    Hell, if you printed them on tracing paper, you could probably do one out of thin aluminum with a pair of tinsnips, a dremel, or a rotozip. Burnish, paint, make a few bits out of thin (or heat-softened thicker) plastic, and you've got a perfect Hallowe'en prop with the addition of a few glued-in washers or weights to add heft. Maybe toss in some foam latex as well to improve structural stability. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    great idea but it would be a pain to connect pieces of the shiet metal and bend it properly without the right tools

    hence the dremel, and rotosnips.. you will also want a straight edged razor blade to create creases for folds and small cutes (they have two sides for a reason.. use the handle for folds)

    agreed that that is an awesome idea, but i've only printed out the blue pieces (not actually blue) and there're three more sections, and i still have a billion of the blue pieces left! hell this is hard enough with paper, i'd be insanly hard with tin.... i migh do it if i get enough, because this takes 30 sheets of paper... i've only printed out 12 so far...

    and i have my print quality on quick so i dont use up all the ink ^__^ otherwise my printer would die

    I'm waiting for his Smartgun kit.


    I ended up just taking a disc of the images to a print shop and using the Force to get them to print em out for me. Sweeet.


    Also a lot of stuff by other people, eg Miranda class Star Trek ships, the Botany Bay, etc etc etc etc.









    So, who's the first to make the NS LMG and Pistol?

    he is just theoretically making UVW maps... skinning them, printing, and un-UVW mapping...


    lol GO GO MAGIC COOKIE!!!
  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    sheena, don't you think this is a good time to make a paper Tachikoma from your model?

    Nah, it'd be too complicated XD

    But honestly, that stuff rocks. Anybody up for actually doing that with the LMG?

    this made no sense at all... what he say?
  • NecrosisNecrosis The Loquacious Sage Join Date: 2003-08-03 Member: 18828Members, Constellation
    It IS just a UV mapper with little taggy bits on.

    So again, who's going to be first to unwrap all the NS gear so we can become the PAPER MARINE ARMY!! SPAM THOSE MEDPACKS!

    you try folding and glueing 13209714905860976 parts together by hand. it's actually quite hard.
  • NecrosisNecrosis The Loquacious Sage Join Date: 2003-08-03 Member: 18828Members, Constellation
    Its actually quite easy, I did this in work to pass my lunchtime/teabreak.

    Made most of the metal gear stuff, for one.



    Then again, I suppose 17 years of making model kits, two of which involved me being PAID for it, gives me the home advantage.
  • BAshhBAshh Join Date: 2003-08-26 Member: 20222Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    yes it's easy, it's hard to get it to look perfect however. And yeah you do have an advantage, uc i havent really ever done a paper model, never been motivated to, but i thought this was cool so i started it.
