Crysis Nanosuit

[paulhbell]

I've got a bit of a thing for building figures lately. I was going to something else, but been playing crysis and crysis 2 a lot over christmas. So I thought I'd give this one a go.

It's from paper replica. http://paper-replika.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=142&Itemid=204126

Some of the parts number arn't shown in the instructions, but they can be seen in the finished photos.

Started 3 days ago, about 2 to 3 hours a day.

That's an impressive build so far Paul,I've seen several figures available that I would like a go at but I don't think I'm up to them yet.My son is into various games and it would be nice to do some of the figures for him.Maybe your build will inspire me to have a go.

Any more progress on this one? It was looking really good!

 

[paulhbell]

Sorry for not updating this build lately.

Yes more work has been done, I will put another photo up in a while.

Hey Paul, I like the Avatar!!!!

 

[paulhbell]

Thanks zathros, just picked one from the ones already online, better than the last one.

I've got computer issues at the moment, on a old borrowed laptop at the moment. I'll put a new photo up tomorrow.

This Nanosuit is awesome, and your build of it is impeccable. Nice to be taking to you my friend!

I really like the textures of your suit.

I really like the textures of your suit.

I concur. Are you using standard smooth white card for this, or something textured?

Cheers,

I.

Hey, nice building! Already subscribed to the thread, that's one in my TO DO list.

 

[paulhbell]

Hi guys. Still have computer issues, no photos yet, sorry.

It's actually copy paper, I use this type of paper for all my figure models, gives better curves than thicker card.

Don't forget this isn't a design of mine, it's available for free from papereplica.

Sorry, did you write you're using standard 75-90gsm paper? A4? REALLY?

 

[paulhbell]

Yep, 80 gsm A4, I find that the paper is better for forming arms, legs, head etc. Also using thinner paper/card means I don't have to colour the paper edges, as you can see in the photo of the head, the seams are only just visable.

Hmmmm...

Don't you think the model will be more suscetible to sagging? A lot less stiffer too...

 

[paulhbell]

Not really, I stuffed the legs and body with shredded paper.

 

[Rogerio Silva]

Hmmmmm... and YEAH!!!

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhh...:thumb: The old stuffing-the-legs-and-body-with-shredded-paper trick...:mrgreen: Now I've got it!:twisted:
Thanks.
