Hi all,
quite new here, mean most of the time I was in local forums. my site hobikitkertas.com, is a partner site of paper-replika.com, well maybe some of you knew me :D

Okay, this is my latest development, an entirely new Gundam Impulse. was made special for a local exhibition together with Jules for his paper-replika. Havent release it yet, and it may be take some time before I can finally release it. This version taken with MG body proportion, kinda different with my old impulse which was using a 1/100 grade body as a reference.

if you wanted to have an unreleased version, (which won't have adequate instructions), please contact my mail on [email protected]
Some pic below shows another pose, before I lock the joints for flying mode (I was trying to make a posable version, but they wont be good fixed state to be shown on the exhibition, they will keep falling. Thus I will end up releasing it as a "free to pose" instead of "movable joints"), and of course, a pic of my hand :D

Oh yeah btw, I made this model without any flaps for gluing. Everything just the faces glued together on their side, side by side. I'm using 80g inkjet paper. The non-flaps and thin paper combinations are great for small parts, like the chin you see there. They do also surprisingly great for long gluing area like the shield below.

Oh yeah,
forgot to mention the scale. It was non-standard gundam scale. My built is about 1:121 scale. I think I might release it with an 1:100 scale, as they are common and can sit side by side with their plastic counterparts, and of course hopefully be easier to build.

Very well done. I find 80g a little flimsy, but for small scales it sure is enough.

What glue did you use?

What glue did you use?

a "fox" branded glue. white glue type, become transparent when dry, like the yellow bottle in the picture. Its a cheap but powerful glue.

You guys got this kind of glue out there??

Yes, I've got something very similar. Thank you for info :)

Wow! Nice job on your Gundam. I can't believe you built the whole thing without tabs. :eek:

Do you have any idea when you might release it?

@57townsman
THanks, I might release it after do some rescale it to 1:100. Will be a little bit larger though, and might become harder of no-flaps / tabs. But, hey, I think it's still doable.

To all others...
I think I'm quite in the mood to create a new gundam design. an entirely new. Can you give me an idea of which gundams would be for me to design.. a new one, don't yet exist, your dream gundam, whatever... Just let me know

Thanks!

Cerebrave,

1st off very nice work on your Sword Impulse ;)

2nd as for a design never done before but I would love to see made how about the Tequila Gundam from Mobile Fighter G-Gundam. I know it's odd but I love the design and it's never been made into a model ever.

@G1 and S.soul
Wow.. 2 requests already. Really exotic! Haven't ever seen these gundams
Compared between the two, I like the latter better, but the reference is not as good as the first. Well, can't promise anything yet for now.

My room is still open for the bid. any other proposals?

thats the whole point.

for the Turn-A series they invited a non-japanese designer in to try and get a fresh set of eyes and a new look on the gundam franchise.
syd mead (of bladerunner, aliens, 2010, short curcuit, yamato, etc fame) brought that, and then some.

i think some Turn-A models would be an injection of fresh papercraft designs to the community, much the same as what syd brought to the gundam franchise itself.

hmmm.. now they added shin musha... this latest addition is the most popular IMO. but then, someone has already made the model.. right?

I personally loves seed & destiny series... does anyone can give me any idea from that series?

@G1
I followed you since in zealot, what's your project now? If I ever make the tequila, will you build it for me? as a beta builder.. but then again.. If...

I still can't promise anything..
bid still on!

thanks all!

Hey CB,

If you do the Tequilia of course I'll test build for ya ;)

As for project I've been doing a lot of test building of late. The current build is still under wraps for now till the designer wants it to be known.

If you like Turn A stuff I do have the 3D model art book for references. A great series that didn't seem to get enough love.

Hmmm SEED and SEED Destiny, I do like a lot of the designs but haven't seen the series yet so I couldn't make much of a recomendation. My personal favorite desing you have already done at the start of this thread ;) I love the Force Impulse and my other fav the Strike Noir was done already to by Mr. Tang. I do have a sweet spot for grunt units such as the Strike Daggers, Goons, Bu Cues and such ;) I'ld really like to see a Goon as the only plastic kit is the basic no grade 1/144.

G1

08-14-2009, 08:16 PM

hmmm... got a bite... goon eh? :p

Other than seed series, does anybody know there are good zaku design out-there? been thinking bout this though.

As for Impulse, I did that because of 2 main things. 1. It look great, and 2. you can make 1 design to get all the three (force, sword and blast). I'm also intrigued to make the force variant after rescale and using thicker paper. The same would also apply for strike, as you will get noir, rogue and the weapon variants (aile, sword, launcher and iwsp).

