Are you printing on plain paper and then glue it onto cardstock ?

Why don't you just buy 200gsm paper and use it. works great.

Hey, Blaar!
Yeah, I´d ratter to do that as well, but the ordinary laser print we have at work doesn´t support stronger papers, and I don´t have a pc / printer at home. But it´s fine this way; Just need a litte more time Cool

cataclism2 you wanted me to start a new topic for this but I am just going to continue on here.

First off let me start and say thank you to whammy for sharing this great model and thank you to shiftdel for converting it into paper.

Ok, so now onto the actual model.

Difficulty : 7
This model isn’t particularly hard so any one with some common sense and little bit of skill should be able to built this. Most difficult being the toes and the tubes on the bottom of the main PPC body.

Quality : 10
This model is as good as it gets. The texturing is top notch and the unfolding work is great and all is fitting spot on. I am giving this a 10 even though there are some missing textures on the tube at the bottom of the PPC main body. The model has no problem standing up and is very solid.

Accuracy : 10
Not sure what to say here. Accurate to what. Whammy's model ? Hell yes !!!

Time spent : 8
This model comes on 15 pages and 78 parts and took me roughly 15 hours to build

Over all : 9
This model is solid and looks great. Once shiftdel adds the new joints and knowing †CMO†Sturm who probably will release some awesome looking skins this can actually be a 10

Final thoughts :
This model has a lot of movable joints potential and shiftdel already mentioned he is working on some joints for this so posing this model will look great.

Make sure when building the missile launchers and the main PPC hosing that you first glue the parts that go into those parts before assembly because you will not be able to do so afterwards.

Take your time when building the front toes. They are a bit tricky with some small folds but it should not be to hard. I worked from the front of the toe moving backwards.

When building the bottom of the torso (thigh area) mark and cut the holes for the axle beforehand. You will need to push the axle through the part later on. Also the nuts at the end of the axle. Mark and make holes before hand. Not sure if shiftdel will release optional nuts with those holes in them.

Well, that’s it. What a great model. I wish I printed it on high detail printer since my print outs are a bit dull and color less and the holes of the barrels etc don't show up to great but the actual model's is great. I will re-built this with full moving joints and other skin once it is released. Till then you guys must wait patiently and once it is release enjoy this great model.
