Kin Posted September 1, 2004 Author Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) I'm considering to skip the missiles... those little things can wait.. nooo..or at least make a downloadable version of the leg with the hatch.. Oke... otherwise I can't competewith Toynami... Here's some more colorfull joy! If you take a look at the photo you can't notice the gaps between the missile hatches... but in reality if you take a look at the whole leg it's not that bad at all. (landing gear is going to be added in the future... no space actually). This time the pics look a bit betterusing nightflash setting. btw... those missiles are the easiest to make...

BoBe-Patt Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 yo kin, you da man!! that looks sweet!! So how close are you to being done with the whole thing? I so can't wait!!! Quote
promethuem5 Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 dont mean to rush ya but I just finished my paper monster, so im a bit antsy to get anoter sweet paper kit....hows it commin? Quote
Kin Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 I'm still figuring out if there is a better/easier way to attach the legs to the body. Quote
Kin Posted September 5, 2004 Author Posted September 5, 2004 (edited) Sigh* finally I've finished building the legs and attaching system. I've made a duplicate of the folding system and scan it later on. Next step is to model the bodypart. The test version proven to be too short so I've decided to add some lenght. (the collapsed legs in fightermode shown below is 16cm long) The last one is for Florida... let's pray! Edited September 5, 2004 by Kin Quote
Knight26 Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Very nice, I can't wait for the finished product. Quote
Pat S Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 That really looks awesome! I can see that it will have a good chance to look perfect in fighter mode because the top of the leg can fold very far into the bottom. Good work! Quote
Kin Posted September 6, 2004 Author Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) I'm busy sculpturing the body part in soldier mode. The size shouldn't be a problem in fightermode and the chestplate can retract inside so you get a flat bottom. Some parts need little scale corrections. Edited September 6, 2004 by Kin Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Awesome work Kin It's turning out really good. Quote
Kin Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 I'm currently working in two modes... fighter and soldier, using the same parts and scale/fit them to get the right proportions. The most difficult one is the canopy... in soldiermode it sticks out too long... but in fightermode I can't make it shorter than it is. As for the rest there should be no problem at all. This time you can open the window on the canopy. Some parts are to be covered with transparent film. Quote

I got an idea but that will cost the interior of the cockpit. Thanks! Quote
flash Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Wow, very impressive! Any idea on the skill level required to build (once complete?) and an estimate of time required? Wow dude,nice job. Brad Quote
Kin Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 Thnx... I think this will aproximately takes 20 hrs to build. It depends on how precise you work with cutting paper etc... I got a nice solution to the "nosecone" problem, but it's gonna cost our interior but even increases the accuracy: Quote
Kin Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 and ofcourse the technique, in fightermode this should be very solid since the head is tightly against the bodypart and pushing the canopy with upward pressure: Quote
Kin Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 OK... I'm still busy scaling and fitting parts in 3D. I want the model to be as accurate like the anime as possible. In the anime the fighter looks very small... and it has small wings, in soldier mode it kinda looks bulky. The intake/engine is shorten so the leg and kneecap can move more compact, therefore the bodypart can collaps. The wings are the same size as in the anime. The wings are quite a problem. I've found a great sollution and it's something I actually hoped the original designers had done. In soldier mode the flaps of the wings fold 45 degrees inwards fitting between the bodypart and nosecone so making it shorter. As for the nosecone itself... it is collapsable too. Quote
Kin Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 image any suggestions are welcome Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Looks terriffic. Maybe the nosecone should point a little higher, like the VF-1 nosecone? I also noticed that you made the lower section of the nosecone sleeker, well done. I can't wait Quote
Kin Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 (edited) nosecone has been altered the way you want, for now I'm taking a few weeks break.. cause I'm facing this model too long For the meantime I'm busy designing my own "valk" as distraction:) Edited September 18, 2004 by Kin Quote
Kin Posted April 18, 2005 Author Posted April 18, 2005 So... it's a long time ago.. but I'm back... with more free time to spend on. This time I'm gonna rebuild the whole thing and make it less complicated. Quote
Guppy Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks for the *bump* !! I don't know how, but I completely missed this thread! What amazing work. Graham once sent me the link to a 1:1 papercraft pulse rifle from the movie Aliens. But I was always too daunted to make a model out of mere paper.. you make it look like magic. I guess all my small mind can complrehend is paper airplanes. Quote
Solscud007 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) I want a pulse paper rifle!!! please post the link or pm me the link!!! edit: never mind I found it it is so cool!!!! Paper Craft Pulse Rifle Hey Kin!!!! Nice avatar!!!!! Ah-Ha! Take On me Music Vid!!!! Edited April 19, 2005 by Solscud007 Quote
Guppy Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 I want a pulse paper rifle!!! please post the link or pm me the link!!!edit: never mind I found it it is so cool!!!! Paper Craft Pulse Rifle Hey Kin!!!! Nice avatar!!!!! Ah-Ha! Take On me Music Vid!!!! Amazing isn't it? I don't know how you people do it. And the beauty of it is, it's almost free to make it! All you need is a lot of talent. Quote
Knight26 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 That thing is beauty, I wonder how sturdy it is, and how hard it was to design, i would love to make one, and do the same with my own weapons designs. Quote
Solscud007 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 actually if you can build anything in autocad then there is another program that takes it apart and de-skins it I guess and makes the paper craft parts. Quote
combined arms Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 The craziest thing about that pulse rifle is that you can barely tell that it is made out of paper. Only in the close up photos is it apparent. I wish I had that kind of skill for papercraft or regular model making. I can't wait to see how the legioss turns out. Quote

Solscud007 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Really what program is that? http://aliens.humlak.cz/aliens/Aliens_papirove_modely.htm go to that site its mentioned somehwere in there or email the guy Quote
