Due to how impressed I was with the high quality of T055s new turret ( congratulations to Mr Palmer ),Im seriously thinking about using this building material for making ( and mass producing hull / turrets ) for my project in the school. I have had the kids building plywood hulls at an unbelievable slow pace (all most as slow as some people on here,) and so im looking for alternatives. What id like to know is what experience have members had with "layered" paper mache, good or bad ? Im thinking of building a tank hull / turret mold, with screws in it where I want accurate holes, then simply add layer after layer of news paper soaked in wall paper paste, then painted with emulsion inside and out and finished with coats of varnish. these tanks are powered by KKM, with less than 50w of power at 12v so I think they will miss the pounding most of us expect our tanks to endure . If Im wrong then we will have some very annoyed 11-15 year olds.
