G1 Megatron Papermodel WIP - Page 3

MonkeyRum · 11-02-2010, 09:12 AM

I see this thread got bumped. I'm not sure if this orginal model will be completed. I've actualy started a G1 Megatron of my own and am in the beta build process. Should be ready for release in a couple weeks.

I saw this thread get bumped and just wanted to let people know that I'm currently working on a G1 Megatron.

Here's a preview of the model:

Here's the build so far

It seems to be something with the link to papermodelers forum that it doesn't like when I post.

I just won't post the direct link. If you go to my Deviantart site in my sig link and then to the Megatron previews it will have a link to the thread.

Here is the 3D model I built and altered off a Quake base done by Ancient1. It's probably about 80% reworked and new:

Here is a preview of my build so far:

I actually am further than that pic. The main part is done I'm just working on the scope and arms before the final pics and a release.

Wow that's awesome

MonkeyRum · 11-10-2010, 09:01 AM

Well here he is. I know of a lot of people that have been waiting for awhile for a G1 Megatron papercraft. I finished the beta buil this morning and have attached pictures.

He was printed on 65lb cardstock and printed on an HP Laserjet. Original model was for the Transformers Quake player pack and done by G. "Alpha-Prime" Civita (AKA Ancient1). I took and redid about 90% of the 3d model to make it papercraft ready and enhance areas. The texture was done by me by scratch, followed by an unfold in Pepakura. Final model sits 12.5 inches tall (~31.75 cm) and looks sweet.

I'm not going to lie and say it's an easy build. The head is tricky, but doable. I plan to tweak a few bits here in there and then I'll release it.

I've completed the cleanup of the model and pdo's. I've packaged the 2 pdo's, and the readme. The files are hosted on my Deviantart site at:

Thanks everyone for the comments and support! Enjoy this model!

hellbringer17 · 11-11-2010, 10:32 PM

Amazing work! I love it

although if you dont mind I have a question: would it be possible to create some extra parts and turn it into a WFC Megatron?

MonkeyRum · 11-12-2010, 08:23 AM

It would be another full resculpt to match something like this:

and a full retexture. I personally wouldn't even use the G1 as a base as they are so different.

Man, that is awesome. I'll build it for sure! Thanks for the design!

chapsy · 07-04-2011, 01:07 AM

not bad, the templates are done pretty nicely! great texture work!

Might be a little old, but did OP ever come around to finishing the model he was working on? the model work looked incredibly nice from what I saw.
given that the first post was three years ago it might be an abandoned model at this point though

Did you follow the link above?

http://monkeyrum.deviantart.com/art/...load-185795995

The download link is on the upper right hand side of the page, under "Favorites', it is marked "Download File" , it is a .pdo file, you just need a FREE copy of Pepakura Viewer.

Lots of other goodies on that page. Maybe resurrecting some of these old threads isn't so bad, if you follow them out to their conclusion.

zwave343 · 07-04-2011, 05:34 PM

honestly, i would have scanned the parts after printing them and made them into a pdf file. but im just talking for the people who dont have viewer or designer. ive got both coz they both have features the other doesnt. but nice work. although in the pics his nose looks a little crooked. but nothing to do with the thread, i relized that megtron shoots from the scope of his transformation. i would have made him shoot from his barrel.

That's not a double entendre is it? Sometimes, I shoots from duh hip!

ThunderChild · 07-06-2011, 08:31 AM

Luckily he did not shoot the deputy...

I was talking about Voltron5's model, not Monkeyrum's.
