This looks awesome!

[parman01]

OK...I am back with some news. I consider model finished. Of course I could spend infinite amount of time furher refining the texture and hunting for perfection but I'm already pretty satisfied with the result.

I made custom color scheme inspired by various artworks in Repainted concept art topic.

[Magik0012]

That is friggin sweet!!

I totally don't have the patience to build that.. all the cutting and the snipping and the gluing and the folding..

I would be all, "ARGH!! HULK SMASH!!"

[BLaaR]

You did stunning work, and should be very proud. It does look friggin awesome.

Please tell me you will release it as a PDO file. Building is so much easier and then we can play around with scales to better suit our needs. I for one would build it at 1/40 to scale with my other mechs, while others will like 1/60.

Once again outstanding work.

[ChaosGrinder]

I. Want. NOW Sweet Cheesus !

[parman01]

Ok first beta is out. Some more experienced papercarft makers please take a brief look and see if it's unfold correctly. I tried my best to make building process as comfortable as possible.

The exported PNG images will result in 320 mm tall mech (he will be slighty taller than Mauler in a picture I posted before). I also included .pdo file if you wanna do any rescaling. (and also for checking corresponding faces since it's not entirely obvious where many parts go )

I plan to create Founders paint scheme next.
Stay tuned.

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing this parman01.

[M4NTiC0R3X]

You made that out of paper? That Atlas is looks pretty damn killer! Good job! I'd keep those little action figures for a life a time

./toy battle commence!

[BLaaR]

Yes, finally..............so glad you finished it, and you released it as a PDO file too. You are keeping every one happy.

Thank you sharing this model with us. I am sure you will see a built beta pretty soon .

Amazing work.

I also took the liberty to spread the news, hope you do not mind.

Whoaa I just found out Founders head is totally different from standard one. It doesnt even closely fit the mesh, so simple retexturing will not work here. Fear not however...I'll make sure that Founder will look like Founder.

[Spiketail Drake]

Sweet. Will wait for that one and build it. Keep up the good work, the regular version looks kickass already.

[parman01]

Founders head is done. Rest of the mech will come soon. I tried to keep the feel that founder mechs are at least 200 years older and much more used than standard ones.

[Dopenudist]

That looks awesome.

I think i will try to build it.

I already built the MW4 Atlas but the detail of your work is very cool.
The only thing i mentioned is the "skirt" around the shoulders. The inside is right now white. But i think i print that two times and glue them together.

Or do i wait for the "founders" edition? Or build booth version? Hrr, so much questions.

I also like that you put .tga files with because the resolution here is much much much mor better than in Pepakura.

Maybe there comes another camo variant? Or with some insignia or logo? (something like: Big Badass)

[Dopenudist]

First step is done.

I was wondering when you are going to rock up here.........about time.

Now we will see a built paper MWO Atlas in now time. As per usual you are off to a great start.

Keep us posted.

[Dopenudist]

Yeah BLaaR

I didn´t made much papercraft the last time. Too much other things to do. But that Atlas awakend my fingers again

And sometimes i must build all the cool mechs you made.

[parman01]

Yay really awesome work. Keep rocking.

On founders Atlas. What I thought would be simple task of putting blue paint with some yellow stripes in color channel turned out to be quite a challenge. I realized there should be some pretty detailed rust, more dirt, more scratches and overall more detail in texture to make it look good. So slight delay is expected.

[AndyHill]

Damn you!

I was looking for 'mech model kits when I bumped into downloadable and printable stuff. I thought it looked neat, I'll just fold myself a 'mech with nothing better to do one evening. A week later, fingernails bleeding and eyes watering I finally had my Timberwolf finished. But I wasn't happy. I had found the greatest looking Mad Dog papercraft plans and I had to build it. Literally had to, an innocent one evening's pastime had turned into a hobby and finally become an obsession.

All my freetime gone for another week I ended up with two paper 'mechs and a nervous breakdown. But I was satisfied. I was even able to resist the temptation of building the awesome looking awesome I also found. I was happy. Was.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Dopenudist]

Little Update:



So 19 out of 176 parts are done

I made a little bit customization with labeling and my name on the head.

I build the whole mech with 180gr photo paper.

I love those things like the armor plates around the head.

[BLaaR]

You are progressing at a steady pace and your building skill is top notch. This is going to be so cool once completed.
