Thanks, I will keep adding to the list. These are mostly warhammer stuff but I do other genre of models as well.

Being a full pensioner (Retired) helps and I enjoy making and designing them

Is this sorcery?

And it is all brought to you through the warp storms and Eldar gateways.

Check out my build threads and you will notice the start and finish times are about the same as building a regular plastic model and detailing/painting it. There are some exceptions, like my present build model of the San Salvador Spanish Galeon. The slowdown on this one, is due to the physics of letting the glue to completely set and cutting each individual wood planking by hand.



Here are two more models for the moment, The Landing Craft and the scout vehicle. Both are scratched built.

Excellent work, top notch stuff. Painted versions do not give any indication as to what they're made out of, this is really impressive and very inspiring!

How long does it take you to do one of these ? The quality is phenomenal.

This is one of the ideas behind building them this way. It gives the illusion of being made from plastic or sheet styrene.

Thank you for your comment, if you check some of my build threads, check the start to finish sequence and you can get an idea as to how long it takes me to build them. There is so much to do and the list will grow with each finished model.


To all, I hope that I have instilled the note of curiosity and to make some of you think outside of the box. That is to either buy the GW model and modify it or to scratch build your own. Over at Zealot.com, there is a build thread on warhammer 40k by armorman, check it out and you will find just about every imperial vehicle there as free downloads. Almost all of them are depicted in color plans and some in black and white so you can design your own army unit or marine chapter.. There you will find imperial, chaos, eldar, orks, dark eldar, and some necron stuff. You will have to join, but the site is free and start of with an introduction. My build threads are there as well under the same avatar. Enjoy and see you all around the forums.

Here are some of my models that are no longer in my possesion but you can find their build threads over at "zealot.com or papermodelers.com" Enjoy and see you all soon with more to come..

Your work is so amazing! You can't even tell they're paper! Big fan of the storm talon and also the Catachan boats and jeep since they're my favorite army. So detailed... Good luck with your paper models!

Thank you for your comments. There is an artist out there by the name of Eli Patoroch. He has designed almost all of the Imperial Army armor and many variations of each. He has the templates for the baneblade, and its variations. Many variations of the chimera and space marine vehicles. You can find those templates at "zealot.com" and under the warhammer section by armorman. You have to sign up, make your introduction and have fun.

In the meantime, here are some more models that I no longer have in my possession. A landing pad predating the one from GW. A lightning, Vulture and rhino. Some of my figurines. A battlestar Galactica Stealthstar. The Stealtstar moving in front of the Raptor and a viper.

Amazingly well done.

Pure awesomeness right there

Again, thanks for the comment. I believe that in my past life, I must have been a toymaker at the north pole.

My god these are beautiful!

Thanks for looking in. At the moment I am busy with a large project, the San Salvador Hybrid. It is a very detailed ship and physics (Glue and paint setting) Holds me back. I have to wait while one section sets before I can continue. I am usually done with a model in lest than a month and this is still ongoing for over two months going on three.

This is brilliant stuff and really quite inspiring! I'm going to try this out for sure. Thanks for showing these. I'm a huge fan of your AT-ST, I'm going to Ork-ify that bad boy!

I would like to see that conversion, "WAAAUGH"

My modeling is at a standstill for the moment due to a short sabbatical and I hope to start building again around the 20th of February. See you all then. I will drop in every now and then to check on the builds from other members, Enjoy and see you all around the forum

I can't wait for more!

Super-fantastic.

Where do you get your patterns? Do you make them up? Can you share?

Where did the UD-4L Cheyenne come from?(thats the dropship from Aliens)

I usually lose heart when attempting to do stuff like that...but I will TOTALLY do one since its impossible to actually find a plastic or resin model of it.

ETA: I found something, but I don't know if its the same one. What was your source?

Jaw dropping stuff, I simply would not have thought it possible.
The gunboat ship thing is brilliant!

Yeah! Linky for the alien drop ship.

TheLionOfTheForest wrote:I can't wait for more!

More will be on the way but I have to finish that boat first

The Landing craft, escort fast boats, recon patrol vehicle are scratched built.. The majority of the Warhammer stuff is from the desk of Eli Patoroch and you can find his templates over at http://www.zealot.com/ and http://www.papermodelers.com/ You will have to join, make and introduction and browse the forum for a myriad of paper models. Eli's models will be under "armormans warhammer" post. His models are readily available though out his post. Please join up and post some of your works there as well as here.

The aliens dropship can be found at http://aliens.humlak.cz/ It is a difficult model to build. I changed the perspective from portrait to landscape and it unscaled it to about 1/72 scale. There are some more very intricate models there as well to include the whole landing base of Handley's Hope and a small version of the APC and a 1/35scal version. There are also some full size models of the Marine Assault Rifle and Judge Dreads peace giver.

The landing craft is mine and Is scratched built along with the other stuff mentioned above.

TheLionOfTheForest wrote:Yeah! Linky for the alien drop ship.

The link is posted above. As for some of the building sequences, you can find them here at dakka. The Landing craft was posted over at ecardmodelers, but the site has been renewed and there is no access for it. When I get home, I will look it up in my other data storage and upload a zip file on it. Until then, enjoy and see you all around the forum.

So many cuddly paper models. I wish I could see a battle report with just them, and whenever a model dies you physically destroy it.

I would not destroy or burn them if they lost, unless maybe they are Orcks or Chaos

Perfect. Orks vs Chaos battle report. Whoever dies, burns.

A treat for the dakka forum. Here is my Landing craft. For a more detailed build report, it is located over at papermodelers.com.

Bravo sir amazing stuff.

hank you and I am pleased that you have enjoyed my works. An now, for another treat for DakkaDakka. The designer, DaiSHi, Has given me the okay to post his models here for your enjoyment and a link to his site for downloading the free templates. I must warn you, that they are hard to construct but the finished product is remarkable and the are like G-I joe 12 inch size. I thought of taking the armor for the Sororitas and applying it to a Barbie Doll. They are fantastic and I hope that you all will enjoy the treat and attempt to build them. Here is DaiShi's site[url]http://daishi.elementfx.com/

Here is the finished Eldar Wave Serpent. at the time of this posting, The build thread is being updated with build sequence photos. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/525966.page#5642692 I hope that you will enjoy the process and build of my paper (Card stock) model. Here it is next to the Eldar Jet bike also made from paper.

I represent Games Workshop and I must inform you that your paper models are a copyright infringement punishable by law. Please cease and desist and burn your law breaking art work immediately!

All kidding aside those are very cool, never thought paper could make such great models.

Thanks for looking in. I used to scratch build with styrene, resin, bitz and whatever I found laying around. I really do enjoy the GW models and the Eldar models are the hardest to replicate in paper, due to the curvatures, but as you can see, it is possible. Some of the Tau are hard to build too but they are also possible as shown with the Piranha model. There are more models to come this way. Enjoy and see you around the forum


BTW, wait until the Chinese get a hold of molds and start to recast the figures.

I am so impressed by your building! What are some materials and techniques you use to assemble them?
