Plushie #14: Maus tank

45cm long (not counting the gun) plushy tank made for  rester97

Made of minky polar + hollow fibre stuffing.
The turret is freely rotating, with improved turret bearing (more stable than in T-34 plushie).

This plushie was very challenging. It took me almost 2 months to finish it, but i just love how it turned out <3
To keep the proper shape, the hull is made of 4 separately stuffed chambers.
Side skirts are a little wrinkled, but it's made like that to keep the flat shape. If I stuff them more, they will get too round.
I had to make 201 patterns for cutting ~300 parts for this plushie.
Manual sewing mostly, I used machine only for tracks (the only straight sewing in the entire plush :P )

If someone is interested, I can make the same plushie for $500 (different colors possible for extra $$$).
