Stephen W Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Manage to get a few hours in on the smaller detail and yes its all paper still As you can see it now has landing gear and gear doors! and the top side... I have managed to build the rear tow gun and some of the panel detail. Next I am onto the rear detailed fins Edited November 11, 2020 by Stephen W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen W Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 A few more with the rear fins and stabilisers added. Onto the final bits now Really pleased with how it is turning out from the 3D model. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if like me you had the original Starwars toys but they were not made to scale compared to each other. I remember having a Snowspeeder as a kid and the toy was the same size as my x wing and the ATAT seemed too small too. I am planning to build an ATAT to the same scale and detail out of paper after this. The ATAT will stand about 41cm tall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Great result! Is the weathering and painting already in the design before printing or is a second step? In this case , how good does the paper hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, the weathering is all done in Photoshop after being modelled in 3ds. I just use a UV unwrap modifier and then import the texture. In regards to keeping it looking good I always spray mine, once built, with a matt varnish to protect the colours from fading and to seal everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 What would you say about this paper design compared to the available plastic kits? Your model looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your model looks fantastic. Thank you, The main reason I am using paper is I can create the model from scratch and give it my own spin more easier. I would say both are great but it depends on what you would like to achieve, as you can see you can get some really good detail in paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
