Get a look at them Gams!

Hey folks!

Had a little free time while the wife watched some chick show and the littlest one was sleeping, so here's a progress report on The Evil Dead papercraft extravaganza I'm working on!

If you read the blog you know Ash already has his head, chainsaw, boom-stick, and auto-mail hand. If this is your first read of my blog, SHAME ON YOU!, but here's a pic of what I had done previously:

This should be old news for you!

I only had a few minutes to work with so I started on the legs. The legs are designed weirdly, which seems to be a theme with this model. Instead of being one piece, its two. One for the bulk of the legs, then another sort of like a cap. Very odd design to me.

Anyways, I'm going to be getting busy on this model set because I have a few much more complicated models I'm eager to get to so this project needs to get finished already! Without further ado, here's a few pics:

Uncut

Main piece

Cut and folded

Glued

So there you have it! Hopefully by next week I'll have Ash completely done and maybe even Cheryl done and Linda started! That's right, the whole set is getting done! I'm also interested in doing an Evil Ash or maybe some Deadites if there are models out there, but that's for the future.

Hope to see you next time!

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!

I'll Swallow Your Soul!!!

Hey folks!

Today marks my triumphant return to papercraft and this blog!

My printer has been dead for quite some time, and I've been pretty busy with work and my band The Long Black Veils. Well I've got a new printer now and I'm just as busy with everything, but I gots ta do me some papercraftin!

The models I'm working on today are very simple, but very awesome, and since I'm out of cardstock (I use 110lb, the lighter of the cardstocks) I figured a simple yet cool model would be good for A4 (standard printer paper).

Anyways, I've just got it printed out and started cutting when the kid woke up so looks like I'll be posting the progress and pics later, but for now here's a teaser, Ash Uncut!