Haven't very much success on "posable" designs. Joints are too loose for paper. I can't pose them without gluing out everything.

Getter 1

08-14-2009, 08:30 PM

Hey CB,

If it's a Zaku you want then how's this one? THe Zaku II FZ from 0080 War in the Pocket.

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/0080/ms-06fz.jpg

The Hygogg from WIP is an awesome design only ever done in 1/144 ;)

Here's a site for you to go check out. It's a must for any reference list ;)

Mecha Profiles | Mobile Suit Gundam (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/index.htm)

In there you can also find stuff from Hevay Metal L-Gaim also. I'ld love to see some stuff come of that series to ;)

G1

cerebrave

08-15-2009, 09:43 PM

G1, thanks...
I go there also to get details like dimensions, etc.. e.g. to determine scale.

for model reference, it is best for me to use a scanned plastic model manual (master grade), which I found mostly in dalong.net.

Been in my thought to make another popular from seed series, like Destiny or Infinite Justice.

Hey, speaking bout my impulse, If anyone here interested to have the template, and make them, let me know, shoot an email to [email protected]

How about an RMS-108 Marasai?

More pics here:
http://www.geocities.jp/kxm3002/MARASAI.htm

Derived from the Zaku series this one hasn't been upgraded to MG yet. Only HGUC 1/144. Too small for me (although I have the original kit from the '80s)

SteveK

57TM,

Yeah the Marasi is a nice design :D THose old kits are rather horible aren't they? If 1/144 is small for you stay away from the 1/144 Gundam 00 kits :P

Here's the 1/144 Exia I'm using the conversion parts to make it an Astrea.

Another builder has succesfully made a beta build. G1, I noticed that I havent fixed something from this beta. Its the shoulder, and something is missing in the PDO instruction (I remembered added this part on the fly). I'll send you a page with some revised parts. Thanks!

p.s. yes he put the weapon wrong, I told him to fixed that....

Oh yeah, about the next build, I'm still open, but almost closed my mind.. this was from local forum request. :D, it could be Saviour Gundam or Infinite Justice (Both from SEED.. Doh!). Oh btw, Jules (Paper-replika designer) is also on search for his first gundam model. he planned a Unicorn Gundam, but it seems he change his plan again. Let's see what will come up from him.

I'll be getting to work in the next day or 2. I got 1 quick build to do before that (Lightning McQueen) for my nephew's B-Day.

Send the file with the corrections whenever you're ready ;)

Your other builder's model looks great BTW :D

Oh Jules if you're listening, we need Tequillia Gundam :D :D :D

sorry for the wrong parts, I will make a revision for sure. Oh yeah, can you help to check out what is the height of you plastic MG Force Impulse? (HEAD to TOE, antenae included) you did said you have one didn't you? Its for my reference.. THanks

On the other hand I've got a test builder for this Blast Impulse. I got no reference for its MG weapon pack, hell there are no MG plastic kit provided for Blast. Currently, I'm in the middle of unfolding it and do some texturing. Next will be the Force weapon pack.

Then to the next gundam .... :D

I have the HG 1/100 not the MG kit but last night I did hold your part sheets to several parts on the trees (the plastic kit's not built yet :P ). The parts I did checks on are a near perfect size match so I thik you're on the mark for scale ;)

I plan on building both models at the same time as soon as I finish Mc Queen.

The Blast Paks look great BTW ;)

57TM,

Indeed they take up less space but 1/144 appeals to me for another reason. You see the 1/100 kits tend to only be of the main suits and perhaps 1 or 2 others but the 1/144 lines tend to have more of the grunt suits which appeal more to me than most of the special units. Take Gundam 00 for instance. My favorite suit is the Terrian. It's garbage compared to a GUndam but it does more for me. Leos in Gundam Wing, GMs and Zakus from Gundam 0079, ect., ect.

Getter1,

Yes, that's true also. I guess what they save by making simpler molds (and what they make on the MG and PG kits :mad:) allows them to make a wider variety. I don't think this is more evident than in the Gundam line, what with 30 years of mecha designs to choose from.:) My fave is the Marasai closely followed by the Zaku line. What can't you do with a Zaku? Tanks, cannons, submarine, space, sniper, and minelayer versions, customs, and more. For me the more menacing the better.:D

I personally like those with antenae, i mean the standard look gundam. well. thats it, I guess every body has their own personal favourite, :) that makes this worlds vary.
