EXIA Gundam 1:144 papercraft


Ok time for more badass model.
Yup its GN 001 Exia Gundam

There are many gundam model around the internet
but almost all of them are 1:60 scale. 
Its hard to build, need alot of paperstock, and need big space.
Or if you find gundam model with a few patterns, probably its SD scale.

So here I try to have my own concept, 1:144,
save space, and keep in proportional shape!
Of course its very simplified. May this can be trending to other designers. ^^a


But the real challenge is, the parts are so tiny.
for myself the level is hard-to-very hard.
you should use twezeers and extra careful!
BUt you can print it again if some parts are broken.
Even I make some spare parts, you can check yourself.







The INSTRUCTIONS is PDO file. pdo file can only opened by pepakura
viewer, which can download at tamasoft.co.jp
Don't affraid if models looks not complete in pdo.
in patterns all the parts are complete. For right arm and leg,
just mirroring from left parts.

There are 2 kind of patterns,
COLOR patterns, 4 pages only. print like usual in white paper.
its good to use 120-160 gsm papers.
BLANK patterns, you should print in 2 white paper, 1 blue, 1 red, 1 green, and 1 yellow.
You can use fancy paper, like jasmine, or brand like majestic and stardream.
By the way I use Jasmine.
