Q&A for How to Make a Paper Army Tank

When you roll your paper up, if you start with a slightly bigger roll, then your tube at the end will have a hole inside as the roll will be quite loose.

Nope. A bigger paper makes a bigger tank, and a smaller paper makes a smaller tank.

If you cut the plate as shown in the article, there is not reason unless the plate is too stiff to fold.

Scissors ease cutting. If you want, you can use anything sharp instead of scissors or you can tear instead of cutting.

Yes, you can.

No, you don't need all of your measurements to be exact.

Yes, you can use any color or pattern you want to make your tank.

If you want a tank with a thin or wide tube, than sure. You just roll it up tighter or looser depending on what you're going for.

Normally, no. Because cardboard is stiff, it will be hard to fold. Just stick to paper.

It will take half a piece of paper. Measurements don’t need to be exact, so just cut a piece of paper in half.

Not at all. You can use scraps of paper, cough drop wrappers...You can use anything as long as you can fold or crease it.

Yes, as long as it is foldable and creaseable. Some cardstock is too stiff for this, but lightweight cardstock should work.

You can use any thickness of paper, as long as you can fold or crease it. Like, some construction papers won't work, but most paper will work.

It's like guidelines in art. It helps with proportions. No matter how long you've been doing origami, you can still benefit from the cross crease.
