The Cog Cruiser is a very pleasant and easy model to build. I built one in less than an hour and many different models can be done with this paper model.

I really enjoyed building two of the Steam Rams and I can see a 3rd and maybe 4th in my future in a different configuration

Not sure its mentioned on the description but if you own a craftrobo/silhouete/cameo you can slip over to the Mayhem in Paper website and pickup the GSD files for the cutter. Squirmydad has also included parts not just for one model but for at least four different versions. Although with the parts this actually equates to a lot more options, here are the four basic ones easily constructed from the instructions:

Wheeled with Main Gun Tracked with Main Gun Wheeled with Top Machine Guns Tracked with Top machine Guns.

The model itself is well laid out and all the parts are easy to identify. If you are hand cutting the model do be aware that not all the parts are used when assembling a Steam Ram so make sure you check the instructions and see what parts are needed for the version your planning to build before just cutting everything out. The 30mm sized Steam Ram is spread across 4 pages but for a single tank build you’ll only need to use about 3 pages of parts. I found the colouring of the ram to be perfect not to dark and not to light scaling wise the ram should be perfect to use with 28mm miniatures. It did take me around 4-5 hours to finish each Ram, they mainly took this long as I was building very carefully and ensuring every join and part was edged, I even sanded a couple of parts to ensure they were perfectly perpendicular. So if your used to assembling card models you should be able to pull a Ram together much more quickly.

To give you an idea on versatility I did make some slight modifications to the two rams I constructed. Firstly I centralized the gun box on the front but then cut out the driver window and glued this to the left of the gun box. I then added both machine guns to the top but set these towards the rear and facing left and right to provide some flanking protection to the tank.

Unfortunately I cant post a picture but there are a few on my blog.

I plan on building an entire Steampunk army around the Steam Ram using it as the central Tank unit.

To Summarize this is a great model and well worth the money.

I particularly like the number of options: colors, wheels, treads, cannon, guns, driver's port, etc.

This is a very nice looking and not too difficult model to assemble. I know it's designed for Steam Punk, but I'm going to use it for SciFi for those lower tech units that can't afford the Highest tech vehicles. Although it comes in 4 colors, I have a little trouble discerning the difference between the light gray and the dark gray. However with brown, green, and gray, I have enough colors to build all I need. I also like very much the capability to build mods on the original. It comes with the main gun on the hull as pictured, but 2 additional turrets are provided and it is also shown with them as an alternative to having the main gun. I, naturally decided to combine a turret with a main gun and like that variant even better. A very nice model from a very dependable producer of papercraft items and I have to give this one 5 stars.

Not only does Mayhem in Paper come out swinging on this one, but they aim for the fences! This follow-up to the popular Steam Tower, has a commanding presence on the battlefield, and has more options than imaginable. There are, of course, color options, and different configurations available, including tank tranks and optional turrets.

This model is beautifully laid-out and is simple enough for the hobbyist just starting out, and looks good enough when finished that even a verteran can be proud of. Brilliant colors drive this model, and the ease of construction allows for the builder to make MANY of these with little effort.

A brilliant product.
