Week #54 Begins👉Let's do it...Do It Yourself👉Craft: Construction of Army Armoured Vehicle using a waste carton

Hi Steemians, how are you today? I hope you are all fine as I am. Today I want to join other steemians in this beautiful contest by crafting an Army Armoured Vehicle with a waste carton. I believe the kids and parents in this community will like my presentation. Thank you.

Materials used for construction

• Carton
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Paper cutter
• Evostic gum
• Super glue
• Rubber
• Stick
• 30cm rule
• Scissors

Step 1
I began the construction of my army armoured vehicle from the road wheel (tires). I used the mouth of a container to draw a circle and cut it with the help of my paper cutter and duplicated the circle into eight pieces. I again cut a rectangular carton 2 inches wide and 8 inches long and shaped the edges to have a U-shape

Step 2
I then cut my carton 2 inches wide and 20 inches long. I pield one side of the carton and that forms my link or chain. I also duplicated it into two

Step 3
I gummed the link (chain) around the 2-inch wide by 8-inch long rectangular carton and then gummed the four (4) pieces of the road wheel on it. I also duplicate it.

Step 4
I cut a carton 5 inches by 6.5 inches and used it to connect the wheel.

Step 5
The next thing I did here was to construct the armoured plate. I measured the centre plate 7.5 inches by 9 inches, the side skirt 1.5 inches by 9 inches, and the rear plate measured 1 inch by 7.5 inches. After all the measurements and cutting, I glue it together with my Evostik gum and superglue

Step 6
I cut a carton measuring 1.5 inches by 3 inches. I duplicated the paper and gummed it under the centre plate

Step 7
I mount the plate on the wheel of the vehicle

Step 8
The next thing I constructed was the turret. I cut my carton 3 inches by 9inches and cut another carton inform of trapezium. I duplicated the trapezium and gummed it at the left and right-hand side of the 3 by 9 inches carton. I then constructed a rectangular pocket at both left and right. Finally, on the turret construction, I constructed a circular top with a cover which serves as the door of the armoured vehicle and gummed it with super glue.

Step 9
I constructed the main gun (barrel) by using a piled carton measuring 9 inches by 3 inches. I folded it with the help of a stick and gummed the edge. I formed the muzzle which is the top end of the barrel with a piled paper measuring 1 inch wide.

Step 10
I made a hole in the turret and connected the barrel with the help of super glue. I also constructed a small cover on the barrel

Step 11
I mounted the turret on the top plate of the vehicle and this marked the end of my army-armoured vehicle construction.
