Cheers very muchly, must admin I didn't think I'd enjoy the papercrafting idea as much as I have been, I think its the scaling up factor thats the most interesting.

Great work on the Grey Ultramarins by the way...nice to see some classic space marine models are still out there and going strong!

Awesome stuff, I shall watch with interest. Loving the paper craft bolter especially, though I await that chainsword the most.

Yea, so far the Ork papercraft is incredibly slim, as in, not there

Cheers very much glad you like them...I'm hoping we can get enough people interested in it as possible and lobby for a section on dakka where people can upload their own designs etc

Spending any spare time I have on the chainsword at the mo and will update with some build pics asap.

P.S...love the Dread base you've got uploaded, did you use some real twigs in there somewhere?

Yep very limited, I've come across a few looted tanks when searching for other space marine items but not being an ork player I didn't keep a note of them, I'll try and dig back through my history see if I can find them.

Did notice that someone had made an Ork in Google Sketchup that could be exported into the Pepakura designer if that helps any? I'll try to dig the link out and post back later today.

^_^ Thanks. The log in the back is part of a real stick. Got it with the sand that's on the base. I miss that lake.

Cool models cheers for the link. You might be interested in http://paperhammer40k.com/ lots of interesting templates here. I'm messing about with a few Killa Kans myself.

Woo not so long no updates this time

Just a quick one to show I really do finish mad projects that I start. Pics below of full sized Salamander Space Marine helmet finally finished. Gave it a few thin coats of fibreglass resin to help stiffen things up a little and finally a good 3-4 coats of clear coat salamanders green, (with suitable heavy battle damage) along with a mini desktop sized version to keep at work as the full sized version took up too much space

Desktop Version (Last pic was taken on A4 paper for scale reference)


Full Sized Version (Thats Space Marine Full Sized so looks really stupidly large unless you're 8' tall and built like a brick out house )

(Last pic taken with a 150mm or 6" square for scale reference)

Please post pics of anything you're building!!!

Woohoo, after a bit of an epic build session tonight I've managed to get the basic skeleton of the chainsword pattern complete, (1000mm from end to end)...1 tooth down, 19 more to go
Any and all comments/suggestions on improvements most welcome, feel free to PM me if you'd like a copy of the pattern to make one

These are actually pretty darn impressive ! I'm very tempted to conjour up a space wolf one now. Curse you !

Yes Yes Yes do it do it do it!!!!!!!!

Just remember to post some pics Feel free to let me know if you'd like any of the patterns used in this blog

Hi all, back from a fantastic day out at Warhammer World earlier today and filled with a renewed sense of inspiration etc I've had one last push and finally finished the build stage of the full sized chainsword I've been playing with, pics below...just need to decide how to paint it now, feel free to PM me if anyone would like a copy of the pattern to have a go!

Nicely done! Are you still going to put the Salamander head on the hilt? Can't wait to see it painted.

Yep will indeedy, decided to leave it off for now to make the painting easier, hoping to get time over the weekend to get the fibre glass done and painting next week, will post pics asap.
