Francine Dingleberry	Posted - 2009.04.01 01:53:00 - [1] So I finally got over my fear of trying curvy ships in papercraft and decided to make a Vexor. Sadly, this may be the last one I do for a while until I get access to another color printer. Hope you enjoy it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/pupumonkey/sets/72157616107751049/

Cagot Aliastra	Posted - 2009.04.01 02:44:00 - [10] Beautiful! Did anyone else click on it to try to spin it?
Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2009.04.01 02:49:00 - [11] Originally by: Cagot Beautiful! Did anyone else click on it to try to spin it? Exactly. It's a little too beautiful. The layering to get the raised details with the correct textures and the shiney varnish sheen are possible but would take some major artistic talent. Not to be an arse but could the op take a few shots of it with some ordinary objects to get a sense of scale?

Taedrin Gallente Golden Mechanization Protectorate	Posted - 2009.04.01 02:57:00 - [13] Originally by: Zeba Calling it now. Thats a render. That is my first impression too. It looks too detailed to be a paper model, not to mention the pure white background with a seemingly perfect shadow cast. On closer inspection though, the white background looks grainy enough to be a real photo, and I noticed there is a stand at the bottom of the photo. If it IS real, that has to be one of the best pieces of art I have ever seen.

I'll see if I can have him send me a pic of it with his cat perhaps if you want a scale comparison. :)
AmonJaeger	Posted - 2009.04.01 03:08:00 - [15] I was pondering how you did this. I'm guessing OpenGL to get the textures and model, then you printed it on gloss photo paper (the shine effect), cut it out, folded/shaped it, and glued/taped? I'm pretty new to EVE, maybe the models and textures are online somewhere.

Bruinbear	Posted - 2009.04.01 05:26:00 - [30] What happened to the whole birthday present idea??? ;p
Nyphur Pillowsoft Total Comfort	Posted - 2009.04.01 05:55:00 - [31] I would pay a considerable amount for a model like this. A considerable amount for a poor student, but still. That's one of the most amazing eve ship models I've ever seen made. Makes me sad that the official ones are so terrible. EVE-Tanking.com - Helping you keep your hull in-tact.

CCP would **** it up. items in the eve store are awfull. Thats a beautiful vexor. any reason why you didnt choose the Ishtar Skin ? oh and thats a superb render. the spray you used really makes it authentic. and the curves just look perfect. any chance you could spry up the previous ships ?

Melor Rend	Posted - 2009.04.01 08:36:00 - [43] My god.. simply fantastic! I was expecting something totally different when I clicked the thread... Your a genius! Talk to CCP about selling build-your-own paper ships on the EVE store... you know with the "skin" already printed in high quality and a handbook on how to stick it together to make your own ship. Like for model planes and stuff. That way you'd only have to create the kit once and we can build them together ourselves... Like most of the table-top games. Cheers
Eleana Tomelac Gallente Eclats de verre	Posted - 2009.04.01 08:56:00 - [44] It's really great, do you have any pictures of half finished ships, different steps in construction? Totally awesome, we want to see more! What's that app you've been using to create the paper version shapes, there was a screenshot of a side part of the vexor inside, it just looks totally awesome too. Or do you use some ususal 3D app and make the cuts yourself? (looks like an incredible amount of work adding to the incredible amount of work that happens after printing) -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !
Dmian Gallente Gallenterrorisme	Posted - 2009.04.01 09:11:00 - [45] Very nice! You have lots of patience. Just so some of you know how it's done: - He used Pepakura Designer to make the template. - He made a first cardboard model as a base. - He then applied a first layer of textures. - Then applied a second layer of texture cut to match armor to raise the armor. - He finally sprayed it wit a glossy finish. I hope I got all the steps right. When I was in college we used to use an empty ballpoint pen to indent lines in cardboard models, and I thought at first you did something similar. But on closer inspection I saw that you used a 2 layer approach. It takes more time, but the results are stunning! Congrats. ---- Originally by: Anne M.

Candy Pain	Posted - 2009.04.01 09:25:00 - [46] That is quite magnificent. I'd like to say "congratulations", like you had a child :) I want one.
Nouva MacGyver Caldari MacGyver Communications	Posted - 2009.04.01 09:30:00 - [47] This is the kind of stuff that should've been sold on eve store Hot damn, it's beautiful. An engraved Gallente Federation logo on that base and you could probably market this as a limited collector's item!! P.S. Nice cat
Camuran Gallente	Posted - 2009.04.01 09:53:00 - [48] I am still inclined to ask what day it is today...

Francine Dingleberry	Posted - 2009.04.02 02:05:00 - [53] Here is the file for anyone who wants to make it. It requires Pepakura viewer to print it out. You will also want a color printer. Let me know if the download link is broken and I'll try to make it work.

Sobach Gallente Fourth Circle	Posted - 2009.04.02 16:18:00 - [55] How did you extract the ship model in the first place? Any pointer would be greatly appreciated, I'm probably gonna go give this a try when I get home :D

Anaesthera Gallente Abrakadabra. Shadow of xXDEATHXx	Posted - 2009.04.03 00:21:00 - [64] So I've done origami, but never this papercraft. Any tips? For example, how do you cut it out? Tiny scissors or a razor? What's the best kind of paper to use? Where the heck do I start?
Francine Dingleberry	Posted - 2009.04.03 01:31:00 - [65] Edited by: Francine Dingleberry on 03/04/2009 01:31:06 Originally by: Anaesthera So I've done origami, but never this papercraft. Any tips? For example, how do you cut it out? Tiny scissors or a razor? What's the best kind of paper to use? Where the heck do I start? For me: I print it out on 65lb card stock and use an X-Acto knife to cut. I also use crafting glue you can find at any hobby craft store (Michael's) I use the Elmers brand clear crafting glue. You will also want: A straight edge metal ruler Some non-crimping pliers like the kind used in jewelery making some markers for any creases or areas where the print toner is worn off Some medical clamps or self-closing large tweezers to hold the pieces Good luck!
