RZ-028 Blade Liger Papercraft model

I received request for more details of the RZ028 Blade Liger Papercraft model, the original post was on ipapercraft but the blog was closed downed and all model downloads current being transferred to another. I don't know who was original creator of template and all I know it doesn't contain any instructions on how to assemble just pictures of various completed parts. This papermodel is suitable for beginners but for anyone who wants a challenge.

Here are the parts I've completed so far

 Head

(Not shown: Back legs and tail). The body is tricky part sadly the model is incomplete because it got damaged like some of other model (by malicious person) and my old printer is on the blink. I'm planning a remake of whole thing once I get a new printer.
The materials I used:
 ColorBase Vivid Card 170gsm Chocolate, Coral Red, Kingfinger Blue and WHSmith brand 160gsm bright coloured. No less than 120gsm as some parts like legs has be sturdy.
Anita or any tacky glue which is not slow drying or gummy.
Tweezers and tooth picks for spreading glue these are optional.
Paper piercer for scoring lines
Bone folder for sharp folds
On the pages which says Black print out on any dark coloured card stock (I chose Chocolate/Dark Brown) to make it easier to see the cut and fold lines. You have to match the pieces with those completed in the photos and recommended for more advanced papermodel assemblers. I started since 2008 and been on and off, I do have other crafts.

Good luck

WoW Bear finished

This was finished a few days ago. The template is by winged craft you need pepakura viewer and winrar to open the file. Probally the only papermodel I've completed in a long time. Damn those MMOs are so addictive! I'll tell why because lvling is time consuming and gold hard to come by. In the last month it was nothing but playing Dragonquest in the day and Grand Fantasia in the evening. I hated it because there was less or no time for crafting, I returned to atcs using artist trading cards worshop by bernie berlin. Such a pity I don't receive any artsy atcs after all the effort I've put in. You will never find me on World of Warcraft. Kitsu Saga looks interesting. More papermodel I've completed can be found on my flickr stream.

Update on the RZ028 Blade Liger papercraft project

I have spent 2 week making the front legs with the majority of time is guess work, if there were any instructions they would be in Korean as there are some Korean text on some of the sheets. In order for one section to be completed nearly all the parts needs to be made and it's so tedious. You are making the same part 8 or more times and also I had some problems printing on chocolate card as the black ink become faint on the second sheet. Border less printing is recommended in order to get the maximum size of the templates. Not very clear in the enclosed images, the legs are symmetrical- both sides are same as other only the top section which gives indication of direction( right or left and the only parts numbered). There 2 parts not shown in photos. This model is quite a challenge but build-able. One of those models which the sections are rendered individual in 3D program before unwrapped in pepakura. I going to return to making conventional pepakura model, how about something from WOW- World of Warcraft. It will take 2 weeks or so to complete the hind legs. Any instructions will be added later or once the whole thing is completed, there might be a chance someone else is building the model.

Completed and Current Projects

I know it has been a while since my last post because I spend majority of my time playing Grand Fantasia. Mostly in the evening because whenever I try to play in the afternoon some one gets pissy and acts a drama queen. What I hate most is this individual is an attention seekers and receives special help when they are not entitled too goes while in being in a dysfunctional family. Well, I'm going to die early because can't get a decent night sleep because much of my time is restricted. I dislike being restricted in any way (FULLSTOP.)

 

This is what I'm currently doing, RZ028 Blade Liger, I discovered it from ipapercraft and this model is hard. First of all there are no instructions, over 40 pages in pdf. The pages are best printed in borderless otherwise the tabs are too small to fold and glue. So far I managed to complete the head with after some fiddling, there are left over parts I have no idea where they go. (More photos will be uploaded as I go along) I'm using the enclosed images as reference yet there are doubts if the body can't be built. Oddly enough, I added details of this paper model in /po archives back in February and only in April did this it appear on other papercraft sites.

Yes, the Gundam Wing Zero is finally finished. There are instructions on this model check out the /po archives. I couldn't find any dark grey card stock so had to resort to colouring in. This is model is top heavy and need some support at the back. Additional parts are the stand and arms which I couldn't be bothered to build.

Tatting and papercraft

I recently brought another tatting kit, you can buy it from roseground. The first time heard about tatting was in Bead Magazine, they featured a article about a trip to Japan and a tatted necklace was given as present by a student in beading class. Then in same magazine different issue there was another tatted necklace, I thought why not give tatting ago. Searching for tutorial is a nightmare because I hate following written instructions and prefer to view diagrams. There many pages of different terms it felt intimidating so I brought this kit despite downing 71Mb worth of tatting information. At a glance it feels like macramé but more close to knit making and there is prospect of making your own design. I have nagged by my cousins to sell my creative work they have seen my jewellery. One day I will reopen my Etsy shop just not now.

Another skill to master, at one time I wanted to give amigurumi- Japanese crochet stuffed dolls a try. One thing at a time. So far it has been hobby work.

Like papercrafting, I have been working this on 3 days now and not much progress has been made. I decided to try assembling SD version of Gundam Wing Zero. One problem no instructions so I had no idea how to even attempt this models. So I spent first 2 days making parts, on the third day I got bored and annoyed. There has to be instructions because what about inside parts. It turns out there are instructions a lot of people could be bothered to plough through pages of the Model creator's blog. Papercraft.wikidot.com does has translated Japanese instructions of the Gundam Wing Zero. In fact you can get the them from the Mediafire link. It came all too late as I had missed up on helmet parts and need to reprint them again, even with instructions some parts are you need to decide how to glue them together like the helmet wings. The other Gumdam papercraft completed is Musha Samurai SD.(Currently not in folder in flickr, I hope to retake pictures of selected finished models.)
I hope to finish the at least the upper torso and remake the head this evening. At this rate it should take me over a week to complete that is I'm not distracted by Wiiware, a new downloaded game.
