Not sure what you mean by "desktop" ?

What scale are you referring too ?

Also all my models are unlocked so you can easily modify the scale to suit your needs. If you need help scaling the models lemme know and I will gladly try and help you.

Hi Guys!
Some of my paper mechs, may be interesting anyone=)

[warner2]

Very cool! I'm definitely going to build an Argus (my favorite from MW4).

What paper do you guys use? Just ordinary run of the mill office paper, or something heavier? What about glue?

[Spiketail Drake]

Use heavy printer paper, somewhere in the 120 to 160 gram per square meter. For really big stuff, use 200gr and beyond. Alleene's Tacky Glue works well, but you can use any glue, except for removable photo glue for obvious reasons.

Are you kidding me, that Daishi looks amazing, love the work you did on that cockpit.

Any chance you will build the Super Nova with a cockpit ?

You building skills are awesome and I think the Super Nova will suit it well.

Hello all!
The models looks fantastic. I have been very interested in making them myself. What thinkness of paper do you use?? I have some that is 110 lb but I am thinking it may be TOO thick, the folds and such leave white spots visable. Any suggestions? Should I just try to make my folds tighter? Also, what kind of glue do you prefer? I have been using just regular old white glue, extra strength.

Thanks!

As far as paper / card thickness, I genereally use 2 weights. For the bigger parts I use 200gsm and for smaller folds 120gsm or even plain paper for very small parts. It really is a trial and error in the sense what you find works for you. I love working with the heavy stuff, and yes,there will be white edges but you can color them with water paint or markers erc.

As far as glue, I see many who has access to it, recommends Elmers glue. Our country do not have it, so I just use regular Bostic arts and crafts glue. I suppose any glue that dries clear is good.

As for folds, some use a ball point pen but I prefer to use a blund blade. The only downside is you sometimes have split edges but the upside is you have folds that are crisp.

Good luck. If you need more help, I suggest you register over at either Zealot or Papermodelers forums, the people there knows so much about the paper crafts it is scary.

Hi,

Nice models. I have been looking around for the hellhound (MW4: merc). So far i have been unable to find it (just one dead download link). I really appreciate it if you could help me out. The idea is i make one from paper. Then make a model out of it. Partly wood (since i find it easy working with it) and plastic or w/e i can think of.

If you or anyone could help out, i love to hear it

MWO models are not what you can call, paper model friendly.

You are better off to remodel them using the in game model as reference than try and clean them up to be paper models.

Take a look at the Atlas parman01 made. He did exactly that.

You have to upload to a host in order to display them here. At least that is as I understand it. Will be good to see your models.

You cannot attach images when posting in the MWO forums. You will need to upload them to another hosting site

One of the reasons I started using deviant art. That way I upload once and I can post the pic using my deviant art page.

Man, you must have been busy unfolding this. The torso alone is 300+ parts.

But

Too bad you sat and did the whole unfold but you did no cleaning up of the mesh. There are so many intersecting parts it would take paper model builder of high degree skill to attempt to build it at its current state. You will need to manually sit and cut away each part as you go.

Still nice attempt. But for the average builder I would not recommend it.
