its been a very intimidating prosses but im gettin there..:)

[Barry]

It's a good looking build

[SCEtoAUX]

That looks good, and yes, a figure model is quite a lot to take on early in your pursuit of the paper model hobby.

Might I suggest that you color the edges of the card so the white doesn't show up? You can use felt markers, colored pencils, paint, or what ever you feel most comfortable with. I use colored pencils and color the edges before any glueing is done. The finished models look much better.:)

[Clashster]

Nice work, so far! Figures have always scared me! Looking forward to your progress!

[dustey]

here is another update . did some coloring in on the edges kinda a pain when already glued lol.

That's pretty cool looking. Whose kit is it?

[dustey]

I found it here on this page

http://papercraftparadise.blogspot.com/

they have 2 different posses i picked the less intimidating one ..

[dustey]

Omg im stuck on the hands ..heelp lol.. debating on trying to modify them into fist as they stand its indavidual fingers and real small .. smaller then a tooothpick around.. any sugestions??(if you scroll up to the last pic i posted you can see the finger segments)

[whulsey]

Try forming them around a paperclip. Also fingers are more of a box then cylinder, so don't stress trying to form perfect cylinders.

[dustey]

i stumbled my way threw one hand yay

It's a great build! Can't wait to see the finished spiderman tomorrow...

[dustey]

here is the finished build touched up and glazed(glazed it becouse its going in my 8 year olds room lol) i guess not to bad for a first figure so soon after starting paper models..

now onto something less intricate. A jack-o-lantern,, lol.

[dansls1]

It looks excellent!

One thing I noticed is that you were cutting out the detail bits from the full sheet of paper. Did you have any difficulties in cutting this way? I've always found that I want a smaller piece of paper when I start doing detail cutting to allow me to spin and move it around easier. Just an observation - obviously keep doing what works for you because the model looks great!

[dustey]

i have no real problems cutting from full sheets .dont know why lol but im used to it..thank you for the good review . my son went crazy when he came home from school and saw that on his shelf in his room..priceless...

[Lex]

Absolutely a great model! And the gloss adds to realism! Nice work!

[Clashster]

Beautiful build! Awesome job, considering it was only your fourth one! Like the gloss coat, it will be hard to tell it from resin or plaster! Let's hope it survives the 8 year old!

[whulsey]

Looks good!!

[B-Manic]

That is a great model - excellent build

[Johnny]

Spidey is cool :) At least my little boy thinks so!
Nice build!!

[milenio3]
