If Pepakura is bad, please define what do you expect from a "good" program? I mean you don't like the controls, or you use the auto-unwrap and not satisfied with it (which I can totally understand)? I know for example that when cutting the models I had a hard time rotating and panning the...

Thx! As for a build thread: I usually remember that I should take pictures halfway trough a model T_T will try to remember next time. Speaking of next time there will be a big model convention in 3 weeks near here and I have to rebuild the word wall perch for my dragon till that (varnish...

Wow I'ts been a while since I've posted anything new. About a year ago I've build my Mk2 Frost Dragon, which turned out to be one of my best ... until the cheap photo paper that made up the the word, the upper torso and head turned pink T_T ... It wouldnt have bothered me that much if the whole...

Looks great! It's actually a lot better than the original build I've made. That big round thing that looks like a Star Treck deflector on the back, is not round at all on my build hehe. DaiShi EDIT: Squirting down some expanding foam into the legs makes wonders for the stability.

Ok that's .... SERIOUSLY COOL! I think that's about my favorite built so far (mine are excluded cuz im partial :P) But seriously I love how it looks: that stand is very cool, the colors on the are very cool, also everything else is is very cool too. Congratulations!

Yeah I figured its some incompatibility with my ink and the cheap paper, but still every sheet should BURN Actually 3 so far the 4th will be coming. I didn't want to destroy it. Just saw off the parts that are on verbatim paper and use them during the rebuild. that leaves the head and neck...

Well there goes the timetable for my next project. :curse: :curse::curse::curse: Every sheet of ezPrint photo paper should BURN ... IN HELL :curse::curse::curse: Looks like I'll have to behead, dismember and disembowel my dragon. and rebuild about half of it ... the more complex half. :cry...

I just want to note that I primarily use color markers and found that when I cut the edge with a blade the colors indeed bleed in. But when I use scissors they work fine. My hypothesis is that since my scissors are not razor sharp they tend to compact the paper on the cut edge enough that...

It is possible! I've done it on my original dragon (ok it had the few internal parts that is in the pdo) but It couldn't support its own weight and its legs and wings started to sag after a few months, making the whole dragon tilt more and more forward. The legs can be made more stable with...

Thx all! there will be a small model exhibition near here in 2 weeks we will see how the judges like it. :) It's not gene-engineered, its a pseudo-dragon familiar, had to cast the spell for 20 hours till it showed up ( <- Its a D&D reference :mrgreen:) Nah! I took some pointers from your...

Finally finished with my Frost Dragon MkII so I'm pretty pleased with myself right now. :cool: The moss turned out quite well I was expecting it to looks about half this good. I've attached some pics but the there are higher resolution versions here and here, and ofc. in my gallery.

jawdrop Wow! That Looks Great! Unfortunately I cant do thing like that ... T_T. I'll try a Battletech themed vignette after the Dragon and I'm already dreading the base for it :)

Ok I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. (And I'm reasonably sure its not a train headlight :cool:) My Mk2 build is almost completed only the tail left to finish! All the expanding foam I intended to use is dried and hardened so I think its safe to say that excluding a major...

Nice collection! And nice build. That particle rifle looks really really well done (mine looks nowhere as good :oops:). I actually started on Ashley a while back but ME3 kind of killed the series for me and I couldn't work up the inspiration to finish the template. T_T Looking forward to see...

Sorry I didnt post any updates lately: had some camera trouble, and I really didn't want to use my phone camera. So the wings are done, since Ive used thinner paper this time around I could cut away the membranes to give it a more ragged look. I used expanding foam and wooden sticks to...

OUCH!! That doesn't look good! I started experimenting with expanding foam too, on my MK2 dragon build. Found some with a low expansion ratio / slow dry time. But have to rebuild the left wing because it dried with the wing in a warped position. Its great stuff when it works! But if it fails...

Ive gotten a little busy for the last month or so but here is an update: I've mostly finished with the Word wall for Mk2 to stand on. I still have to glue in the internal bracing, but I think Ill wait with that until the whole dragon is finished. I've used 190 gsm matt photo paper for this...

Yes well the camera makes the dragon way bluer than it actually is. cant really help it, I think its maybe something in the photo paper. because with plain paper the pictures were not as saturated as IRL not they are over-saturated wall1 And if you recall I wrote somewhere that my Mk1 is was...

Looks AMAZING!

Finished with the head! Turned out great IMO! The photo paper tends to make the edges more visible, but the additional details on the texture makes it worthwhile. (e.g the horn on my Mk1 is solid black T_T) So here are some pics: Next ill build the Word wall and if the template is OK, and...
