RX-78 papercraft - day 4

and something else...


It feels like I took a step backwards... but however, I bought a few things, namely a new scalpel, cutting board, professional woodwork glue and a pack of matte photo paper (which is indeed better than regular printing paper for papercraft). Although it doesn't improve my crafting and reading skill, as I screwed up pretty badly on that Nissan 350z by not following the instruction properly (or lack of it). It also doesn't help that Nissan only has a tiny image of the finished model, so it was impossible to compare or reference to. I love cutting with the scalpel, it's better than cutting... if I can do it right. Most of the time... I don't.

RX-78 papercraft - day 2

The 'dinning' table is much easier for me to work on, only problem is I need to move my desk lamp and move it back when I've finish. There was some problem putting it together as the cube shaped connecting piece of the head to the body wouldn't fit inside the head, I had to cut a bit off the back of the face to make it work, it looks ok so far...

RX-78 papercraft - day 1

Papercraft and Japanese

These two things have something in common for me, I started doing them today. My first paper craft model is a Gundam RX-78, it seems simple enough for a beginner. Start the hard way and everything else after that is easy, something I learned from a friend.
