Armored Car

This is the ornament for year three of the exchange.  These cars were inspired by a paper model kit from the 1930's, produced in Germany for kids to cut out and glue together.  I traced the images and did quite a bit of cleaning up so the parts would actually fit together.  I can't imagine any kid having fun trying to build this paper armored car as originally printed...
I scaled the parts down to ornament size, actually the size that would accommodate "O" rings for the tires and copper tubes for machine guns.  They're laser etched and cut from thick copper paper and thinner gold paper.
The shading of the rivets and panel lines was done with eye shadow.  It worked like pastels but had a shimmer to it that my pastels don't have. 
They measure about 3" x 4" x 2.5"
Most if not all of these are in private collections now.
