Mr.Zombie Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 http://www.kartonwork.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6302&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 I am speechles. Don't let the word "paper" fool you, what this guy does with that medium is incredible. And except for axles that are made out of wire, he doesn't use anything else than paper... Yes it is in polsh, but pictures always say more than 1000 words. So long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Very impressive; most impressive of all are the drive chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I still can't believe that's all paper. Speechless is right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Zombie Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 The drivechains are sick, especially the fact that he also built the connecting tubes out of paper, but not half as mental as the spokes, that are made of many individual sheets of paper and sanded to perfection... Truly sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That's insane! I've seen other paper models that just blew me away! I'm actually more impressed when they build a model this detailed out of paper, than one that is built out of plastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 What amazes me is how he can do all that gluing and painting without the paper getting warped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yes,it's amazing what some people can do with paper. I've made a few paper models,but nothing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Man, I can't even do that with plastic, much less paper. Beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The workmanship is incredible! It takes more patience than I have to assemble the chain from individual multi-piece links (and all of this in 1:25 scale)! I read the posts (I read Polish) and his techniques are simple, yet very effective. What strikes me is how much further he is taking a basic paper model, making it into a very detailed scale model. To me a paper model is just bunch of parts printed in their final color on sheets of paper. They are cut out, folded, glued, and assembled, without painting. But he uses the original paper model kit more or less as a guide. He then shapes the laminated paper or cardboard parts by soaking the paper with lacquer, then when it hardens, sanding it to shape. He repeats this process multiple times to achieve the 3-dimensional pieces with curved edges. The combination of lacquer and sanding also takes care of the typical paper fuzz (after paper is sanded) and makes the parts plastic-like smooth. To me the way he uses paper he could just as well make most of the parts from sheet styrene (using the original paper model parts as cutting templates). That would be much less time consuming when shaping those parts as he could skip the multiple lacquering/sanding steps. He also paints all the parts so it is no longer just a paper model. Again, this goes way beyond building a preprinted paper model - this is more like scratchbuilding using the paper model parts as a guide. This model does have quite a few metal parts in it but those would be pretty much impossible to make from paper. Very, very impressive, but as I mentioned earlier, if I was going to attempt this type of a model, I would cheat and cut the parts out of styrene. After all, once the parts are painted, who would know (or really care) that it wasn't paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Back in the 70s, when I was a kid growing up in Poland, I used to buy a magazine called "Young Modeler". Each issue basically contained a paper model. Some larger models were spread over several issues. I remember building a helicopter and a large destroyer (ship). Those models were quite nice and not expensive like plastic kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
