Hey All,
I'm not dead, I just haven't had a chance to
unpack all my modeling stuffs yet. And yes for any of you that want it I
will still make a tutorial on scratch building once I get my stuff all
set up and I've practiced a bit again. I'm just waiting on some of my
close family to come visit and get settled before I get all my workshop
stuff set up. In the mean time I started doing a little fun project to
get my hands readjusted to my blades and to get me in the modeling
spirit; a papercraft version of the Metal Gear Rex!
It took me a few days to do this and I must say for my first complicated piece of paper cutting I am pretty pleased. I think I may do a few more papercraft projects soon such as Vaan from final fantasy XII, and if I feel brave maybe a papercraft Deep Striker. Although that may kill me. haha. Or my printer toner. I used 110 lb. card stock for the paper, white "elmer's" glue, and a couple Xacto blades. It took about 6 sheets of paper for the parts, and 1 for the instructions. It also had the experimental mech on the sheets but I dunno if I'll finish that one or not. I think this was intended to be larger but when we printed it out we shrunk the pages down some, which added to the challenge of cutting insanely small parts. Well I hope my fellow nerds like it! I know a certain Sneeper who's a fellow Rex enthusiast. Hopefully I can update you guys on my LG in the next month! More pics:
Stay tuned mechaholics...
