cardoboard?

[MzS7]

Hey i have an idea:

You know how when you press something in clay and it leaves an impression? Well if you have a + extension attach to your model and have a shell as in the 'impression' to hold it in place it would be very sturdy. _ _ l l_ l_ _ l <------------ extension, then a inverse form of that for the conector, it's like lego technic l_ l

[Jerksauce200]

it looks like a paper link massacre.

[200zero]

[elfbiter]

*applause*

[UlrichVIII]

that Arm-protector looks great! i'll build it for a cosplay i think xDD

great job dude :D

[FlameKing1087]

i just got a new printer day before yesterday... and i want to at least build the head... all i need is a butt-load of ink...

[lachlan334]

It's looking awesome, Haywan.

I can't wait for you to release it, I really want to build it.

[omgislink]

and oh, by the way, can you tell us how long it took you to make this? i want to see if i can build this b4 summer ends...

[ConSmith1807]

I've built the head so far, and that took me 3 looooong days (About 10 hours a day. Good thing I had nothing better to do) If you've got enough time you might be able to do it

[omgislink]

it's up already?

omg i bet the paper and glue will cost over $50 lol

[ConSmith1807]

I can get 250 sheets for $15 and black/tricolour cartridges for $40. I went through the remainder of one for the head and started on a new one for the body. I'll probably go through at least one more by the time it's all done. So probably close to $100 just for this model

[omgislink]

wow...so expensive, i wonder if i buy a life size figure, maybe out of plastic or something, would it cost that much?

[omgislink]

btw, i can't find the download link on the page, is it out yet?

[ConSmith1807]

As a response to a plastic model, that would probably be more expensive. I have a copy of the pieces minus the hands, sword/sheath and shield, but I think it's at the discretion of the creator as to whether or not he wants to release a download link publicly. If he gives the ok then I can share it.

[omgislink]

oh so he didn't post it yet, ok, thanks

[STUFF2o]

He's released downloads for several versions of this, all with different textures.

[ConSmith1807]

If you can find a pack of 250 sheets of paper you've got more than enough for this project. Usually that's somewhere around $15-$20. Glue's pretty cheap too, and the stuff he uses I actually use too and it works really well. It's really the ink that kills you as you'll probably go though 2 or 3 depending on your settings

[omgislink]

can you sell this?? i'm kinda sure you won't cuz if i made that i would put it into a showbox and never sell it...but ya, will you sell it? I AM a huge fan of link....ya... thanks

[smilie120]

What grade of card are you using?.. Sounds really thick.

[PaperCraftMuseum]

65 lbs or 250 gsm paper

[smilie120]

No wonder! O.O

And how many blades have you used cutting all this? :3

And about the fastening idea.. Sound's good.
