It will take some time to create the development sheets for this hot piece.
comments are welcome!

Textures and 3D Model are done by me (3DStudio an Photoshop are cool)

I don't rush... I will make it as cool as possible.

Seriously? Great modelling skills then!

If I'm correct, some parts are just "sheet panels", right? So they'll be just the width of a piece of cardstock? You'd have a textured front then, but a white backside. Some modellers make a seperate page with colored rectangles in the right places to be printed on the other side to avoid this. You could do the same, but I have to say I'm not a very big fan of that myself; I usually don't print those "backside pages" anyway, but people would have the choice.

Also, some of those "sheet panels" look like they're "hovering" a little above the engines for instance (or not, it's very hard to see in your pictures). Now this is no problem in a virtual 3D model, but for a real world papercraft, you need something to glue them to... But like I said, I may be mistaken about this, because it's very hard to see if this is the case.

Only tip I can think of right now: make it smaller than your other airship... ;o)
Papercrafts don't get cooler as they get bigger. ;o) Easier to build sometimes, but /po/eple can build more difficult things then you think if they really want to (and they'll want to on a model like this ;o).

no ... There are no "Sheet panels" on this thing. everything is 3D, so you don't need to worry about it. I already created some Papercrafts and I've got some experience with modeling 3D stuff for Pepakura.

This one is going to be 30-40cm long. If someone demands a bigger version I will do it, but the 30cm thing is hard on the borderline, because there are going to be some really small parts.

I am printing the highwind's double-sized variant on 11x17 pieces of cardstock... So I guess if you say really small parts, they will be totally unusable for me... I'll need to build a 37 foot ragnarok!

This looks amazing!
I'm glad you took your time on it.
I'm waiting anxiously for the finished product.

If you can actually make that in a nice detailed way I will love you for the rest of my life.

The pictures I have posted are screencaps from Pepakura. It will look like that when finished.

I have new ink for my printer and I'm currently building my Highwind (FINALLY!) ^^ But don't fear! The Ragnarok will be finished in time.

I've been building your highwind and this is what i have so far. right now i am working on the propellers in the back and they are a little difficult because they are so small. but so far it is looking good.

Keep in mind that the staff holding those back propellers is build into the car and you are in need to drill holes into the car (look at the pic)
>> Black Mage 001
Yep i did that

I'm loving this update but everyone seems to be in an FF vibe. Chamoo has Cerberus, Sane Person has recently put up Reno and now you've got Ragnarok. Are there no other video games out there worthy of /po/ ;)

Also could I have a link to the Highwind? I don't have it in my archive . . .

Before I developed the Highwind I did some Macross papercraft. After the development of Ragnarok I'm going to make some funny crazy shit and then the Hildegard 3 from FFIX.
I know that there are other game out there, but Final Fantasy is my favourite series (next to Gran Tourimo, Silent Hill and Metal Gear).

Hey, what kind of Macross papercraft did you do? Is it available anywhere? Pics?
>> Urashiman !cfvcNf4hiQ

I'll upload it again if you want.

Urashiman, do you have your own website for your models? I have to admit, I only come to 4chan for the latest from Chamoo232, sane person, and you – otherwise I really do not like to come here. Since the others now have websites, I was wondering if you had your own so I could avoid this place entirely.

I have a website ... but it is not about papercraft. I'm going to redo my website and I'm going to provide my papercraft on it. I don't have the time (or the will) to update it, but it will happen soon. I'll post my website when it is finished. At the moment my page is only german and there is only info about my weird comics and some of my projects. you just need to wait.
