It Begins!

Hey folks! So I put a little time in today on the papercraft, got some progress made.

This is going to be a multi-part set, but I'm really excited about the first piece! I've only got a couple of pics for you today, as my droid is recharging, but the best part is that I finished about half of the Ash model!

I like to do the hardest parts first, while I'm fresh and my hands feel good, so that's what I did, so here's the pics

 

 

Mah Boomstick!

 The Boomstick was a really interesting piece, I've never seen a model that used rolled pieces along with folded pieces, rolling, folding, and gluing them all together. It was a little bit of a trick to get it right, but you'll see in future posts how I got it done.

Ash, Boomstick, Autohand, Chainsaw

There's the boomstick in its finished form, a very simple but oddly and interestingly designed piece. Of course Ash's head looks funny at that angle, but its pretty cool. The autohand was very simple and easy to build. The chainsaw was simple, but I left a piece off because it looked funny, and who needs a safety guard on a chainsaw that's mounted to their wrist?

Anyhoo, I've got tons of pics, a vid or two, once I'm done (same style as my Vivi and Boo vids), and plenty more "what I learned doing this model" moments. I think I've learned something new with every model I've done since the very first one!

Hope to see you back soon!

Hey Folks!

I'm back from the little holiday break and ready to go! I've been busy this past month, with the holidays, my band playing shows (got another one in 3 days!), getting my Class A license (Truck Driver license), tracking down motorcycles, fixing computers, etc lol.

So I finished Half-Life 2 and I'm looking forward to hl2 episodes 1 and 2. What I'm wondering is why are the fps that are being released lately not on par with what valve put out 3 years ago? Single player campaigns seem to have fallen by the wayside, which is fine for the MAG players (love MAG!) but there needs to be an epic standalone game for those who don't multiplay. Anyways, I think I'll turn the rest of that rant into a post over at theoryofgame.

As far as what to expect in the new year from me here, well, the description didn't change, so Whatever the hell I want to talk about! lol. Got the ViVi timelapse (start to finish) in the works, so anyone following that should be happy, gunna be working on a pretty slick Mario model next.

Did some fishing the other day, did fairly well too!

Glad to see the Packers win, lets hope my 49'ers get in there next season! 

So Happy New Year everyone, and I'm excited to get started up again!

ADD creates armless mage....

Hey folks!!

It's been a busy few weeks for me, so sorry about the lack of posts, but I should be back on schedule here starting this week.

Made some progress with Vivi so here we go!

As you can see above I've got the staff, fireball, hat, and body done. Leaving me with just the arms and hands to actually assemble. For any of you that are going to attempt this model, I'll let you know right now, it's not an easy one. The build gets progressively more complicated and harder as you build. Starting with the feet, up to the hat, then the arms and hands.

One part that was easy, however, was the face, which I was going to save for last.

I'm not the world's most patient person, and I'm pretty sure I have some level of ADD going on so here's ol Armless Vivi for your viewing pleasure.

 I'm currently working on the arms for the next post, and then I'll have a final post for the finished Vivi and the pose I choose for him. I'm thinking of printing a backdrop to make a sort of shadowbox for him as well, which I think could be pretty cool. Maybe a diorama style display or something. Either way you can keep checking up for whats going on and I hope to see some comments and such! Thanks!!
