With superglue I usually don't have to make the paper so wet to have problem with paper flatness, for other epoxies I've never had the paper wrinkle up on the tabletop either but then again I don't work with the stuff too often. So basically I just leave it on the worktable until it dries.

I'd try using a triple layer paper arrangement: - the paper you use for the model with the patterns on the outer layers, - a middle layer of (probably thicker) paper impregnated with superglue or if you need bigger area then epoxy... (please note I'm not sure the stuff I have in mind is...

Thx! Yes and now I remember why I didn't make any more illuminated models after Legion, working around wires and optical fibers is annoying :) It's made from a PET plastic bottle. There's a hungarian mineral water brand that uses nice colored bottles (although the orange colored one tastes...

Finished with the Onmi-tool hand aaand ..... it turned out all right. I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but I think instead of re-trying I'll make a "biotic power use" hand and make the hands interchangeable. (btw. there are 5 yellow lumibugs in the wrist ring to illuminate the omni-tool)

So little time for papercraft nowadays T_T ... but I've finished with the rifle, next step is the Omni-tool.

Haven't had much time this weekend but I did start on the Phaeston Assault rifle. The weapons on my models are usually the hardest to make the right shape. The small boxes makes keeping the weapons straight and symmetric a nightmare. Also since these are not "organic" it's much more noticeable...

I've forgot to post about my recently finished project mainly because it was so long in the making, I intended to make this a build thread but camera has given up the ghost and I didn't have my new phone yet T_T .... So this is what I was working on for the past half+ a year or so Tali'Zorah...

Hello everyone it has been a while! I haven't had much time to build lately so my previous projects took a long time ... but I think I've hit my groove again (I hope that's the phrase :) ) Also I got myself a phone that can actually take decent pictures, so here's my first build thread ...

Hi there! I'm usually making my templates based on models pulled from games. Most older games you just need a converter that can convert the format the game uses to something usable by editor. (as mentioned in previous posts) For newer ones you usually need an extractor that can get the models...

Yes that's definetely a con for inkjets, using (matte) photo paper and a photo printer does improve print quality (and the cost ;) ) a lot though.

I can just agree laser printers (usually) print very pretty pictures but the moment you try to fold it It will crack or just peel right off. I personally use an Epson Stylus P50 altought not with pigment ink (couldn't find any cheap for reasonable postage to/in Hungary), and it works really well...

I cant think of anything else, except maybe using something like AutoCad (just guessing) or that script package for Google Skechup (never tried it)

So you import a model from an .obj file, (assign textures if needed), hit auto-unfold and it doesn't do anything? or just the parts it makes are white? If it's the first case well that's definitely not working right maybe try reinstalling it, if it's the latter case there is a setting that does...
