After four years without a printer, I finally picked one up this weekend. Yay! I want to print out extraordinarily complex papercraft of my favorite videogame characters and assemble them over the course of several grueling hours! Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.

I already found some ICO papercraft and Shin Megami Tensei's Jack Frost. I know there's an MGS3 Metal Gear papercraft that's complex beyond all imagination, too. Anything else out there for a printer-equipped fanboy?

Sorry to derail, but Sera's actually posting. Any plans to return to #ga?

Let me do some asking around, I'll see if I can re-find that one.

oh my.

I hadn't seen most of these. Jack Frost looks really good, but the other models seem pretty simplistic to me.
You should definitly try both MGS papercrafts, they look much harder than they really are.
For the complex models you should try using 100g/qm paper (copy paper is ~72g/qm), a cutter, tweezers (to press the flaps together while the glue is hardening) and paper glue.

Here are my papercrafts:
Blue Falcon
Arwing

I will probably finish my Gundam Freedom model in the next week.

If you have questions, feel free to ask!

hah, nice avatar, Buds. Yeah, I've been there for a while, but I don't see you. Chatting it up with the late, late night crew. It's been too long. :,)

hell yes, that's it bjork. Printing them at the school library > things.

 

[aku:jiki]

This just won't help at all, but Sony has Saru buses somewhere in the "PS Land" part of the site. Since they rearranged their whole site recently I don't still have the URL, though.

And Namco has a Klonoa model somewhere too. No idea on URL there either.

But at least now you know that they exist!

I made a paper Gamecube back in 2000 or 2001 when PGC posted a litte guide on how to do it. Became a place for the cash I was saving to buy it in November.

 

[ourumov]

I think Konami has one for Shattered Soldier (the motorbike of the second stage).

 

[hirokazu]

i attempted to make the Metal Gear Rex one, didn't get very far though, i'll try again sometime but print it on bigger paper, A4 was too small to mess with the tiny tabs.

I don't know how I've missed you then. Guess I'll start crashing #ga more often.

SO ON AND SO FORTH.

You're kinda inspiring me to get some nicer paper and hijack the office color printer for the rest of the afternoon.

[JackFrost2012]

this thread rules ... I love you guys *sniff*

can anyone recommend a good thickness of cardstock?

 

[brandonnn]

I hereby officially request pics of Vestal & any other papercrafters in a King nose.

Bonus points if you're also wearing a mog suit.

I can't remember if I posted about those SMT papercrafts here or not. They're pretty cool, although the Jack Frost is far better than the others they have on the site lol.

 

[KonVex]

Try 100g/qm - 120g/qm. Copy/Printer paper is usually ~72g/qm and should only be used for small models. If you take more than 120g/qm, the glue will dampen the paper and seperate it into several layers (like a tissue).

 

[AfroLuffy]

Here's a cool site for some simple papercrafts; seriously, if i can successfully make them, anyone can. Featured within: Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Domokun, Catbus, etc

 

[jenov4]

And here's another link to some great looking papercraft. I like personally like the motorcycles.

Here is a pretty nice yumeria model that I found while I was searching for skies of arcadia papercraft.
I wish there was a delphinus model.

 

[onion_pixy]

Oohhh! I have to buy some cardstock those arcade ones look just too cool!! heavy, your dollhouse arcade kicks ass! Not video game related really, but does any one know of a Tare Panda papercraft? Ive found an orgami Tare, but thats not quite what Im after. He's probably too soft and round to be a papercraft. But if anyone knows of one Id be eternally grateful!

 

[Joe]

nice to see you boys interested in arts and crafts.

I made two of the Yamaha motorcycle models. They look great when it's done. The wheels are a bit hard to do though. And make sure you use heavy stock paper when making some of these papercrafts; it seems much easier to fold and it holds itself pretty nicely.
