Papercraft for the Greater Good

[mrln68]

Putting together some Tau tests models before I do them in plasticard/putty and figured I might as well share. First up is a Tau Remora. Still have some to work out the wing root detail (plan on having them able to be folded like the Forge World model) as well as some details here and there before it gets unfolded.

Looks realistic. Are there more tau models like this ?

As papercraft yet? Not too many. There are 3 that I can think of off the top of my head. One is a Broadside Battlesuit, one is for their Hammerhead Transport and the final one is a Piranha skimmer.

The problem with Tau (like Eldar for 40K) is they are much more organic in their shapes. Imperial vehicles are bricks - nice and easy to make in paper. The others aren't really difficult, they just have more pieces due to the curves. If you want really smooth curves, you need a whole lot of pieces.
