Pepakura (uber large image warning)

[ShadowsfeaR]

Pepakura is the art of making cardstock/paper/card board into various stuff (e.g. Rifles, object,etc.). I've recently been pepakura active. My most recent project is the Halo SMG. Progress & pics (sorry for the huge images. Goddamn iPhone blows them up when uploading them using Imgur iPhone app or sumthin):





Unfinished stock


My cutting space


Unfinished body


Finished stock put together w/ the unfinished body to see what the SMG kinda looks like


My glueing space. Got clue and stick glue


mosquito I thought was dead until I put hot glue on it an it moved and I'm all like qtf and then it died. Huehuehuehue

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that "pepakura" is just "paper craft" mangled by Japanese phonetic pronunciation.

I'm not entirely sure, but it's probably Japanese Katakana. i.e. the alphabet they use for words that aren't actually Japanese.

Looks pretty nice. I'm guessing you don't intend to color it now, though :P

Is this based off of a guide or what.

Isn't that a British pronunciation?


It should be:

Pey-Purr Ku-Raf-Tu

Well, what you do is:

1.) You print out the plans
2.) cut em out (usu. w/ a razor for clean cuts)
3.) fold where the folds go
4.) glue where the tabs need to be glued
5.) put it AAALLLL together
6.) resin/fiberglass it
7.) paint/spray paint it
8.) ???
9.) profit

I saw that loser on youtube that made most of the Halo weapons and multiple Spartan outfits doing this. He even made shotgun shells and magazines that you could load into the guns. It was kinda cool, but that kid has no life.

Just because he took the time to do something you would probably be to lazy to do does not make him have no life smartass.

Also, this is a program for that kind of stuff.
