Amazing. I really hope he finds a way to paint it.

By the way, can anyone explain these sentences to me:

"... this whole model is made with paper, including pipes, is simple and savings (plus is the raw material I work with in my models) for cutting a piece of paper that enrrollable on a wooden stick , To give it shape, then you have tail sticking with vinyl and once that is dry, remove the wooden stick and ready paper tube.
You can use any type of paper, if you need a tube thickest enrrollable greater quantity.
It is easy only a matter of experience and really what it is useful. "

Ho..ly...

That really looks great! And nothing but paper?

Wow. It seems like it should be impossible, but that photo clearly indicates otherwise.

And now it's going to move, is it? Some people... never happy, are they? :p

I think its just a guide to how to make the pipes.

Wrap paper round a wooden stick, glue it, take it off when its dry and your laughing.


Awesome model though.

Thanks. For the record, I wasn't trying to be snobby or anything, I was just a bit confused.

About the glueing thing. You simply apply paper glue to the outside of the paper tube, when it's wrapped around the stick?

It is written quite poorly,

for cutting a piece of paper that enrrollable on a wooden stick , To give it shape,
To make the tubes, wrap round a wooden stick
then you have tail sticking with vinyl and once that is dry, remove the wooden stick and ready paper tube.
Sounds like you coat the paper with some sort of vinyl, im not an expert on the arts and crafts, so im not sure
You can use any type of paper, if you need a tube thickest enrrollable greater quantity.
Use more paper for a thicker tube.

Its like the sentance has gone through a translater or something, i dont get why the word 'tail' is used at all :s

Sorry i cant help more, Gl if you do end up having a go.

By "tail", he might mean "edge" (tail=rear end, end=edge), so he might be saying "cut out the paper, wrap it around a stick, and glue the edges together with vinyl (a type of paper glue I guess). When the vinyl is dry, remove the stick, and the paper tube is ready."

To me, it makes more sense to glue the edges than the entire paper.

That thing is very cool, I want one!:sinister: That it is made out of paper is very impressive. The design is very good too. I think with all those spikes and rivets it has a very unique look.

Same technique you use to strengthen metal, lattices.
I am curious, how do you strengthen metal lattices? Lattice is tasy word, reminds me of lettuce with salad dressing all over it.:turtle::rainbow:

I want one too, just because I like titans, but I would rather have a more sleek looking one, not the steampunk style.

I would make one, but I have no skill with that sort of thing. Besides, Im too lazy.

Hasn't he just got the paper templates and added alot to it? Don't wanna take away from the effort and brilliant work put into it.

I hope he made 2 of everything so he can do it in plasticard. paper is all good and well, but it wont last if he uses it in matches.

Basically if you do a paper box, you can add as a example a hunny cone center to the inside.

Also if you see from the other forums the the chin piece of papar is just a rounded piece. When you put on all them spikes on it, it'll make it all rigid.

Tubes are by nature a very strong structure, and paper is esentialy a weave of fibers. I assume he is coating it with a couple coats of epoxy resin. Once its set this stuff will be almost like a poor man's carbon fiber.

composite materials = Very light and very strong.

I think that going plasticard would be wrong and that this method is possibly the basis of a much tougher structure.

Although this is just my hypothesis and I could be totaly wrong.

If you dont believe the structural strength that paper can provide check out Shigeru Ban's cardboard bridge and paper church. The bridge is over a river and is capable of carrying people and the church is big enough to house over 100 people and is based in an area that regularly has earthquakes.
