Low Vis Paper Monster

[Southcross]

At that enormous scale, I think you are going to need to put in some re-enforcements on many of the large, flat areas.  What I did in some cases was add another paper layer to the back of the pice I found to be too flimsy.  For yours, you might need some kind of titanium structure underneath 

oh, its going to be big.. but I don't think it would classify as needing a "skeleton" When I say its going to be 3.375x larger, you need to think three dimensionally. the individual dimensions will only make it about 50% taller/wider/longer (1.5^3 = 3.375) Now if I could find an affordable supply of 17x14 stock I could make it even bigger say another 10-15% :drool: at that size :grabbing calculator: that would make it... OMG.. 4.5x bigger

its probably going to take me another month to finish the "artwork" to make Ver 3.0 I'm recreating all the text/details/fine edges (as much as possible). My redo of the U.N.SPACY logos... etc make them so much sharper blown-up and stand out a lot better. I will most likely have to double wall and reinforce the stupid thing... but it will be worth all the headache

I hadn't looked at this thread previously so I was somewhat suprised when I did. I produced a CG version of the Monster last July and rendered one in an "original" grey colour scheme, this paper model looks just like it. Amazing coincidence.

[Witchblade]

Just a bump since people were looking for this thread. Unfortunately it appears the link to the plans is now dead.

[Berttt]

Does any one know what size I would need to print one of these to get it to come in at 1/72 scale?

The file link posted earlier in the thread is broken

I have the files saved from ages ago. I have tried uplaoding them, but my normal file sharing site is down. I'll try again tomorrow.

I just printed it on a BW printer to do something a little different and to save color toner at my office. I didn't try to steal anyone's ideas. Besides you've got some yellow in you're color scheme, where as mine is purely gray. In any event, I like what you've done there. How long did it take to make that scene? What program(s) did you use?

I just printed it out on standard 8.5 x 11 in paper. If you measure from the floor to the gun barrels, I figure it is about 1/89 (HO) scale. The scale is different if you measure it length or width wise.

You might be able to make an estimate from that.

Oh cool. To bad the link isn't working( I know, I'm not original ). I have a 5-year old who would like to see this real life. Please, could anyone update the link ....thx

[Goshawk]

lol yes, I tried to look it up but couldnt find it.

[mojacko]

[peter]

Man, that low-viz paper Monster looks awesome. Funny though, if the Monster were real, it doesn't matter what color it is, you're gonna see it.

[Mule]

Sorry, but I don't have any place to post the files for downloading. They are rather large. I got the files from the old forums, but I know that link is quite dead.

[Berttt]

Ok guys here are the files. Should be good for around 30 days

Any dramas let me know.

Cheers,

Thanks mate for the link......I'm afraid I'll have to stop working on my VF1 in favor of this paper Monster That's the problem with these darn kids these days...they don't have patience

There was an older thread about the paper monster. This B&W version is damn sweet. I built the color version on 110lb. cardstock. That seemed to be the best paper. And for the parts that would be showing white in certain areas, I double printed the backside of the the paper in the green color just to keep the same color and look a little more realistic.

Actually, I am working on cleaning up the colors of the colored version, because I will be getting it printed on I believe it is 16x20 poster board paper. A print shop will be doing it for me and it's gonna cost a little dough, but that should bring it to rougly a 1/48 scale. Of course, I will be doing this with photgraphs along the way.

Now I'm trying to decide,,, do I print it in color (a dulled out green and not so dull as the original, or in the B&W? Again, man, great job on the monster. It's one hell-of-a project, I know.

[Goshawk]

Wish there was a place around here that i could get it printed out on poster board. lol that would be to cool, but then my brother would shoot me if I didnt get one for him.

Thanks! I think I'm going to try this one out, if I find the time to print it before I move out of my current office. The last time I made a paper model was a samurai castle out of Dragon magazine. I don't even want to think about how long ago that must have been.

[HWR MKII]

Thanks Berttt now to print it out so its 1/48 scale

[mojacko]

I have the regular colored version under Macross miscellaneous.
