http://www.metaseq.net/english/index.html Of course there's a ton of already made 3D models of tanks on the web (thanks to all the wannabe video game designers) that could be used as a starting point. Paper core construction (which this is) has a long history. Back in my ultralight flying days I remember reading about a guy who built ultralight aircraft using heavy Kraft paper with light fiberglass on each side.
