My latest creation,

The 1:40 paper model of the Clan Novacat Omnimech, based on Shiftdel's unfold of the Mechwarrior4 polygon set.
Primeary armerment: 2 Clan ER PPCs and 3 Clan ER Large lasers.
It is built out of 14 sheets of 180gsm A4 paper.
I've chosen to make the gunbarrels round as opposed to hexagonal and to remove some of the surfaces which led to them being double sided once combined with other parts to save white edges. As these rims and edges are ignored by pepakura and end up distorting the model. Remaining edges and rims were colored with a marker where possible.
Other tools I used were a dul folding tool and a scalpel. After printing, all the scoring was done first, followed by the cutting, subsequently folding and gluing. Finally the combining of the seperate parts.
I incorporated a pole into the lower center torso to allow full torso twist.

Very special thanks to BlaaR for personally sending me the files and reigniting my passion for papercrafting.

Hey, that is damn nice build you got there. My built of the Nova does not even stand up on its own and the legs are a bit shaky where it connects at the hips. I also learned from building the Nova to always re-enforce the hips and upper legs where they join. It makes the model so much sturdier.

I want to sit and re-do the game model of the Nova Cat in the near future just to see how close shiftdel re-modeled his models. He did fantastic work and was one of the poineer model makers back then. Too bad life got a hold of him and he has not released a single mech the past ~2years or so.

Speaking of releasing mechs.

So now here they are.

I thought I'd share my previous creations with you guys as well, hope you like them!
The iconic 75 ton clan Madcat Prime carrying 2 Clan ER large, and Clan ER medium lasers suplemented by 2 machine guns and not to forget the double Clan LRM-20 racks.
The 100 ton Innersphere Fafir wielding the awe-inspiring dual Heavy Gauss riffles and ER PPCs
And the previously shown 70 ton Novacat Prime carrying Dual Clan ER PPCs and Tripple Clan ER Large lasers.
All with full torso twist and around 25-30 cm tall.
Posted Image Next up I am considering the following builds: Parman's high detail MWO atlas, Shiftdel's MW4 Mauler or vulture.
But I would love to build BlaaR's Blood Asp if it gets textured, or finally a good looking Masakari or Awesome too bad there is none out there (there is however a great high poly 3D model by HanaYuriko! Hint Hint :D )

Wow, those are some really really nice builds there. The Fafnir as per usual are huge.

As for the Warhawk and Awesome, well maybe you missed them , but there are paper models of them. Cantaris released both of them some time , well, years ago. Here are the links for them :

MW4 Masakari / Warhawk :
http://www.mediafire...43bf75c0b9b3329

MW4 Awesome:
http://www.mediafire...8jc4d1bjcuw309f

The image I posted is that of another artist who released a PDF of the mech. Cantaris released the actual in game PDO some time afterwards. I posted the PDO file of cantaris. If you are unable to download any of these, let me know and I can e-mail them to you.

I knew of Those models, but I just dont think they do justice to the mechs, the masakari rendition in MW4 is just too skinny, short, weak, hardly the fearsome beast it should be, also the weapon mounts in the arms are the wrong way around. they should be like this: [ '' .. ] [ .. ''].
On the other hand the awesome you have there doesnt look as bad as I thought, not bad at all.

Maybe if we can addapt the arms from http://mwomercs.com/...wk/page__st__20 we might be going somewhere!

Maybe scaling the torso up might also help, and add a better missile rack

Really smooth paintwork on the awesome, how did you manage to hide all the white edges THAT smoothly? :(
I'm looking forward to implementing that on the founders atlas I am building.

all I know is your SuperNova is beyond wicked. Always was a favorite of mine in MW3, thought in TT it was ruined by hideous art and miniatures.

Hey BLaaR, it's good to see you are still kicking around these parts.

I was very happy to find that you released the Mektek (MW4) Marauder model!
It's too bad that all those fine details are squeezed down into a 512 texture. :P
I double-layered the texture.tga over the base camo to give it a bit more "depth".

Now, if I can just find the time to build this booger. :D
