>>528309I had finished watching the GunGrave anime for the first time and I really wanted one of Graves Cerberus guns. I looked around for an airsoft one but they were too expensive for me. So I decided to make one. Discovered papercraft and found a file of the gun and set out making it. I never finished it, it seemed to complicated at the time, but I went back to the file years later and realised it not very well designed. After making a couple of movie a game props, I discovered you can add fiberglass resin to papercraft and make them really tough, failed at doing that for awhile. After about a year and not being able to find pepakura models of things I wanted, I decided to try my hand at 3D modelling and importing my creations into Pepakura Designer. 3 years later here I am. I haven't released many Pepakura files, but the ones I have released have been very popular. (my shitty Loki helmet, my Amon mask from Avatar Korra for examples) A couple years into my new hobby I realised I had been doing papercraft since I was about 8. I made a paper Roman Centurion shield, spear and helmet for a school project once.
Haven't made many papercrafts recently. Last big thing I did was last year, got 60% into making a full set of Gabranth armour from Final Fantasy 12, That project has been on hold for awhile. Next project I will do soon is Big Boss' Biomechanical Arm from Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain.
