by uploading this files i can say i feel happy, proud and honored happy that i finished it, of course but proud and honored, that i had the chance to build it
with this model i finished my first collaboration with an other dA member
ok, i know you all wanna download as fast as possible the model sheets, but i write this anyway, because it means a lot to me.
in the center of 2010 i started to ask some 3d artists about their models and if they would share it for a papercraft project.
i recieved a lot rejections but Griphinator was the first who agreed and send me the mesh of his Spidertank
so give him a big hand too
well, i had a lot of problems in the last part of the year and it took a bit longer, more that i expected but finally i...... we can bring you this
and i guess, not even Griph expected that rotating system of the top
But this model has also another important background for me not only it's a very cool mecha design and a reference for upcoming collaborations i hope it's a wakeup call for other 3d artists, that there are freaks out there with a lot of skill, who would love to take your visions into reality
ok, but now to the model to download the model just click download ore here with downloading this file, you get three pdo's
one with folding lines and texture (lined) one with folding lines but without texture (white label) and one without folding lines but with texture (lineless)
so you need as always the Pepakura Viewer which you can download here
the lineless version is hard, specialy when you reduce the objectivity of the cut lines
i printed the sheets with 20% objectivity and it was not easy
the pdo's are not protected, so you can still change the size with the Pepakura Desinger
because it's an OC of Griph you will NOT get texture this time
the model comes on 12 pages with 68 pieces
some word to the bloggers
ok, normaly i'm mister nice guy but this is important for me because this is a collab, you have to give credits to Griph too! otherwise i can't allow it to write a blog entry
you have the permission to use my photos you DON'T have the permission to use the renders of Griph except he write it here in the comments ore you ask him about it
this model is a Deviantart only download so do not upload this model somewhere else and the most important thing
this model is free and should it be so let it be!
and trust me, i search for my stuff
if you wanna write a critique feel free but don't critique the model itself
This is a very inspirational model, and highly detailed too! It could be modified to work as the basis of a star wars or warhammer conversion, (or could be 'mass produced' in paper as is, ready for tabletop gaming!) Im amazed at the level of detail, and the possibilities are limited only by your imagination
Great work, and hope to see more collaboration like this in the future = )
