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

Click on my avatar and check out my build threads on many of my models shown here. The build thread has a myriad of techniques and tricks for the construction of the models. For the Wave Serpent check out http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/525966.page Have fun and enjoy Thanks for looking in.

When I saw this I was like...

I know what you mean, I have seen people just stare like Stewie too when they see my models. That is why I have a couple of models unpainted so that they can see that it really is paper.

Here is the APC from ALIENS finished. The build thread still continues for the moment but here it is. The drivers door opens and the troop door slides. The wheels can be positioned into a turning radius and the turret turns and slides on the rail system. The top panels are removeable to show the interior details. Overall it was an interesting model to build. Enjoy while I think up what next. A Baneblade, maybe.

Thanks for looking in and your comments. Over all, it was fun building this model out of cardstock. It would have been a great styrene built model as well. Enjoy and see you all around the forum.

I don't even know what to say to this. This is just so awesome.

OMG this stuff is so cool.

To all of you, thanks for looking in and for your kind comments. Enjoy until the next time.

Here are the final photos of the Baneblade. I am pleased as to how it came out. It is based on the Warhammer GW version but with slight differences. I hope that you have all enjoyed the build as much as I did in the construction. With all the lamination, it is sturdy enough to withstand table top gaming and it almost weight the same as the plastic version. In the final photos, I did not show the opened engine compartment and the crew hatches are closed. Eli Patoroch, the designer, did a fantastic job in the design, I just worked it my way but it is still true to his design. Enjoy and hope to see you all soon with my next project.

I like the black and white ones. Looks positively surreal against the white backdrop. xD

nice work,

Again, thanks for looking in and for the comments



At the moment, I am working on another 40K imperial guard vehicle. It will wind up as a conqueror or punisher on a chimera body. Until then and I start on a new thread, enjoy and see you all soon with more of my works.

These are all amazing. Can you use the paper ones in an actual game though?

As far as I know, GW will not accept scratchbuilt models at a sanctioned tourney. You can use them in local tourney with approval from the gamers or the game arbitrator. It is a shame, because before the Armageddon time frame, the rules book had in the back a DIY (do it yourself) guide. It would list the points that could be attached to a game piece. Back then, White Dwarf had templates for making DIY models, the Bane blade is one of them by Tony Cotrell, and also they had Rhinos and wave serpents too. There are a few White Dwarf baneblades posted here from way back in time. Anyhow, thanks for looking in and for your kudos. See you around the forum and in my next build thread.

Here are the final photos of the finished Punisher. i hope that you will enjoy the photos as much as I did in building it. You can follow the build thread here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/544605.page#5951050 enjoy and see you all next build thread.

Thanks for looking in and your comment. I really do enjoy building these models and the many others that are not 40K related.

How about you up your game a bit? Instead of paper, use thin sheets of styrene and give them some significant durability.

In actuality, I have built them in the past out of styrene. I can guarantee to you, that if I accidentally dropped a styrene/plastic model off a table top. I would have a bit of a repair to do do on the model. The knowledge that I gained from my days of styrene, helped me in the construction of these paper models. I tend to laminate heavily and the sheets and panels can compare to styrene. Once the parts are laminated, I treat the parts as if they were styrene. Due to their lamination's, they are as sturdy as one made of styrene, and resin will or may crack. There is no flexibility in resin made models. My models can withstand constant use and the builds are very strong because of this. I can drop one of my models off the table top, and continue playing without having to break out the glue. The only danger/enemy to my builds, is WATER or FIRE. Other builders make theirs straight of the printed templates and they tend to be thin and flimsy, I go past the designers instruction and make the process much more sturdy. Thanks for looking in and for your comment.

Well here is the finished product of my Daimler Dingo. It was a very widely used scout vehicle used by the British and its commonwealth. This one depicts a vehicle used by the Rhodesian Army Z.Scouts. It has the parent organization badge of the SAS on the sides. It was a very interesting model to build and it also falls in line for use with the Imperial Army or a great loota vehicles for the Greenies. I hope that you all have enjoyed in the building thread and hope to see you all soon with more stuff from my project desk. See you all around the forum.

The Galleon is finished but as of the moment, the build thread continues. This is one of my longest build threads that I have done. At times, I felt like putting a match to it. Now that it is finished, I am pleased as to how it came out. I hope that all of you who have followed the build thread, enjoyed it. And now, to move on to something else, maybe something Steampunk which I have not done a model of yet.

Love the work.

Love the storm raven walker.

Thanks for looking in. Hopefully, my works will help other scratch builders out there make better models than mine. There is a wealth of artistic talent here at Dakkadakka.

Thanks for looking in, and for your comment. There will be more model to post in the future. Enjoy and stick around for more.

Other than some horse drawn coaches and civil war pieces, and planes, this is it for now, the Batman returns Tumbler. And yes, other than the wooden axle to hold the very heavy laminated wheels it is made out of paper (card stock) Enjoy and see you all soon

Would you mind to post a picture of this side by side with a GW infantry model? I want to see its side, as the design goes very well with something im planning...

Awesome DIY work, what materials do you use and how do you get these cool designs

For the Horse drawn vehicles, they are rather large, maybe about the same scale as the Star Wars figurines. As for the Galeon, the forge world and especially the Necromunda or Epic figures will complement it. Photos are attached. If you cut off the base extensions, they will fit to scale.

If you check out the build thread, it gives the url site to download it for free. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/488652.page If you follow my build thread, it will be totally different from the established build sequence. It is a full paper model but I made it with wood over all. The inside structure is all card stock and some of the trimmings as well.

Well this one is finished and here are the final photos of the STEAM PUNK tracked vehicle. I hope that you all have enjoyed the build thread on it. This was a very unique and enjoyable build. Enjoy and see you all with my next project.
