I actually Hand-designed and made Pikachu’s Monocle, Hat, and (you can’t see it, but it’s there) mustache out of scrap cardstock.
EDIT
in a Professor Hubert Farnsworth (futurama) Voice Good News everyone! I got my Digital camera Back. Take THAT, scammers!
UPDATE TIME!
Remember the 1:50 scale clone troop I told y’all about in the last update (lowres)?
Here it is next to an unmodified Lego minifig (yes, it’s that F***ing small)
Here’s a Retake of the whole group from the last pic With some progress on the AT-AT
And here’s Gentleman Pikachu for your meme-making pleasures
You should redo the monocle and top hat in something other than biro…
biro?
Ball-point pen or other similar writing implement that you used to colour them?
Yeah, I designed the accessories roughly, and at the time, I couldn’t find a black marker so I just used a pen.
My next project after the AT-AT will be a Palm-sized WALL-E model designed by Indonesian Paper Modeler, Julius Perdana.

I think you need more clone troopers… lots more
Like a whole army of them xD
I WAS going to Build a Small WALL-E papercraft, but it seems as if the brilliant fuckers at Meijer’s Ink refill center are high as a fucking kite and Half-assed the Color ink cart we bought. ETA on the pages; week after next or later.
Bigfan421, you should make a half-life 1 HGRUNT, with the gas-mask, and the huge back-back and everything!
It just occurred to me on the fifth page of following this thread to ask:[indent]What makes paper an ideal medium as opposed to something almost as cheap, much more flexible, and much more permanent like clay???[/indent]
Because people like to be different. Ultimately, because its harder to work with paper, people are more likely to be amazed at the good work, and people like other people to love their stuff. And isn’t everyone’s goal in life to get others to love their stuff?
Also, paper models can be made by anyone and come from a template. Clay models do not.
Clay becomes a worse medium as the scale drops…
Not really. There are some pretty small clay models. It all comes down to the skill of the crafter.
@WaffleWarrior7: as the Hl1 Hgrunt exists as a computer model, Such a feat wouldn’t be entirely out of the question. my only problem would be finding, Converting, and unfolding, And as I have no idea how to do those, Such a feat would be impossible for ME
@ComradeTiki: As usual, Shut the Fuck up. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Paper is a lot more impressive of a medium to work with and is, as a matter of fact, CHEAPER.
I’ve finished the Wall-E model I’ll get a couple of pics up by tomorrow afternoon. Next project: a pepakura-designed model of the Corellian Corvette (Tantive IV) from the opening scene of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
EDIT
I’ve misplaced my camera… again.
So, No pics. Sorry guys!
Looking forward to the Tantive IV model, whenever that is completed! As for the rest of your models, I’ve already mentioned how good a job I think you do in another thread 
Oh, I forgot to mention that I finally put the Antenna and Pair of blue hoses on the Ecto-1.
And If I haven’t already said it, I’ll say it again, Bruce, Your armors are detailed to a level that I couldn’t possibly imagine on detailing my plastics, Great work!
EDIT
I found an approximately 1:1 scale Terminator T-800 CPU (that chip that they toss into the Molten Steel at the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day) Paper Model Sitting in a folder, so I guess I’ll do that as well
It was an honest question, so that tone wasn’t called for, asswipe. [COLOR=‘Black’]Man I’m good at staying on topic!
So the logistical folding challenges in its construction (whose geometry needs to be anticipated) versus sculpting (which can be adapted as it forms over time), plus the impermanence of the medium, make it more difficult/impressive to construct, and serves as a social commentary on the creations of man because everything is ultimately just as fragile and vulnerable as a paper model?
That’s so much more romantic. Why didn’t you word it like that? We could have been happy and had scones in the late afternoon as we laughed merrily at the outrageous ambitions of the feeble human experiment.
I support the decision to manufacture this paper computer chip, and will applaud the inevitable decision to dramatically cast it into a candle or pan of boiling water. …In light of this temptation, perhaps you should make two.
Paper models are basically constructed templates. As constructed templates, anyone can print them out and try. People start with this, then start to like it, and then start devoting their time to it.
Ultimately its as worth while as any other art, clay is just mud after all.
Years ago, I attempted to make a papercraft clock, but gave up because of having to cut out the fiddly gear teeth!
I’m thinking of having another go and have just downloaded the template for a papercraft hubble telescope from the hubble web site. If I ever get beyond the ‘thinking about it’ stage, I’ll post some pictures!
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::hmph:
Destruction of a model aside, said template comes in FOUR variations (the first and simplest of which I have constructed and It fell apart due to inferior glue type [damn you Elmer’s Glue company!]); T-800 CPU undamaged Simple, T-800 CPU Damaged Simple, T-800 CPU Undamaged complex, and T-800 CPU Damaged Complex. The simpler versions of the model are just boxes with flat bits at the bottoms, While the more Complex version of this model has each individual Extruding bit formed and placed onto the cardstock center.
I only ever get rid of my models in the event that they begin to deteriorate.
OH and I also intend to Construct the Complex, damaged T-800 CPU
EDIT it took me a while to get the joke, tiki (as a matter of fact, a record-breaking 24 hours) but yeah, tossing the chip into the Steel wasn’t nearly as dramatic as lowering the T-800 into the steel was.
In any case I might toss the damaged, simple CPU into the firepit on the evening of July 3 2011 to celebrate 20th anniversary of the Release of Terminator 2: Judgment Day
