In, freakin, credible.

[Dirk Le Daring]

Well, Dope. You have done an outstanding job. <S> Very impressive model.

[Dopenudist]

Thank you but i must thank parman01 for this wonderful model. It was relative easy to build and the details are outstanding.

The problem is: I want more of such mechs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the raven?

[Dirk Le Daring]

Indeed, Many thanks to parman01, it is a great piece of work by him. You, showed us the finished mech first though. I salute you both. <S>

Awesome ! Waiting for this event since the beginning of the beta test. And finally hochHotelos to know whether the author has even the slightest share in the future to see a similar model Catapults or Cataphract ? I am even ready to help test assembly models. Paper models have been doing for 12 years. If there is interested in a help on this issue, please be so kind to answer here or on my mail - stanislav035@gmail.com

Alrighty, here comes founder skin for big A. Enjoy.
Head is in a separate .pdo and should be in scale (please inform me if otherwise). Again I suggest checking corresponding faces on 3d model.

Not yet. But soon.

I was wondering. Can one apply the texture of the first Atlas you released onto the 2nd (fixed) version of the Atlas ?

Also, can't wait what surprise you are hiding from us. I so hope it is either the Catapult or the Awesome

Either way, can't wait to see what you are hiding.

[parman01]

Oh wait. Now I realize. I released founder skin with fixed version but not the first skin. Lol 2 months without realizing it would be nice to have both skins updated. Will fix ASAP

[parman01]

Updated version with first non-founder skin.

Ossim. Thank you very much. Now we have 2 versions which we can build.

I've built some of BLaaR and Shiftdel's models and I love it to bits.
(In fact I'm working on the Novacat right now)

I was afraid that the new poly models would have way too high detail and would never see their way into 1/40 papercraft. But somehow Parman01 pulled it off, and pulled it of so much better than I could imagine.

Sir, I am humbled by your efforts.


Cant wait to build it.

I hope this might inspire the community to keep developing models for the whole world to enjoy.

Thanks parman01 nice model this is my build hope you like it

[Therrinian]

Hey Guys, I've started building the Founders Atlas!
Its lots work progressing slowly to reinforce all the loadbearing parts with cardstock.
Especially as I'm doing it during my exams.

[note to Parman01, on the left side of the torso from the front there is a part on the second page that does not have glue tabs to attach it to the main body as seen on the picture. This is also true for the rear panel of the right side torso part on the same page.
Adding these flaps would make the whole area much stronger as it has to support the arms. Should be easily fixable for an updated.]

Here is an image of how I attempted to fix the flaps and increase stability.

Also, there is an option in Pepakura to 'Color Flaps With Neighboring Faces'.
I'm not sure but I think many papercrafters might use this.
This way the flaps aren't white and the model ends up looking much better if for some reson they are visible. I'm coloring the flaps in by hand with a felt pen, I think Dopenudist must have done something simular.

Parman01, if you could add the colored flaps to the images of the parts that might help future builders a bunch
(I hope you don't mind the feedback, its not meant as critique, I love your model to bits! XD)

[M-Lee]

Introducing you my extended construction Atlas. Collect, slowly but surely. Waiting for your comments.

Looks great KK195.

What are you using too build the model ?

[M-Lee]

BLaaR I use to build regular cardboard and paint, multiple detail make myself visually by fitting. I have to constantly look at the game model to watch out for any details.

Interestingly, you will deploy the model of MWO ?
I would love to put together your new model.
